Matt Johns Discussing Jack Bird

John's on his evening show has discussed briefly the fact that it seems almost certain that Jack Bird has signed with the Newcastle Knights. He stated that he hoped to confirm by the end of the show that Bird has officially signed a contract ending speculation about his future.

Comes as no surprise that Cronulla couldn't retain him as premiership winning sides in general become burdened with salary cap issues as players demand more. Well done to Newcastle, Bird and Ponga are good signings perhaps the attention for them will now garnish around finding a quality back rower and prop.
