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.GETTY
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.GETTY IMAGES
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.
we cant all be monday quarterbacks like you mate, great way to stop people posting any info they get mate,
the i told you so moment.
People ony say what they hear at the time,
you would prefer nobody post any info.
if they sign bula for the right cash then great deal, suspect it would very close to 1 million plus
I don't doubt those that heard he agreed to go to the dogs. Probably did. Things change. Was he ever leaving? I doubt it, not while the money was close.
I particularly like the comments about Isaac Moses,
"But Moses has shown maturity and professionalism to do what he usually does – put his client first."
Yeah, he would definitely be getting a cut. He was never going to miss out.
Weidler chowing down on Gould's todger even more than usual today.

Totally embarrassing garbage of an article. Posters here have continuously called out the toxic swamp the player agent/journalist manipulation racket is. Add in the pro Gould propaganda in this same article. As if we cannot see a jouno revision of the agent's dubious reputation, in the same article as the agent is leaking on the club.Just shows you what a tosser Moses is leaking the story to a fellow grub in Danny the Weazel. Surly the club deserves the right to break the news being the ones paying the cash.
Was getting my head around having a new no1, but I guess it’s good news unless we have broken the bank
The comment about Gould was interesting too. Moses drafted that whole article. So transparent.‘But Moses has shown maturity and professionalism to do what he usually does – put his client first.’
This line alone should prove it’s all true and has been deliberately leaked by Moses to Weidler

I post what I know, you seemed to be the only person really bothered by this... I'm not answerable to you.Mate …There is a difference between posting a rumour , and providing a running commentary on it … ( I’ve spoken to the NRL player for the fourth week in a row and he is still adamant Bula is joining the Dogs ) comes across to me as a little attention seeking particularly when no further context is provided about the source - this doesn’t have to involve naming the guy … just how he might be connected to the story …and the updates
Anyway .., what do you think now about this guy leading you along? Like I said to you previously ., he has likely been winding you up
you would know... Give me contextSome people seemed to think that Moses missing out on his commission was the clubs problem ? Probably provided leverage for the club to get a new deal done at the end of the day
