Was going to put something about injuriousness here, but have lost the will to pun.

Good news, thanks. Any news on his injury or how far away from him making a comeback is?

he's been upping his training i believe this week, but can't see him getting much of a look in with the depth of the pack right now!

Would it be smarter to have him off the Catalans squad, so he could get more UTC games?

http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 21,00.html FORMER NRL star Greg Bird was "the victim" when he allegedly assaulted a young woman in a Cronulla nightclub, Sutherland Local Court heard yesterday. The 25-year-old, who on Thursday flew in from France where he is playing for the Catalans rugby league team, had his one common assault charge upgraded to five charges but believes the evidence of three security guards and security video will clear him. "Three security officers are able not only to give evidence, but to give evidence to the effect that he was the victim in this matter," his solicitor Patrick Conaghan told the court.

I do feel sorry for Bird, especially if he reads this forum! I think it is unfair to pre-judge him guilty, but that does not change the fact that we don't need/want him in the squad - hope he is found not-guilty and goes to Bradford.
