It depends on what we do with Lewis etc. If we lose Lewis, Gal & Heighinton we are looking weak in the backrow.

It's all well & good that Bukuya would get the job done but whoever comes off the bench for him would likely be a massive down grade on what we have.

Graham & Bukuya at this point are our only quality backrowers for next year so Bukuya might even need to be on the edge.

I say re-sign Lewis.

11 Lewis
12 Graham
13 Bukuya

That would be a good enough starting backrow but then we need to find quality for off the bench.

11 Lewis
12 Graham
13 Merrin (just an example of the type of player)

With Bukuya off the bench has our backrow as dominate already just need another decent option off the bench.

I think both Gal and Lewy will go around next year with Heino retiring. Definitely don't want all three going at once.

On Bukuya, he is far to good for the bench now, he's definitely gone up a notch or two recently. Would be a waste not to have him on the field for longer when the time comes. I doubt we get someone who could do as good a job on the same coin as him.

If the offers are the same than it comes down to two things:
1. Amount in 3rd party payments
2. Position.

Apparently Bennett wants to give Nikorima 6 weeks to prove himself, if not impressive enough cant see Bird playing in the broncos spine

Not sure if that's the '48 hrs forum joke' as usual or whether you are serious but I am sure i heard somewhere that Bird was likely to make the call this week.

Dead serious mate, obviously not sure if its true or not given the inconsistency shown by the media recently

That article is completely different to what they were saying yesterday afternoon. I'd highly doubt they know whats going on.

No one does mate, excpet for Bird, his manager and the CEOs and coaches of the clubs involved who would have seen the contracts.
Anyone else putting their two cents worth in is pure speculation.

Guys as of last week he was going. I spoke to a current player yesterday who confirmed this however in the last few days weve been doing everything to keep him and now even the players do not know what Bird will decide. Hence, I don't know either. We will all have to wait and see.
