And he's only 28.This is a myth. He was only ever injured at Brisbane because they mismanaged his injury. He hasn’t been injured in almost 4 years
Out of all locks Bird is:
1st for try assists
1st for tackle busts
3rd for offloads
Top 10 for tackles
Has some errors and penalties in his game but is a beast with the ball.
People remember the trajectory he was on at the Sharks and how it all fell apart when he went to Brisbane, but since then he's settled down into a really solid player with all the attributes we need.
Yes he needs more discipline but he wouldn't break the bank and would be a much better lock or edge player than RFM for example.
