Bird has his positives, mostly his effort from the limited games, but regardless I always maintained he was a luxury buy that wasn’t necessary, particularly when you had a critically objective look at our team. We could’ve kept Opacic and spent that money on a half
Bird was a buy the Roosters would’ve made for this season just gone or 2020 when they’re already so strong and then can afford to upgrade a position with very little detriment to the rest of the team
it was never a case of Bird or a half ... we chased a half at the same time ... he just decided to rot away on the coast, completely fucking up his career for an extra few hundred grand.
