Message: [QUOTE="Jason Simmons, post: 3129730, member: 8275"] I agree it has turned out to be a shitty signing and with the benefit of hindsight, we’d have been much better off never making it. But let’s be real, Bird was one of the brightest stars in the game at the time we signed him, we had to pay so much because he had heaps of clubs attempting to sign him and we pulled off what we thought was a coup at the time, getting him when other clubs couldn’t. The Sharks are dodgy yes, but they were trying every bit as hard to keep him, as we were to signing him. Remember all the Rothfield articles? We did do due diligence, we were aware of his long term injury and his sternum injury and were prepared to cop that. Neither his sternum or his arthritis is why he has been out for two seasons though. Back to back knee injuries are. These can happen to anyone, unfortunately they have happened to him, twice. Hopefully he has a big year, next year, or that will be it for him, I think. A shame, he was really good and would have added some real quality to our team. [/QUOTE]
