Bird’s admission on ‘tough’ career in milestone
In Jack Bird’s 150th match, the Dragons were unable to come away with a win for the former Origin star.
Despite the disappointment of the result, Bird was in a reflective mood on his career with game 150 a massive achievement considering the injury history he’s had.
“It’s been a tough journey, obviously it’s taken some time to get here. I’ve played first grade for 10 years and only got 150 (games so far). when you think about it, it’s been tough,” he told Nine’s coverage.
“I’m happy I finally got here and there’s nothing better than playing at Shark Park where it all started. It’s unfortunate we didn’t get the win but I’m just grateful to be back on the field and getting to the 150 mark.”
