Message: [QUOTE="Tunza's Chin, post: 2823930, member: 8986"] Also, stoked by this signing. Really a big fan of Bird and think he is underrated by some on here. Tough, young, versatile and has that quality about him that only the real stars have. I've got no problems with the bloke backing himself as a spine/key player in the side. You need that sort of confidence to be a real star. He would by no means be the first Broncos player to have a huge ego, Bennett will manage him well. A lot of teams are shifting away from the overly structured play that has dominated the NRL for more than a decade now. With this in mind, and the prospect of further reductions to the interchange, I honestly think Bird has the potentially to redefine the lock role, as a on-the-ball playmaker. Further, I think the style of play Canterbury introduced under Hasler, using the forwards as links between the halves and one another is already and dated and has lost it's effectiveness. Having a ball playing lock such as Bird to fill this role could be a game changer for us going forward. [/QUOTE]
