Who knows mate ? The ratchets is the biggest issue for me ..particularly with what he is starting out on … What are your other concerns …get out clauses after Year 2.? Might work out ok if one of the young guys is up to it by then?

I don’t care what the clauses are. I just want transparency about them from the get go.

You joke about this, but you wonder how much this might have weighed on his mind. If the Dogs were flying this year, he might have split. But they are going backwards. There’s not much appeal of choosing them over us.

Seem to remember you ridiculing the idea that he might be waiting to see how the first few rounds went before making his decision GNR??

Stoked with this re-signing. Lets hope the ratchets are reasonable. Sky is the limit for Bula and we are a much better side with him on the field.

My understanding is that these are percentage based right … so these could be considerable if the salary cap is going up 20 percent +….

Anyhow…as you said …it’s the only way he was ever doing a long term deal right now

Yeah I can't claim to know the ins and out but i'm guessing the clause could be something like "matching the % increase in the cap" which would be significant if Bula is on around a million. Or maybe it is something more like "a % increase of the increase in cap", he gets a pay bump but not one that entirely matches the cap increase, which would be more reasonable.

It’s another one we will never know for sure …as I doubt either side is telling us … I ve said before thoogh… the time for Moses to do some skiting about the dollars he got was in his media puppet exclusive on Sunday ..and the dollars from that article appeared vague to me

It’s further complicated by the ratchet clause … if he is starting at over a million now on the cap ..than i would be unhappy…because that could be up 20-25 percent in 2028

The Drags are the most desperate team in the comp…probably would have paid $2million… not a good yardstick

its def more than a mill on the cap.

SM shat the bed when luai left..... IM got his money.

i said before that i am cousins with Roger Fabri - he told me a few weeks ago that we would have to pay that to keep him because of HBG and the december issue. and then the drags paying drinkwater didnt help.

The issue is -- with luai going -- HBG and SM think all they have to do is spread the luai money over keeping our current players.

i reckon bc of richo leaving and all this stuff dragging out - its probably cost us $500k-$600k more over the may brothers and bula. but HBG will claim victory bc of the resignings.

Yes ..that would be reasonable….

I’d be a little cynical though that Isaac would think that he is worth x.x % in 2027, but we will agree a lower percentage in 28-30….but yeah …I’m not gunna say it’s not possible ..

Hopefully there is a TPA to do some of the heavy lifting as well,,,

dude -- the articles say "north of a million"??

no contract is ever stated publicly including TPA's.

its always the contract value lol.

so the contract on the cap is over a mill.

and if you dont think we have paid more than youre not looking at the leverage we lost.

these have all been miraculously done wihtin a week after luai left. lol

which means that we were trying to negoatie before hand -- we couldnt close the gap -- then we basically gave the what they wanted bc everyone can say "we will wait for PNG now"

its logical

dont let the tigers fans rose clolored glasses cloud common sense.

I guess hes not to bothered about his wife being moved on.

I guess the music at training isnt that bad

Maybe those loose.lips at Belmore are part of their own problem

Damn Jaxon Purdue forced our hand

Glad we don't have to hear about Purdue being nine million times better than Bula every day now for at least a few years.

interesting Read on nrl360 last night said something about the deal looked like being off 2 weeks ago.
If that was the case fair chance Shaun has used a good chunk of Luai's salary to boost of Bula's considering even if he didnt sign he was getting 900k for 2027.
