This is Galvin all over again. Bury him State Cup and bring in Attard.

No bullying or Instagram posts this time boys.

The junior coaches at the cowboys labelled JP the next big thing at 16. Can kick both feet great in general play. Good gk he will be a gun

I’d be talking to barber then, much better than Bula

Is anyone like me and is actually getting pretty bored with the daily Bula contract insights?

I don't think Ben Te'o will be an Origin coach. Maybe assistant for QLD, but a lot of people lining up for that role and Billy Slater will know who to pick.

You might have missed the bit where Te'o was recommended for the role to replace Hannay
- By Hannay.
Talked to Brisbane about it and Madge knocked it back.

If I had money to bet, The odds would be better for Te'o running Water in this years origin than not.

Mason barber looks very Kalyn Ponga like when he runs the ball, does he have much of a passing game as I see he’s been playing centre in Qld Cup ?
Very important that modern day fullbacks have ball playing ability.

I can’t like that post Demps. The guy has been top class his whole career and if ya ever gunna throw a retirement deal at a player RTS is it I reckon. There would be nothing detrimental about having him at ya club and I would find out what he wants to do in football afterwards and facilitate his transition.

Yep and I don’t know why we have to get so cut up when someone signs elsewhere? If a player does so be it, he still has a contract here and until that runs out I expect him to play to his best and we pick our best each and every week. It’s called professionalism. You see it a lot outside of our organisation.

Just cut him off and let any other players know who have IM, that they are to change agent or will be released

 

[weststigers]

Can we legally say, we are offering you an extension, but only if you swap agents away from Moses when it's time to renew the agent agreement? If not, we say goodbye.

Dan Ginnane in contract negotiations.

Dan: Jahream...you need to change managers if you want that extension.

Bula: Nah...my manager is doing the best thing for me and my family.

Dan: well if not...GOODBYYYYE!

Attard isn’t ready unfortunately

What insights? No one knows a thing.

Tavana can't be far off. I'm interested to see what Benji does with him on Friday.

Think they see him as more of a winger

That's what I thought but he is on the Tigers "team list" page as a fullback.

 

[Moh]

Am I the only Madge sympathiser?

He won a premiership last season, regardless of what you think of how he won it. But there is always people/journo's after him.

I hate the he's too tough narrative.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

I wish he was given a go at fullback in the pre-season. In at least 2 games I've seen him play at fullback (trial last year v Dogs & Flegg), he looks very natural at the back. Obviously good in the air and whilst he doesn't have the explosive speed of some fullbacks, he has an uncanny ability to beat the 1st man with his feet. Silky passing skills too which haven't really been exposed in grade yet on the wing. I know Benji likes his fullbacks to have elite level cardio fitness so maybe this is an area Tino has to improve.

Perhaps I should correct that to read 'thoughts'!

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Disappointing but not suprising

Let's put all our coaching efforts on those from within -- Attard, Logan Brookes and Tavana.
While still seeing what falls from the tree.
Bula is signed for this year as a minimum. And if his form drops off dramatically its KOE until something is sorted out.
And no more repeats for Godinet please.

That message needs to be sent to the lower grade coaches.
Pick him and coach him at fullback if that's what we are looking for [assuming Attard is not quite in favour]. Put Attard on the wing so he can see what he isn't doing?

Fox Sports: It is understood that the Bulldogs remain heavily linked to Jahream Bula from the Wests Tigers and they may not decided to extend Tracey until they know the contract status of their potential transfer target.

Bula has until the middle of May to take up a player option in his contract, while the Tigers have until June to take up a club option.
