Bird signs for Bulls, confirmed by club : Fri Jan 16, 2009 11:33 am  

Was told you are talking to the Orr brothers about signing Greg Bird.

Anyone heard anything this side of the pond?

Surely if he's going anywhere in England, it's going to be Wigan or Huddersfield. Both need a halfback desperately and both will be willing to throw stupid money at him.

ABC online He's been released. However, 2 things worry me. Would the club really want to be linked with a player with a spousal abuse case hanging over them and two would he get a work permit? I know he's a bit worse but that fella Huddersfield were signing was refused one

If not will they take Mastercard?

One big problem in this is that he is due in court in Oz in April. How long would he be away for?

If, of course, these rumours are true but, in a brilliant irony, Gledhill now gets more right now that he has quit the gambling!

Whoever he signs for he'll be in England for one season then back to NRL.

So much for the Bulls being a family club. I have a feeling that this one could bite us on the

Will he get a visa though if that Hudds bloke didn't get one?
