THE Broncos have made an offer to Jack Bird to join the club for 2018 on-wards. However, Bird is viewed as a fullback at the club... with Darius Boyd still in line to shift to five-eighth for next year.
Bird is not the long-term answer at halfback but the Broncos believe his versatility is vital in today's game and he allows them more flexibility in their squad.
The premiership winner and Origin centre has bigger offers from Newcastle and Parramatta but is genuinely interested in Brisbane because he believes Wayne Bennett can make him a better player and he wants to be at a premiership contender.
My understanding is the Broncos are outside chances to sign Bird, with the Knights in the box seat.
Bird has told the Sharks he will decide his future next week.

We're sooooooooo fucked if that happens, Boyd is a better Fullback than Bird, Milford is a better Five-Eighth than Boyd and Hunt is a better Halfback than Milford.. We'd literally be downgrading 3 spine spots at once..

I rate Bird. But I'm not sure we need him at all. We need a 7, if we're just moving Boyd to 6 (which I don't like) then Kahu can be fullback , we don't need to pay big money for a position we're well covered in.

Very small chance Kahu could handle 30 games of playing 80 minutes at Fullback physically, that's probably why we're considering other options.

I find this confussing as shit ! It was metioned that it will be a stop gap and then move him to lock or center. Someone must be leaving for this to happen.

Boyd at 5/8 is like Gidley playing at 5/8.

Chris Garry is reporting we've made an offer to Jack Bird for 2018 - he'll play fullback with Darius to 6.

That right there is a player manager dropping our name to get better money from the Sharks because even with big $$$ he doesn't want to end up at the Knights.

I'd take Bird in a heartbeat. Not at fullback but as a 5/8 for sure.

Will never happen though. Media scum being scum, as per usual.
