Jack Bird Asks For Release | The Knock On Podcast Clip

one player wouldn't welcome back to konala despite his heroics for the Sharks Jack bird who supposedly requested a release to talk to other clubs think he's headed to England I was going to say if you were the recruitment manager of any club any Club right now like even and I don't want to hammer them but even the tigers are hanging that phone up the Titans are hanging that phone up the Dolphins are hanging that phone up I think the Dolphins might have a conversation with him but they're hanging that phone up mhm the dogs may have a conversation with him but in the end they've got so many Jack bird like players parata could be a smokey for him but at the end of the day like playing football manager five years ago if Jack bird came up on the open market you'd be like yes absolutely how much do you want where do you want to play Let's Get it across the line now you're sitting there going oh Jack you want to come and play for us go to New Town yeah I don't things going England I think he's going England they we've seen we've seen players much further in their career Matt Mand go over there and Lead their version of the delm despite being a meme at canala last year because he couldn't defend and his attack had fallen off a clip Jack bird goes over there I think he'll be a star and he's still got a couple years left in him don't forget this aoku missed two full years I believe might be three he'd probably cumulatively be 5 years of his career by now in all honesty he's still young of body I know I know that sounds weird to say he can go to England and test he's not young at body though he's had shoulder reconstructions knee reconstructions and a kiles he's got chronic arthritis you want to send that to the snow look on paper it's weird that the report said that he has requested the release I I don't know if that's smart cuz I could name anyl centers suit we often jump on a five Landing spots for for players when they're linked um because it's fun to link and gets people talking I couldn't name five for chat but I couldn't name three I couldn't really name two I could play a little bit of Devil's Advocate and be like Ivan CLE could see him as a a top 20 squad player like he did with Tara and pachy like he you know going and play a little bit back going and play lock can play centers But ultimately you'll be playing New South WS cup is it a smart move for him to leave s George to go and play new South WS cup though probably not I think there's a there's a vacancy at Manley that he could potentially take bench but again it would be that you're on the bench or in new southw cup kind of scenario uh I'd completely rule the Tigers out he is not a player that they need in any way shape or form in fact if they sign him they deserve to be yelled at follow the can I make an out of the box suggestion Newcastle Newcastle is a good one but melb because if there's anyone who can take the ghost of Jack bird and turn him into a really good first grader it's Craig bamy we've seen players that you and I have gone God why are they signing oh that's why they're signing them that's again though he's 30 years old chronic arthritis Achilles near reconstruction shoulder reconstructions you want to go and send him in the cold of Melbourne yeah look if any one could take him it would be Melbourne and I think Jack bird is instigating these conversations because a club has reached out to him whether that be in Australia or in England
