WHY BIRD REJECTED KNIGHTS
Cronulla star Jack Bird has revealed the main reason why he decided to reject a contract offer from Newcastle and sign with Brisbane instead.
Bird will fly north next season on a lucrative four-year deal, but said his decision came down to cavalry.
At the time, the Knights had only landed boom rookie Kalyn Ponga for next season.
It’s been reported that Aidan Guerra’s signing with be announced in the coming days.
“I was close and leaning towards them more [than Brisbane] but they just couldn’t sign anyone,” Bird told NRL.com.
“The Knights’ culture and living experience I was looking forward to and the club itself, but I just felt the team where it is at the moment and that they couldn’t attract key players made me doubt things.
“I just didn’t want to go there by myself.”
