Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 2865872, member: 1769"] The DT are continuing their agenda and still claiming Bird doesn't want to ne at the Broncos next year ... oh and his deal is back to 4 million ... [SIZE=6][B]Sport Confidential: How will Jack Bird cope with Wayne Bennet, a coach who is big on respect?[/B][/SIZE] Michael Carayannis and Christian Nicolussi, The Daily TelegraphAugust 10, 2017 8:49pm YOU have to wonder how Jack Bird will fit into Wayne’s world? Everybody knows supercoach Wayne Bennett is massive on respect and players toeing the line so Bennett is certain to have his hands full with Bird [B]once he reluctantly shifts north.[/B] [B]Yes, Broncos fans, take it as fact Bird’s old man was still talking with Sharks officials as late as this week about pulling out of his $4 million, four-year deal.[/B] When Chris Heighington was about to bring up his 300th NRL game earlier this season, there was a huge turnout after the club’s captain’s run. It was a sunny afternoon, a few of Heighno’s former Wests Tigers teammates came to Shark Park, and club legend Andrew Ettingshausen presented the special jersey. The only star who wasn’t sighted was Bird. Then Luke Lewis brought up his 300th game, there was a lovely lunch at the leagues club the day before and Mick Ennis was making a stirring speech to the players. The only star who wasn’t sighted was Bird. Then on Tuesday night, a special dinner was held at the flashy Summer Sault for Paul Gallen, who bleeds black, white and blue and has taken a lot of time to give Bird guidance. Laurie Daley turned up. So did “ET”. So did most of the players. But no Bird. It is not the crime of the century. Bird is a loveable character and gun player any club would have. But someone should have got in his ear and told him to make an effort for the milestones. It’s a respect thing and something Bennett is big on.
