In a move that has sent shockwaves through the Rugby League world, the Wests Tigers have officially sealed the deal with Jack Bird, securing him for a two-year stint.
The signing was a long time coming, with Bird spotted exiting Tigers headquarters last week, signaling that the deal was as good as done.
This announcement comes after Bird missed his final game with the Dragons due to injury, confirming that he would indeed be donning the black, orange, and white jersey in the upcoming seasons.
The whispers and rumors surrounding Bird's future have been swirling for weeks, with speculation rife about whether he would stay with the Dragons or seek greener pastures.
It seemed that he had initially decided to stay put in Wollongong for another season, but a change of heart saw him pivot towards the Tigers instead.
His struggle to reclaim his spot in the first-grade lineup after an injury paved the way for his departure from the Dragons, who graciously granted him the opportunity to explore other options.
Not stopping there, the Dragons have also given the nod for Mikaele Ravalawa and Blake Lawrie to seek new playing grounds if they so desire.
This shakeup in the player roster is sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats, eager to see how these developments will impact the upcoming season and the dynamics of the teams involved.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Rugby League landscape continues to shift and evolve.
