OFFICIAL Jack Bird goes down

Up to the club and player to decide if he is done. Its not as easy though as just get rid of him, he has a contract.

If it is the ACL again then it pretty much all but guarantees that he'll activate his player option for next year.

No one will be looking to sign him after consecutive knee reconstructions so he would need next year to show he can still cut it for a new long term deal

He has rheumatoid arthritis, an auto immune disease. Wonder if that has anything to do with it? He’s been On pain meds since he was a teenager to manage it. I saw this in an interview before his NRL debut, was one of the reasons the dragons weren’t all in on him and let him go to Cronulla.

This comes to mind whenever I think about why we signed Jack. I wouldn’t have touched him knowing that.

Again, not his fault, but still.

**** off.

There are plenty of posts saying get rid of him now etc. It's ridiculous.

That's not hating him or being mad at him, it is saying that we need to cut our losses and given his cap value and the output (completely not his fault) that is pretty reasonable.

 

[broncsgoat]

That's quite literally the opposite of what he said.

He said he thinks Isaako is exclusively a Fullback, hence why he selected Arthars ahead of him on the wing.

Fair enough, I’ve been paying far less attention than normal

On an unrelated note, when did you return?

Last night, thought I’d get in on the season after sitting the off season out. Horrendous start.

This has been the least excited for a start of the season I have ever been because of the state of our squad and the abomination of 2019 still lingering. Now this is the icing on the cake unfuckingbelievable.

How can it be that I already want the season to end before a ball has been kicked?

Have a bad feeling we used all our luck on Lodge’s knee, doubt we get lucky twice especially when you factor in the details in the training mishap and the fact it’s the same knee.

I know it’s dumb luck, but you have to admire the brains of the coaching staff trying to turn him into a fullback at this stage of his career after his injury history when it is the positron that’s requires the most amount of fucking running.


Bird and Lodge long term injuries
Captain Glenn injured
Ofa suspended
Boyd and Macca still in the 17

Oh boy, where do I line up to for a 2020 season membership??? Pfffffttttt

Load up on the Cowboys @$1.65 before the price drops further. We will be 0/2 to start the season gents. Going to be another fucking long year

 

[Donald Garner]

Oh well 2021 season can’t come quick enough. I got a bad feeling that this season will be a bad one. I’m predicting we finish around 10-12 on the ladder

 

[Foordy]

Coach has said he doesn’t see Isaako as a fullback

actually i think what he said is he doesn't see Isaako as a winger

 

[Kyall]

Who's going to come into the 17?

 

[Nashy]

Same knee as the last ACL tear. He's popped it again I reckon. We're all sitting here fuming, how do you think Bird is feeling right this moment staring at the end of his career

I feel absolutely gutted for the poor ****, and us fans. I just keep thinking back to him in Origin, he was going to be fucking awesome.

RIP Season 2020

If the club aren't at least exploring the option of medically retiring him, they are out of their minds. If we could at least get that, MAYBE we could snatch up another good signing for Fullback before the cut off.

How will that work if Jack wants to continue playing? I can’t see us being able to do that unless Bird is hell bent on retiring.

Where is this supposed video footage of the incident? Is that actually real or a fantasy?

It's all over the news on TV mate. Turn a TV on....
