Jahream Bula #269

Did your Canterbury mate tell you this ., or is this part speculation on your behalf ?

The dude is a fullback … is he a better Center than Xerri ? Who knows ? Does Gus and Ciraldo take that risk?

He Could have also gone to the Bears on big money to pay FB

The logic isn’t adding up
Gus and Ciraldo - Tracey you will be our fullback

sign Bula

Gus and Ciraldo - oh Tracey about that... we have signed Bula we will look to play you on wing or backup fullback etc.

Dogs have a history of signing players then getting releases for them. I am sure when they sign Bula and tell Tracey he is free to negotiate with other clubs then perth and png and dragons etc will come calling.

I am really hoping Bula stays however what I have heard is dogs up until last week (after parramatta game) at least were super keen on bula.

That’s what I’ve been trying to say, yet continually get shot down…

some on here though Galvin wouldn't leave, Pappa Galvin and Manager were looking for an out before his debut.

I know bula is a different character however that doesnt stop managers looking around for client. At the end of the day bula might be a fantastic bloke however HE chose to go with Moses and with that comes a manager who is the best at getting the best deal for his players.

I dont know anyone at the dogs I am going by what a player has told me at present what he has heard. Given I have had radio silence from him on this since the Parramatta game is hopefully a good thing for tigers and bula staying, but the player was so confident bula would be belmore bound I have my doubts

if it’s all about the deal ..: Why are the Tigers getting outbid by the Bulldogs ? Especially after they have already paid Treacy as “back up”at the position …how much money do they want to invest in the position

Can you try to answer without referring to Galvin … different people and circumstances
 
Then he isn’t going anywhere

We will probably sign him for 850-900k which is probably slight overs

$900-950

An extension seems to be the logical decision … surprised the deal hasn’t been announced yet though …

Guess they are taking up the option otherwise … if that happens then he is definitely gone in 2028

as i have said before I dont know re the money side of things of the offer. I have never claimed to know about money on offer.
What i have said is the dogs are very keen on bula at least up until after the Parramatta game that is what I have heard.
Who knows bula's motive perhaps it is more cash or playing with galvin or coached by ciraldo i dont know. What i do know is a deal still has not been done with tigers as yet.
When i asked the player last week (which i posted and you made a smart comment back to it referring to the other posters comment about some dogs connection) i hear tracey is signing with the dogs he said so what players sign and get moved on from there all the time.
agree with you how much money do they want to spend at fullback who knows perhaps they get the feeling Burton is leaving...

it sounds like you would prefer nobody says anything other than bula is staying at tigers.

so you feel better i am sure bula is staying at tigers ...

Mate .., you are the one saying you have heard he is going…I think I’m entitled to ask you about it considering he is one of our better players ..

You are anonymous and can say WTF you want at the end of the day …with pretty much zero repercussions if you are wrong

I have no inside word … I just struggle why they would re- sign Tracey if Bula is going there …

Perhaps Tracey will be the cover for 2027 when the Tigers pick up the option and the Bulldogs can move him on in 2028

and I post what I know, so no point asking me anything else on it mate otherwise I would post it.
I am not bula and I dont know what he or his manager are thinking and I am not connected to dogs so I dont know what they are thinking.
I have no reason to push bula going, I dont want him to.

I am hoping like you that signing Tracey means he is not leaving.

Fair enough … and I want you to post what you have heard …

I’m asking questions that I don’t necessarily expect you to have the answers too.. maybe someone else does
 
The NRL are as weak as - haven't got the balls to tell Gus to pull his head in. Why bother creating an anti tampering rule for commentators involved with NRL clubs if your just going to let them quite openly continue to build players egos.
The thing is Gus is a commentator and he can say whatever he likes assuming he is not currently campaigning to sign the player. According to Bula's current contract status he cannot negotiate with other teams until after June so in theory Gus is not able to talk to him. Now if he was talking to his manager and enquiring on contract status than that is above board however would contravene the new anti tampering laws because of Gus' commentary gig. So either Gus is not interested in Bula and therefore saying what he likes, or he doesn't give a shit and knows the NRL are spineless when it comes to dealing with him. either way he is kicking the hornets nest on this one, especially if Bula ends up at the dogs.

Everyone is saying he chose Moses, what happened back in the Sheens days is Bula's manager took a gig with the Dogs and all his contracted players were shifted across to Moses' agency. Yes Bula could have said no and gone elsewhere, however this was back when the Isaac Moses Benji issue was not a problem as Sheens was in charge. Yes he could have moved agents when the whole Benji thing blew up, however from what I have seen changing agents is actually a long and convoluted process. Took Luai almost a year to change his one. The player has to pay out the remainder of his current contract commission and then has to pick up an agent that is willing to do it for free until he gets to sign a new contract with the client or double pay commission to the new agent.
 
There's also the issue that his old agent has stated that if there's a deal for 2027 then he believes he should still get his cut. This isn't as simple as an extension. Details are being ironed out, discussions are happening and it's being sorted.
