OFFICIAL Jack Bird released to the Dragons

[winslow_wong]

Please tell me we got something in return for this... it’s easily one of the most dud signing in our history. I just hope something good comes from it.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

No one except for fox has said this, so I wouldn't believe it yet

I can’t believe a highly competent organisation would be able to offload an injury prone player without chipping in something. So we’ve got no chance.

 

[ZTop]

Need a hug

Yes please

On the other hand, where does he play at the Dragons?

Unless they plan to play him on the left where he's less effective there isn't any room for him especially since Lomax has established himself on that right edge. If I was a St. George fan looking at Hooks history of signings I would be extremely worried about this.

Dragons love a big name signing that makes you wonder why they chose that player and where they plan to play them.

They shouldve thrown joffa in for free

 

[Kimlo]

It sounds like a proper release, in which case I welcome the news. 950k, now throw it at Grant.

 

[Battler]

We aren’t paying shit for him. He’s been released, no deal was made with the Dragons (with us). He’s off the books

So using Roosters accounting that should free up ten million dollars on the cap?

 

[Jedhead]

It’s for CS9 along with the $750k we had earmarked for Fifita

 

[Hoof Hearted]

I think fox sport are saying we are paying for most of his salary next year. I hope they are wrong.

 

[Foordy]

Explain please.

He has to believe that, or he would have to give some credit to the club for sticking to their guns ... and that would kill him

No it wouldn't actually. If this is the case (which it isn't) I would happily give credit where it is due, HAPPILY. If all of this mess somehow led us to getting Grant and a few other needed players, I would also HAPPILY give credit and admit I was wrong.

However, I am going on recent form here and the Broncos have stuffed up almost every decision they have made other than the Haas signing in the last five years. Admitting this board has made stuff up after stuff up does appear to be beyond you though.

I would love to have the blind faith despite all evidence to the contrary that you have but unfortunately I don't.

Bird has asked for a release not the other way around. I reckon we are paying nothing.

If that is the case, I will be over the moon.

 

[Harry Sack]

If that is the case, I will be over the moon.

To clarify, that's what I was asking. Thought you must have heard/read something to give you the opinion. Given the clubs track record, I can certainly understand your hesitation haha

Sorry. I don't have any inside info here but my volatile insides tell me that inside, the Broncos have stuffed this up yet again, from the inside out.
