Club legend, board member and part of the recruitment team, Darren Lockyer, said the decision was entirely up to Bird.
“It is up to Jack what he wants to do,” said Lockyer.
“I don’t know if he wants to get out, but it’s Jack’s call. He’s got a contract with us next year, but if he feels like he’s going back to his best physical and mental health at another club in Sydney, only he can make a decision. “
