Message: [QUOTE="Wolfie, post: 3003910, member: 8770"] Not quite sure how me thinking you have an agenda against certain players is paranoia. If i was paranoid, i would think you were out to get me and not Jack Bird for example. I'm not even sure you know what paranoid actually means. Ask your teacher at school tomorrow for some help with that. Maybe you need read what you type. You said " Instead we bought Jack Bird. We bought Bird when we knew we needed a decent 7. " Thats clearly incorrect. We announced we signed Jack Bird in April 2017 iirc. We were still chasing Ash Taylor up until October 2017, when he re-signed with the Titans. Broncos didnt sign Jack Bird at the expense of a halfback, we chased a half back for a long time, we just weren't willing to pay massive overs for that half back. So your claim about Bird and the halfback is wrong. Its not even arguable, we wanted a halfback even after we signed Bird. And here are a links to a couple of articles that arent paywalled to back up my points about signing Bird and chasing Taylor and the timelines. [URL]https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/brisbane-broncos-sign-cronulla-sharks-star-jack-bird-on-three-year-nrl-deal/73274e8c-0c8b-4b56-8976-c27b28ebdb27[/URL] [URL]https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/ash-taylor-resigns-with-gold-coast-titans-on-threeyear-deal-20171025-gz7lxo.html[/URL] Taylor was probably the only decent half back on the market at the time we signed Bird, so where were we supposed to get this halfback from in 2017? There certainly weren't any halfbacks of the quality of Cleary or Cronk available. And you did say " someone like a Nathan Cleary or Cooper Cronk ", so who was available like them in 2017? [/QUOTE]
