Bird and fellow representative star Dave Taylor joined teammates Beau Falloon, Jamie Dowling and Kalifa Faifai Loa to be stood down by the club and issued with notices to appear in court in relation to drug offences.
The Titans are already without a major sponsor and don't have a training venue, now they'll need to confront the reality of starting the season without three of their starting forwards with the five players to appear in court in March. Bird was charged with two counts of supplying cocaine, Taylor one count of possession and one count of supplying and Faifai Loa one count of supplying.
