Bird destroys Bulldogs defence for incredible try assist

Jack Bird continues to push his claims for a State of Origin berth, producing the try assist of the year against the Bulldogs.

With the Sharks trailing 12-6 late in the first half on Monday night, the young centre made a mockery of Canterbury's defence to set up a Valentine Holmes try.

As you can see in the video above, the 21-year-old treated Curtis Rona like a rag doll, fended away Moses Mbye with ease before producing an incredible flick pass to put Holmes in the corner.

It proved crucial as the Sharks went on to snatch a dramatic two-point victory.
