Jahream Bula #269

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

He'll look great in some space.

Time for hin to realise his potential.
Could be one of the best fullbacks in the game.

Wonder if Gus has ever met him.

All I want to see ATM is the announcement that he has extended.
He is a must

Hear hear!

He will.

This is one player who I am prepared to make that 'prediction' about!

Bula putting in the work with sprint coach Roger Fabri.

Good work.

Fabri is an excellent judge of athletic talent.

It might just be the off season talking but this is enough to convince me that 2026 Jaream is in line in for an origin debut on the sting and cracking the top 5 fullbacks... take it to the bank!

He's a Queenslander, isn't he? 😉

Not sure even he knows the answer to that

He said last year "i dont claim to be a maroon, im eligible but i dont want to play for qld, my family are Koori - theyre from Coffs and Macksville area - ive always gone for NSW"...

Maybe he wont be playing origin! He might regret those comments one day

Reflects his character, the kid is not a gun for hire. His heart is with NSW and he stands by that, even if it costs him the glory and $$ of origin. That's why he will stay with the Tigers if they treat him the right way.

Really cool to see that - and so good to see Fabri is impressed so early on into working with him.

Jahream is absolutely vital, can't overstate his importance to our side enough.

Wonder if Bula or the club instigated it.
Either way very smart move by Bula.

Coming into a contract term, improve his acceleration on top of his skill set already and his price sky rockets.

Luke Keary said the same thing then eventually broke and played a game for NSW.

Benji went to Keebra

Need to sort his contract out and get him locked up so future Signings can see the quality the Wests Tigers have for coming years , it’s a good part of the player who may want to come over knowing who we have that are talented , Bulla fits the bill along with KPP , May brothers , Turuva , Sam F , Sione F , Luai , and the young guys on the verge of first grade

This popped up on my YouTube
Didn't realise bula was a product of keebra and played with Walsh

Plenty of media on him today - I thought there were multiple options in the contract? I really don’t want to lose him. If we could get a full season out of him our chances of making finals increases

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Looks like Bula is heading for the exit door

Hes definitely contracted next year...and thought we had a club option for $900k for 2027(he has a player option for $800k)?
Both are above the market for a fullback thats not in the top 10 in the NRL..but we dont have many options,and he does have some upside.
So Id pay it...but start planning for 2028,which buys us time(and alternatives)
His manager is Moses...and last thing we need is another IM shit show..which never ends well for us
And btw..no doubt IM is pulling the strings here..Id let the other IM managed player(kid actually) Phoenix Godinet go in a heartbeat,regardless of his potential..
we simply cant work with Moses who will waste our investment
Walk away

Based on what?
Nrl journos looking for content now the seasons over? Lol

Based on a long history with Moses managed players
Not only do we lose the talent weve heavily invested in,but its inevitably highly destabilising
Need to get on the front foot and be proactive
The kid will either sign or he wont..like always they wont per advice and..
