Greg Bird keen to keep brash young Knight, and future brother-in-law Robbie Rochow in his place Greg Bird will be in the middle of a family feud on Sunday. GREG Bird is a State of Origin weapon with 170 games of NRL experience and he has been Gold Coast's best player this year. Robbie Rochow is a rookie with 16 first-grade appearances for Newcastle and he is intent on earning bragging rights over his future brother-in-law. Rochow (pictured) is the younger brother of Bird's partner, Becky Rochow, and the two bruisers will come face to face at Robina's Skilled Park on Sunday. Bird is ready to give his 22-year-old opponent "a lot of special treatment" as Becky enjoys the round 7 game from the stands. "He's been on their left side for most of the year but last week switched to the right so I think we'll be marking up directly in front of each other, which should be fun," Bird, 29, said.

She told me she's going to go get a Knights jersey for this weekend. She's trying to stir me up as much as I was stirring her up about bashing him. She just wants to see a good game and both of us walk off the field healthy. We're good mates. It's going to be interesting. Both are Maitland products, with Rochow spending time in Melbourne's system before finding his feet under Wayne Bennett on home turf. The growing back-rower has made 176 tackles this year at an average of 29 a game and is regularly playing 80-minute games, just like Bird.
