The NRL provides grants to the clubs that are 130% of the value of the salary cap to allow the clubs to pay the players plus some left over money for admin etc. Thus, the NRL does not directly pay the players.

The option arrangement was done by Bula’s previous manager, Liam Ayoub. When Liam Ayoub became the Bulldogs recruitment manager, Bula went to Isaac Moses. It would be in Isaac Moses’ interest to do a new deal for Bula (i.e. not the option) to get commission. Moses would not be entitled to any...

I think it’s already done. Was a photo of him out there posted on here recently.
