Latrell
Critter
tayllan May

AD on bench
 
Before Luai announced he was leaving I I honestly thought Javon Andrews would be a great option at fullback. He has the right frame and is a great ball runner and can pass. Also wouldnt do as much defense at the back. With Luai leaving it complicates things as you need some experience in the spine but I think Andrews at fullback and Fainu at 5/8 would still work

Good option, u would keep Bula for another season then switch Andrew’s to fullback in KOE next season, to see if he can adapt.

Gun Wests Tigers fullback Jahream Bula has ended months of speculation about his future and agreed on a multimillion-dollar deal to remain at the club long term.

Bula is one of the game’s rising superstars and has been on the radar of a number of clubs, but this column has learned he has settled his future. An announcement is expected this week.

Jahream Bula is set to stay put at the Tigers.

Just days after the club had to deal with the news that their spiritual leader Jarome Luai would join the PNG Chiefs from 2028, the Tigers have pulled off a significant coup by convincing their most exciting young player to commit to the club.

Tigers insiders say the deal will lock down the 24-year-old for several more years. It’s been described as a mega deal, and it shows great leadership by the Tigers, who have often been criticised as dysfunctional.

There had been fears Bula was heading for the exit because he was managed by Isaac Moses.

The conspiracy was that Moses wouldn’t sign him with the Tigers because of a strained relationship with coach Benji Marshall. But Moses has shown maturity and professionalism to do what he usually does – put his client first. The agent has also previously done a deal for Adam Doueihi at the Tigers.

Jahream Bula has been among the Tigers’ best this season.

The club has been keen to lock down Bula in light of misplaced hysteria around Bulldogs general manager Phil Gould showing interest in the fullback.

The Dogs have made no attempt to sign him, but the reaction to Gould’s praise for Bula during commentary for Nine was amusing to observe.

Gould’s description of Bula as “creamy” had some thinking Bula was being wooed by the Dogs in the way they perceived Lachlan Galvin had been.

And while Galvin did eventually leave the Tigers for the Bulldogs, in both instances there was nothing in Gould’s comments other than him being the brilliant TV commentator that he is.

The money freed up by Luai’s departure was helpful for the Tigers in retaining Bula. It has been a great comeback by club management, who also convinced Terrell and Taylan May to re-sign, after losing Luai.
 
Good news I guess but I hope it's not for ridiculous money. He's part of the close knit brotherhood at the Tigers but I also wonder what it means to a rising star like Brookes.
 
To all the people here that heard from club insiders at the Bulldogs, NRL players, guys at the local pub,or personally from Phil Gould that he was leaving ,,, what are they saying now ? Couple of you were adamant …it’s like my grandmother used to say,,.don’t believe everything you hear and only half of what you see..

Anyway …looks like he is staying, for “several more years “…

I’ve said this several times during the process …I view him as above average for the position, but not elite …. But let’s hope he is good enough
 
Good news. I wonder what new clauses are in this contract that they won’t tell us about that will leak one or two years down the track.

Would be at least 3 years. Maybe 4.
