Why would Izaia Peres leave union and a possible wallabies jumper. Surely he must have some kind of assurance given to him and not just a dream follow.

Agreed. There would be a plan in place. He would have a horrible manager if they didn't have a somewhat direct pathway to first grade

He has to prove himself first as a Rugby league player. I don't see why we would need to give him assurances.

That's pretty gnarly. He is a weapon. Interesting, I'd say he would definitely be good enough to make the starting team - but who for? I doubt he displaces Corey or Jamayne.

It is doubtful though that he'd leave the Reds and a fringe Wallaby position to play Q-Cup.

Because we are dealing with people's lives. It's really just dependant on the player and what he needed to have set in place in order to give up his career in union. If the lure of playing for the Broncos was enough then that's great for us.

maybe he is backing himself (especially given Union is broke and the Wallabies SUCK)
He doesn't have a Broncos contract, so any "assurances" he may have received mean jack shit ...
If he is good enough (and the highlights package i saw looks very promising), he will earn a top 30 contract with us during the pre-season. I'd actually go as far as to say there is a good chance given our depth is shallow in the outside backs

He owns a gym at Strathpine, he's backing himself to play League. Dolphins would be giving him $40,000 train with Broncos and play with Redcliffe trying to win a contract.

We could still release Kahu and sign Perese if we wanted to. In my opinion it's all up to Seibold now. The club's management has had their say on everything they wanted to. They've picked the coach that they believe will make the right decisions here.

Hope he can play fullback, these highlights look like he has the skill and footwork for it. He definitely has some ticker.. can tell from his runs and the positions he puts himself in to make the break. I'm thinking he'll most likely be a winger/centre on the left edge.

There might be a bit of future planning going on, Isaako to fullback to replace Boyd next year and this guy straight on to the wing.

I am very curious with what Seibold's planning for Bird. Hopefully an early release from contract with no pay out :')

you realise that is impossible right?

Why?
So if Bird plays great next year but struggles to fit into future plans salary cap and team cohesion wise..
Is it not possible that another club would be willing to buy out his entire contract?
Did this not just happen with Shaun Johnson and the Sharks?

so what your saying ... is that if Bird sucks next year, another club will be prepared to take on 750k+

A top 30 contract is probably a given IF he is given clearance by the reds. He is actually still under contract with them for 2019 so until he can get an actual release he can’t really sign with anyone bar a qld cup club. By all reports Reds don’t want to lose him.
