Seems a worthwhile gamble only read this yesterday about him been released never thought of us been in for him perhaps because he was playing first grade. I presume he's a quota spot?

Greg Bird. Defensively superb, tackles well above his weight and can cover hooker to a very high standard. Has a good really good offload and general distribution.
