Jack Bird has written a scathing review of supporters who want St George Illawarra coach Anthony Griffin fired, noting that continuing criticism of coaches and players could'push you over the edge.' In addition, the Dragons forward spoke out about a previous report that he wanted out of the club. Bird said he wanted to help turn the 16th-placed Dragons around but left some doubt about where he might land up as well as one of his answers to a question concerning his future. After five consecutive losses that brought Birds on Wednesday, it was a question about a petition from supporters to have off-contract Griffin axed immediately.

On the NSW and Victoria border, Jack Bird, 16 (left), had been missing since his tinny capsized along Lake Mulwala in Yarrawonga (top and bottom right). A frantic hunt was launched by emergency services before officers discovered a body at 6.30 p.m. on Thursday. The body had been discovered near Kiffins Bay, according to a NSW Police spokeswoman.

In a dramatic display of Sunday afternoon rugby league, the Dragons have managed to remain in last place, putting in a superb effort to keep the wooden spooners alive.

Zac Lomax iced the lead, converting a tough throw from shoulder to head, putting the ball in a good win for coach Anthony Griffin.
