I think your frustration should be directed to the constant that makes players think twice about committing to this club.
We lose the players and keep the people who scare them off.
Losing quality players doesn't attract others - the complete opposite.

The WTs were reportedly negotiating a new contract with different terms.. Until that was sorted there was no signing on the dotted line.
The curve ball no doubt has stalled everything.
People overlook the quality of the human - he is the type of person coaches want to coach. He has a ton of natural talent and hasn't come close to reaching his ceiling. Of course Flannagan would be interested with an aging FB in his team.
Bula doesn't have to start in career best form to garner interest from elsewhere he already has it - factors in play - money and career progression. Negotiations have stalled for a reason/s
He is not a single entity in this he has a manager who will be currently speaking to other clubs...
A bit like when they start at a new club and say it's the toughest preseason training they have had. Yet to hear a player who says anything but - standard response.
Flannagan made us look like fools when he took Fifita off us.
Bula is a quality human and a player with untapped ability no surprises that he sees another opportunity to strike when the club is looking like a basket case again
Bula is not at fault for stalling the negotiation process.
Forcing him to make a decision based on the clubs poor decision making would be dumb as. It's perfectly understandable for his people to sit back and see what is actually happening at board level before committing.
I reckon his kicking game in those last few rounds was valuable to the attacking options. He has got a good bomb in him which all squads need to be able to utilise at different times. Defensively also showed good physicality at the backend of the season and is definitely less exposed than...
Even more so their managers are the ones that are acting in their "best " interest as far as negotiating goes. And let's face it the perception around the club off the field leaves a lot to be desired despite any bonding the players may or may not have with each other and the coach.
Douehi's best games were at 7 later in the season when there were little options and once there he stayed put because there was little else to choose from.
Latu constantly injured, Mason and Api didn't work and Luai better at 6.
Galvin leaving left a gap that wasn't easily filled and walked...
Picking a scapegoat is a useless exercise at a club that has failed for years and has a line up of scapegoats with little to show for it
Crazy that the latest one actually made some improvements and was pushed out anyway.
We are not good enough no argument there but the club falls down in every...
Galvin leaving wasn't the only issue they couldn't keep halves combo on the field consistently after he left. Trying to form a combination that worked was the challenge. Latu getting injured all the time, trying to decipher where to play Douehi - I think it's fair to say most people wanted to...
