After letting go of several key off-field figures, such as CEO Shane Richardson and Chairman Barry O’Farrell, utility Jack Bird<\/a> could become the latest individual to depart the Wests Tigers<\/a> after finding himself linked with the exit doors yet again.<\/p>\n No stranger to being linked with an early exit from the Tigers, Bird was previously granted permission to speak with rival teams in August and was even involved in a rumoured player swap with Nathan Brown<\/a>, which would have seen him link up with the Manly Sea Eagles<\/a>.<\/p>\n While this was shut down in October,\u00a0All Out Rugby League\u00a0<\/a>reports that Bird has once again been offered to clubs in the Super League<\/a> competition, which could see him depart his current team before the beginning of the 2026 NRL<\/a> season.<\/p>\n One of seven recruits that arrived ahead of this year’s campaign, the 30-year-old failed to make an impact throughout the 2025 season, which saw him drop out of the line-up on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n Nearing the end of his playing career, he did feature in 17 matches for the joint-venture but has failed to recapture the form that saw him represent the NSW Blues<\/a> during the 2016 and 2017 State of Origin<\/a> series.<\/p>\n
