BRISBANE coach Wayne Bennett says Jack Bird’s NRL season is all but over after booking the prized Cronulla recruit for surgery.<br />
Bennett said the Broncos were preparing to “get by without him” for 2018 after ex-NSW star Bird finally succumbed to the sternum injury that has plagued him for nine months.<br />
<br />
Bird - who has played just eight games in his first Broncos season - has been booked for surgery on Monday.<br />
<br />
The 23-year-old has not been sighted since round 10 but had been hopeful of playing Saturday night’s NRL clash against his former club the Sharks.<br />

The announcement was made by state premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, in Los Angeles where she is on a trade mission. Her meetings have also included Disney, Netflix and Technicolor. Other announcements during the trip have included Screen Queensland funding for the second season of “Harrow” and its producer Hoodlum Entertainment; and Queensland resident Darren Paul Fisher being awarded the 2018 Greg Coote Scholarship.<br />
