Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3237515, member: 1899"] It was always going to take big money to lure Bird away but it was a massive gamble. You were basically paying five-eighth money to somebody who had barely played there and was extremely limited in what he could do in that position. Yes, he won a premiership but he was about as instrumental in it as Ricky Leutele - just a handy cog in the machine as opposed to a core element. If you wanted the key player you'd go after an Andrew Fifita or James Maloney. Keep in mind too, his injuries were well known when the Broncos made that deal, it was a luxury buy and it blew up in their face. [/QUOTE]
