I think you'd find the Dragons would be contributing to his salary.
why his contract finishes this year
Good option off the bench. Can play across backline and back row. Only if dragons contribute to cost.
The St George Illawarra Dragons could head into 2023 without Jack Bird on their contracted players list after revelations were confirmed he is testing the open market.
Bird, who has spent much of the last couple of years battling injury, is off-contract at the Dragons at the end of 2022 after a strong 2021 season.
The utility option - who is set for a move away from the centres and into the middle third of the park this year - has reportedly been unable to come to terms on an agreement with the Dragons so far.
According to The Daily Telegraph, the Dragons have asked Bird to take a significant pay cut, causing him to go to the open market, where Wayne Bennett and the Dolphins are reportedly very interested.
Bird's manager, David Riolo, told the publication that "nothing has happened."
“They made an offer before Christmas, we had a few meetings, but nothing’s happened,” Riolo said.
“We’re not at each other but the talks have stalled. We’re on different pages at the moment.
“There’s a fair bit of interest from other clubs. I wouldn’t be saying he’s looking to leave at this stage but he’s got to look at his options.
“We’re now in the process of seeing what’s out there.”
Dragons coach Anthony Griffin also confirmed Bird was on the open market when speaking to Fox League following the club's opening pre-season trial victory over the Parramatta Eels, but said it was a "decision for down the track."
"Jack's been on the open market since November," Griffin said.
"That's something we will sort through with him and that's a decision for down the track at the moment.

Haven't heard anything or read anything of that nature
a risky signing, a bit like asking Popps for financial advice! LOL
Take him in a hearbeat. Would be a great centre combo with penisini. Can play second row and lock as well. Obviously a bit of a gamble with injury concerns but still worth it.
if the Dragons are topping him up then I'd be comfortable however it kinda seems like they want him for 2022, why would they top him up ?
I for 1 would want him..very good player with natural ability . Game breaker something along with Hodgson we need.
I hope so. Really good player, he could play centre and we need a decent one alongside Penisini. He could also play in the backrow.
It is a big yes from me.
