Message: [QUOTE="Number6, post: 2970161, member: 9008"] Bird is being singled out because he didn’t need to be bought as I’ve said before. Bought on presumably big coin for no specific positions when needed a halfback and maybe a hooker far more. Then showed up way over playing weight. (Sternum doesn’t make u put food in mouth or prevent u string on an exercise bike). Then played terribly. In retrospect we now know injury contributed to this but reality is regardless of fault it was a bad buy at the time that turned into a terrible buy in retrospect. It’s not retrospect to say could have kept arrow and chased a half decent halfback with his coin this year or next. Doubt the Englishman is on that much and was clearly bought with a purpose for playing in the backrow. For me isn’t about blaming Bird but instead those that made the decision to recruit him. And not even against buying Bird if it was right price (can’t know) and with a good plan where there is some hope of getting money’s worth cause it won’t be as a centre and big risk if for a position he hasn’t played.
