Jack Bird has declared he wants to stay at St George Illawarra despite confirming he spoke with NRL rivals after the club pulled out of a deal at the end of 2021. Bird remains off-contract at season's end and is the Dragons last big name to renegotiate a new deal after all but conceding they will cut Tariq Sims free for next year. The centre-turned-back-rower was offered a two-year deal at the end of last year, but opted not to sign when given a deadline to decide his future. "The talks are back in action now and I have made it clear I want to stay here and be here in the long run," Bird said. "I have always made it clear I want to stay at the Dragons. I am back home with my family and friends "Hopefully we can come to a decision in the next few weeks." Bird's future has been a point of constant headlines in recent months, with Bennett declaring his interest this week and the Eels' inquiries becoming public.
