Everyone keeps saying play him at lock or second rower, what if he doesn't want to? Sounds like he has his heart set on 5/8.

So what happens if he signs at brisbane and the milford bird combo is **** and bennett says to bird u are going to lock? Bird is sellibg himself as a 5/8. If a team wants to pay him as 1 and put him on an edge bird will have to fall inline.
Even Lockyer was a better fullback IMO. Although his career wouldn't have lasted as long as it did. He was just such a freak it was always going to work out for him.one of Boyd's best strengths is his defensive game at the back, can't see them moving him to the halves. He's not a 5/8th like Lockyer obviously was imo

I don't think Boyd/Milford works either tbh. They are going to have to find a real halfback from somewhere IMO, maybe knock on the dogs door for Frawley. Knowing Brisbane they will find a gun.If they snag Bird they'll have to do something. No way Bird/Milford will work.
Don't be surprised is Boyd moves to the halves.

That then means they're trying to fit 4 players into 3 positions.

I don't buy the idea that Bird would be in the halves for Brisbane. If they get him they may give him a couple of games but I see it being the same as his situation here.That then means they're trying to fit 4 players into 3 positions.
:Yes:,:Yes:,:Yes:,:Yes:,:Yes: & :Yes:bird couldnt lock an esky, too small for a modern day lock
doesnt have the skill for 5/8, is a **** fullback
best spot is centre or second row
A backrow without josh jackson would be even better.
I wold be happy for Lewis to run around for 1 more year and then move bird into the right edge position. Jesse ramien may be an option at right Center then to fill his position. Otherwise recruit for center. I would spend bigger dollars on a replacement for Gal and ensure we have a good lock forward. Josh Jackson, Tyson Frizzel, Trent Merrin or a similar class of player. I would keep Bukuya on the bench as he provides good impact in the middle of games
Just depends on who we can get. Bukuya is fine to start at lock but if we can get someone better I'm happy for him to keep coming off the bench.
It depends on what we do with Lewis etc. If we lose Lewis, Gal & Heighinton we are looking weak in the backrow.Would be a waste of money imo to get someone better when he's clearly capable of doing a very, very good job. Better off spending the money elsewhere.
