Incentive based deal only - Let Broncos play half, then we pay match payments only for games that he is fit to play.
for e.g - Our $450k is divided by 25 games in the season - so we pay him $18k per game he plays only.

But......, that wont happen, he'd be better off collecting 950k in Brisbane.

You can't do that either. It's the same amount of the cap either way.

No denying he is a strike player with game breaking ability... But his medical condition would suggest that things won't get any better for him.... Massive gamble..

People on here say NO to every single player we are linked it. News flash we are coming dead last with the worse roster in the comp by a country mile. At some stage we need to take a gamble on these players. It can’t get any worse then the wooden spoon.

Brisbane probably will pay part of the salary next year but he wont sign just for a year, right?

This is the reality of the situation.

Think we'll just have to take some calculated risks in a few positions? Would prefer him at centre though

Either way the second year would be peanuts. Just like Foran, NO club is paying big dollars for Bird.

Yea I think we have to take some calculated risks eventually. 2021 will upon us before we know it and we need new players. For mine I like the aggression Jack brings and he also has a bit of footy IQ about him which the side desperately needs. You could start him at centre and try and get him fit and injury free before considering a switch to other positions

I reckon his worth a punt if he comes for 400 k or less. We need to strengthen a few positions. He could play centre, 5/8 or lock for us.

Maybe we are just trying to spend the cap because we can’t sign anyone else

He has one year left, if the Broncos pay half the freight then why not?

People need to wake up to reality, we aren't signing Burton and if we do he wont be here before 2022. I'd rather take the punt on Bird for one year and hope he can help us out of what is looking like another wooden spoon battle than just sit here and watch the same boring football.

If he doesnt work out for us then just dont re-sign him, its literally one year and we arent going to be competing for anything anyway.
half freight is stil 450. alot on its own
need to keep it trill - True and real for this BG - Baby Gangsta; an adolescent gangster

Once again they're linking us to every player in the comp to generate clicks..

I'd like to think the club wouldn't be that dumb, especially after Green tore his ACL and we just suffered through three years of injury prone Foran..
