Bird played like a one man wrecking ball against his old club with tackles on James Maloney and Ben Barba earning the ire of Cronulla supporters and it was confirmed on Monday morning that Bird has been charged with a grade two reckless high tackle, although coach Neil Henry said after the match that he didn’t believe there was much in the Bird tackle.
