He can defend especially at his peak.Gutho is a PR construct!
Nobody but you EVER used the term "superstar"!!!So you are acknowledging Bula is currently no superstar and currently not worth 900k but you think we should pay it in hope he gets there by 2027 ?
The writing is on the wall, we will give in and pay him 900k, I wouldn’t be surprised if Isaac demands we renegotiate and pay him 900k from 2026 onwards and we agree to it.
That would mean we virtually have no money left in our salary cap other than to retain what we have and maybe add a couple of lower tier top 30 players.
If you think our current roster plus the addition of KPP and a couple of depth players is good enough to see us be be a definition 8 and possible top 4 team than so be it, I cannot see how that will be good enough, time will tell.
AT HIS PEAK..... when was that again....???He can defend especially at his peak.
He's on a very flat trajectory at the moment, it needs to rise sharply before he is worth the numbers that are being thrown around.Bula is a very good player but please do not have inflate his price $700,000 is a fair price he is nowhere at the $800+ mark yet, he may get there within 2 years and he may not.
he still cant catch a highball 😂 it’s a easy 6 points for every oppositionAT HIS PEAK..... when was that again....???
Did you see him against the Raiders?
We have been proved to be stupid in the past so I will not be surprised if we pay it even if there is no improvement in his game play.We would be stupid not to pay it IMO.
It is not for right NOW - it's for 2027 FFS!!!He is not worth the big $$$ right now, If he does become awesome as people are suggesting his manager will take him anywhere but here. Why pay top dollar to develop him for some other team.
Can't trust Isaac Moses.
He's been top three every week FFS!We have been proved to be stupid in the past so I will not be surprised if we pay it even if there is no improvement in his game play.
You better get yourself down to the pub, you need a couple of beers.What pub?
I'll avoid the trogs!
Which reinforces what I said that Tigers fans overrate their own, to be fair, it's not just Tigers fans, I'm sure the same conversation is happening on the Canberra forum about Weekes or the Parramatta forum about Ionghi. Search other forums or the net in general, and I seriously doubt you will see Bula's name on any list of the best fullbacks. He will most likely improve, although there is also the chance he won't. Clubs that overpay on potential often get stung. With a heap tied up in Luai and Api's new extension, we can't reall afford to pay on the hope he might be better in a few years.If anyone seriously rates those in italics above Bula on the basis of consistent form - you clearly don't watch full games or understand football!
We have cap space and spots for 2026 fool!You better get yourself down to the pub, you need a could of beers.
I’ll simplify it for you, you obviously want your team to make the top 8, top 4, if not won a premiership sometime soon, preferably before you and I are both dead.
Paying over inflated prices and giving into rogue managers demands for players who are decent, but not not genuine match winners, will not allow us to at least be in the fight to recruit a genuine superstar that can help catapult us to where we need to be.
You obviously believe our current roster plus KPP can win us a premiership, good for you, it’s nice to dream, but where’s the evidence to show how and why this will be a reality within the next couple of years ?
Latu Fainu has superstar potential and I agree that Terrell May, Fonua Pole and Sione Fainu are all very good, improving and under rated middles, I’m not swapping them for anyone on their current contract values.
Sam Fainu has been believe his best for most of this season, but was back to his best with a bang on Sunday, it’s a possibility he and KPP can become a top class edge bs know pairing IF they are at or near their best on a regular basis.
Our outside backs make good yardage, but lack the speed and class of nearly every other NRL club and they are suspect as a unit defensively.
That’s not enough to be a genuine finals team or challenge for a premiership anytime soon and you know it.
hank37w you are killing me 😂He's on a very flat trajectory at the moment, it needs to rise sharply before he is worth the numbers that are being thrown around.
Thank god for that.We have cap space and spots for 2026 fool!
Fullback is not our critical recrutiment option for next year - and I am sure we are targeting the right recruits where our depth is thin!
PS: Check NRL360 tonight - with Andrew Webster advising that Moses called him to specifically debunk the reports that Bula is being shopped... the report was bullshit and against his players intentions.
Wrong - I call a spade a spade based on 40+ years of experience and critical observation!Which reinforces what I said that Tigers fans overrate their own, to be fair, it's not just Tigers fans, I'm sure the same conversation is happening on the Canberra forum about Weekes or the Parramatta forum about Ionghi.
