OFFICIAL Jahream Bula #269

What would be the beef Gould has with the Tigers only, for him to be trying to do this all the time? There are plenty of even better players in the other 15 teams that he can go out and poach.
Its more about the fact we were both very ordinary 5 years ago, both started on a rebuild, he went a certain direction with Ciraldo and Kikau, Burton, Critta basically the cream of the Panthers coaches and team and we nabbed Korisau & Luai (the cream) and Turuva still very much a rookie and Staines NSW cup level. Also get truckloads of money from the CB club. Things looked good for the Dogs until the middle of last season and now for reasons nobody can put their finger on (screwing the team dynamic) they are no longer world beaters and their neighbours who had to dine on overpaid scraps from other rosters and their own owners are suddenly out performing them. It must be very embarrassing for a bloke that thinks he is smarter and better than everyone else. So he is emotionally invested in making sure that the Bulldogs are in a better position than we are as we are their only real direct comparison.
 
Gotta be going for either one of the Fletcher boys from Newcastle. Both will be gun fullbacks. Hunt available for season 28, so timeline aligns. Wouldn't mind a talented wild man at the back playing physical. Superb under the high ball.
Their second row forward, Jermaine McEwan, is a real prospect and the club should be chasing him.
 
Is Bula permitted to negotiate with other clubs now? If not, then this would be appear to be a breach.
Yep, unless he has our blessing, we'd have enough ammo to take down the dogs for anti-tampering. The comments from Gould on air alone, after he had warnings on galvin, are enough to run with.
 
Showing nowhere near the skills that Benji was displaying at an even earlier age when he was having shoulder problems.

Bula is really rolling the dice by not securing a long term future as soon as possible because these injuries could severely affect his value or even end his playing career.

You would hope this is not all because of Isaac Moses stubborness and greed.
I don't know why players haven't woken up to this guy, surely they will one day, I know when it finally happens fans and clubs will rejoice.
 
@Lestronge what are your thoughts on how Burton would go as a fullback ?
He’s tall, fit, fast, a very dangerous ball runner, a strong defender, has the added benefit of a kicking game and would only need to brush up on his positioning and catching high balls under pressure.
I reckon he would be a gun fullback if given the opportunity.
It's an interesting idea V especially if Bula was to leave to the dogs, potential swap.

Trouble is if you are paying fullback money for an experiment and he fails, you end up with a dog's dilemma with what to do with a highly paid player.

I think Burton would make a good fullback if we could do a swap
 
I reckon Bula’s career goes down the toilet if he goes to the Dogs. They have such a slow team with a few players on the nose. Ciraldo needs to get the team going again soon otherwise he might be on the chopping block aswell. If he stays here he is only going to get better, and gets the satisfaction of taking a struggling club to the top

These days your fullback has to be super fit, fast, agile, ball play, defuse high bomb, cover short kicks and run a half marathon every week. Burton probably only ticks half those boxes. It’s why Mitchell struggled at no1.

I would take Burton but not as a no1

That's the problem, if he fails where do you play him, he would be too highly paid for the centres and we don't look to need him in the halves.

Good player, but what position could he be of benefit to our team if he sucks at fullback.

he will stand out in that team, he is miles better than Tracey as a fullback

They are slow which is why they want Bula
