Have they officially released him yet? I haven’t seen anything. Not arguing that he’s not being released. He definitely is. But what’s the hold up? BBC have reported he’s signed with Leeds.

We're still waiting for Jock Madden to be added to the website player profiles, still waiting on NSW Cup & Jersey Flegg final squads, still waiting on the new make-up of our Board ... we'll probably hear about Bird mid-season!Have they officially released him yet?

I actually thought he was already over there… but perhaps I was mistaken about that given the team he is joining is in Vegas now …
This story indicates he has signed there in the past tense and it’s 10 days old…

I thought that a couple of weeks back … wouldn’t rule it out…
Mightn’t be a bad result for us … keep Bula another two years only, and perhaps a younger, cheaper guy might be ready to step up by 2028?

When's Bula signed to? Can't we wait on signing him, he can answer a few important questions this year and if he does, then there's no problem giving him the big bucks.
And there might be other options that appear, so no rush. If he signs somewhere else then 'all the best'

Young Isdale outstanding in Matt’s today. Obviously a long way to go but was papenhausen flashbacks for me .
Brookes and Edward’s look promising. Would like to keep bula but it’s a risk if he wants too much of the cap for too long a contract term. Was horrified at the thought of losing him initially, but I think we will have another fullback roll off the production line if he doesn’t want to buy in and be part of our long term tribe then so be it .
I think it's interesting that the club hasn't announced anything about Bird. I think it will tie in to Bula staying
Been absolutely nothing in the papers about Bula's negotiations. Normally when a tigers player actually wants out, there's a constant stream of articles about where he might end up.
I still think he stays. Can't be too far off getting a deal done now

I think that's the huge question here...
How replaceable is Bula?
Daine Laurie, I liked him. Clearly Bula was a massive upgrade and he needed to go. We could pick a fullback like Daine up fairly easily (I suspect he is a better 5/8).
Bula does seem better then the average bear.. Not the average Fullback, but as far as NRL players he has a bit of X-Factor too him. Can cross the line. Can't read that well defensively... He is rather replaceable.
Some positions are super hard to replace. Halfback for instance, while 5/8 is far easier to fill in. I reckon top quality centers are hard to find as well.
Don't really want to loose Bula, but he isn't KEY to our side.
if and its a big IF,think St G will put up big $s and a ride in a chopper
There is no rush, Bula /moses have all the time in the world to work it out
its only the goldfish running out of oxygen in confined spaces that want a done deal ,yesterday
WA n PNG would be stupid if they didn't ask, plenty to play out yet

Personally I think it’s far too early in the season to either write him off - he’s played 40 minutes. I think he’s a great talent with some clear flaws. His defence isn’t good enough at times. But still, he has a stack of talent. I’d love for him to stay but I don’t want to break the bank doing it.

Basically how I feel, though it is clear to see the difference Jahream brings to our side, and especially the lack of it when he is out. Unless a new deal is done or Benji definitely wants to keep him long term, just give him the already agreed $900k option and worry about the rest later for mine.
disagree , Bula has been pampered since he got here Was given plenty of time to just stand on the try line ( i tell no lie } to learn the game ,blah blah . Edumicated on finding a voice ,to the extent that the media started barking wondering wtf is going on
The lad needs to show some respect .Imho he is still timid
has Bula really scored that - who you tlking about Willis

Bula did 8 tries for 18 games in 2025
2024 he was scoring far better, a try every 2 games.
