"All you boys blowing hard and acting like this is too hard wouldn't last a day in Penrith training. This is what it takes to win."

This can be construed as a negative towards the Tigers training standards if the person repeating it had the agenda to do so. I'd bet on it being something like this.

We have recent memories of young Super Star Fullbacks in sub standard Backlines.
Bula pales in comparison atm.
I have faith in him, But he's got ways to go.

He needs a good fullback coach. Hopefully Hodgo can be that guidance for him. Remember Bula grew up playing centre and is a quiet type of personality. It will take some time to fine tune him. However I think he is closer than most think. His involvement is good, his defence is great, and his ability to make something out of nothing is pretty good.

He needs work on his timing and positioning when chiming into the backline, his catch pass in the same scenario and also some improvement in positioning when we are defending. All things Hidgo was great at.

I think Luai will help massively in this department as well

If we’re serious, we get Slater in - and that’s it.
I can’t think of any time in recent memory where a coach noted for a position excelled at bringing blokes through grade in that position.
I’ve seen it trotted out here for an eternity.. it rarely (if ever) seems to be the case.
Same as the best players don’t always make the best coaches.
Bulas’ defence is overstated because he made a couple crucial saves early on - so that’s become the narrative. A lot of the time, he can’t be blamed for bad defence because he’s not there - and that’s where he needs work. His effort in cover at the back isn’t always where it needs to be.

If he increases his ‘efforts’ overall, the things you touched on will also benefit.

If anything he's been starved of good ball. In attack he is always sniffing around the ball running at speed. Too many times another player in possession failed to pass him the ball and gone to ground or to a less fleet footed player. Bula may need to work a bit more with the halves to get himself in the best position to get good ball.

Actually one of the biggest criticisms of his game is that he didn't sniff around much. He hides out wide for the overlap play but didn't get involved the rest of the set. He needs to be buzzing all over the field all game if he's to be our long term fullback

Loads of talent but he was average last season at best ...wasnt in the top 12 fullbacks...needs to lift his support play and passing game in attack,and positional play in defense
Maybe bulking up just a little mite not be harmful,just like Teddy did all those years ago
We need more from him,and think he can deliver

Fitness aspirated to be his biggest issue. The skills have been there, when he's been able to be in a position to use them. Another off season and he should rip in this season
