OFFICIAL Jahream Bula #269

[Red88_Tiger]

It’s the NRL’s figure that they are aiming at … but yeah it’s optimistic…

They didn’t get an increase the last time , have an extra game to sell this time…The games ratings are up considerably, they are talking about Monday games returning, and there could be some competitive tensions driving up the price between Nine/Stan and DAZN ( the new owners of Foxtel) …. I wouldn’t necessarily rule it out ..

When you say that they didn’t get a raise last time it makes me wonder where the cash came from to send teams to Vegas

Their non broadcast revenue has been increasing - sponsorships, selling Origin games interstate, from gambling companies … getting returns on the half dozen odd hotels they have bought since Covid …

I believe Bula is happy here at the Tigers but Isak Turned-Up-Noses wants a new commission - I heard there is a petition circulating to remove this filth from the NRL

Someone has previously posted that it is an incentive for Bula to re-sign an extended deal at WTs which means Moses will get his commission.

 

[jojo]

Are you aware a new Broadcast deal is being negotiated? There are expectations from the League of up to a 50 percent increase … this is what will drive a leap in the salary cap …

This is due to commence by 2028 at the latest …possibly even 2027 if it remains with the same partners

Nothing changes for 2027. The broadcast and CBA are both set in place. We are discussing his 2027 option, so all that's really pertinent.

Not necessarily…

There is another game each weekend with the Perth Bears coming in 2027 ..so already there is more content to sell and perhaps an additional time slot …Monday night?

If Nine stays as the FTA provider and DAZN as the Pay TV provider, it’s possible that all parties agree to wipe the last year of the current deal and have 2027 as the first year of a new deal to allow for the increased content

 

[Vicious]

Notice how we finally win a game when Bula's not playing and now y'all want to give him 900k when we win without him. You guys don't make sense at all it's like you're trying to get 7 consecutive wooden spoons.

Just for the record this is not my 2nd account.

We can’t just pay every player whatever they ask for without at least looking around to see if there is someone better for the same price.
If we are satisfied there is nobody better for the same price, then pay it.

The deal is already in place and Richo is going to pick it up …it doesn’t matter what we think

Correct.
Will we be a realistic chance of winning the Premiership in 2027 based on our current trajectory including recruitment and retention is the question ?

How is that relevant to Bula?

He is not seeking to renegotiate his contract!

Bullshit - that is not what you have been banging on about ad nauseum!

You have declared Bula an "average / run-of-the-mill" player who is not worthy of the ratchet clauses in his contract...

Just STFU and take the loss!

This is the Bula thread in which you have made more posts than any other user - and the context of the cap discussion was entirely whether Bula's contract was fair value... FMD

Are you expecting to win the Premiership in 2027, or just happy with possibly making the top 9 ?
It’s not a trick question.

You think it is, end of story.

I'm not expecting to win the premiership any year (only a moron would "expect" a premiership) - but with further improvements to the roster we should be top 4-6 competitive by 2027!

Fullback is a position of strength though - with quality and depth!
