OFFICIAL Jahream Bula #269

Jedi_Tiger said:
some media outlet came out with something that we were looking at Sloane, not sure if it was Riccio, all with a grain of salt with what you get from the media though.
do you want a player here that doesnt want to be here, if he signs elsewhere for 2028.. not sure

Keon is doing it at souths.
Haas at the broncos.
Not everyone is a crying little [This word has been automatically removed] like LG.

say Bula comes out and says he is going to the dogs for 2028, I doubt Benji keeps him here for 2027, he would look to use the cash for someone else.
That is probably why we have apparently been in discussion with tyrell Sloane from dragons.
Who knows he might be a stop gap for a year until maybe Attard is ready or someone else comes on the market. Or does the club look at a will Kennedy

Sloane wouldn't even make Flegg at WT

If he doesn’t extend this year , then he is as good as gone come 2028 …I doubt they will even bother to put in another offer …

Not sure..our club option is so ridiculously expensive theres no downside to Bula to take it up..except Moses mite not get his cut..
So for WTs..we get a good but not great fullback for another season and time /space to develop or recruit his replacement
So for Bula...with the option he gets another 12 months to enhance his market value
Having said all that .Drinkwater's $1mill /yr sets a new market,as will Bears and PNG when theyre all desperate for marques in spine positions
Moses wont make life simple.and theres a disadvantage in staying with him
Complex huh?

No and no….spoken to him twice over 2 months only…so no…..

No wonder so many on here with inside info can’t be bothered sharing anymore…

It wasnt a personal attack. I was merely pointing out that your source has nothing to do with contract negotiations at the club.

My family member led a corporate team at an NRL club for quite some time. He played up to it, often pretending he knew things based on whispers, when in reality he wasnt privy to those private conversations.

Ill apologise if I am wrong.
 
People generally don't tend to say bad things about Benji or cross him in any way. Media loves him and most lose the media battle against him.

I doubt Bula will do anything to hurt Benji.

Ridiculously expensive ? the market is the market … there is no way if you were Bula … you would be accepting much less( if anything less ) than Drinkwater .., Bula has considerably more upside than 30 yr old Drinkwater next year and over the next three years

Yes … we take up the one year option for Bula.. who is the better alternative for 2027 ? The deal with his existing contract will be “reworked” in a way that Moses will get his cut .. I have no doubt about that … anyway that’s not the clubs problem if the old agent comes back at Moses

I expect Bula to sign a deal elsewhere this offseason for 2028… he will be a free agent November 1 … Our club has put their best deal forward already and that has been rejected by him

I would not bend the salary cap out of shape just for Bula if he doesn't want what we are offering good luck to him elsewhere

Perth and the DragQueens would pay alot more then us

Drinkwaters price is a bit of a game chnger tbh,albeit from a very desperate club
I rate them about equal....so our alleged $850k long term probably aint enuff to incentivise him to sign
 
Joey Manu as far as I know is signed for this season to play Yawnion but as far as I know is free to play rugby league next year, turns 30 mid year.

I wonder what sort of money and length of deal he would be willing to accept to play full back.

I think he could be a great proposition for a couple of years, but would most likely want a long deal and pretty big dollars.

Three desperate clubs around really …Dragons, PNG and Perth …

I would always take the younger guy if they were equal
