A fit Greg Bird could have turned that game on it's head!
Agreed
I dont know if these guys were on the but greg bird was his skills were phenomonal looked so at ease with everything he did. Was wanting the ball everytime and could see the options would actually pay to see him vs another team when he's fit hes gonna be awesome

One thing i noticed straight away, was the way he held his hands while off the ball not on his side but arms out fingers ready to control the ball if it came to him he was always ready, excellent passes made a few half breaks when he went into the tackle he always somehow managed to get his arms free, to offload if he wanted too.
He didnt get as much of the ball as he liked, and was quite tired also but his class is there, wish we had him.
Yeah the little fat bloke with the gut, i did see him rolling around on the floor for a while, does that count

well worth the flight
winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11
Bird seemed to run harder than anyone on the pitch, some great offloads too! Thought he showed touches of class, and for his first game in Britain, went well.
