One great game and you guys are already saying he's leaving. Cmon guys, that's some serious sadsack behaviour. Have some faith. We have great management, with a partially independent board that also has the amazing HBG members in it. They will make sure things go smoothly and we have no more internal drama.

We never lose young talented juniors

If Bula is not done before rd 2 I agree we should start planning for life without him, we don’t need the contract dramas affecting another campaign.

True and Tino did a good job last year


But Bula is a much better fullback but he's had enough time to sign unless it's a problem with the board
 
Benji Marshall echoed those sentiments during his post-game interview, heaping praise on how Makasini has handled the pressure coming his way at a young age.

"I loved it," the Tigers coach said.

"He's put in the hard work this pre-season and for his age, he's really mature.

"It would be hard being that young and getting all the headlines and trying not to read into it too much, but I think he's done a really good job."

After starring in the pre-season, Makasini now appears to be a shoo-in to line up for the Tigers when their regular season kicks off in round two.

Co-captain Jarome Luai, who admittedly likes to keep a lid on things, couldn't hide his excitement when asked about the prodigious youngster.

"I'll give him his raps - I'm probably a guy not to give him his as many raps during the pre-season, I try to keep him grounded," he told Fox.

"But watching him in full flight out there and watching him run over some of my old teammates from Penrith, I was in awe."

Do yourselves a favour boys. Don’t get attached. It’s gonna be hard. Especially if he goes on a tear this year, wins rookie of the year and is considered the next big thing. Don’t get attached.

when people question his loyalty to the tigers, i direct them to his jersey presentation with his parents. he's a tiger through and through, you better believe it. look at how close knit the group is currently. and we've not even gone on a winning streak yet, imagine what they will be like when we're winning games.

Lovely. Let’s see how he goes when he has 10 clubs and Super Rugby chasing him.

Don't be a sad sack G, he might want to hang around with his bros, especially if they start to get that winning feeling.

In another 3 years or so, a million dollars will be standard for players of the calibre that he’s on the trajectory of being. You get thrown that sort of money and weigh it up playing with your mates and tell me what you’d value more.
 
All players move for money, even the one's who pretend it's to join a winning "culture".
Fair enough too, they're all only one major injury away from it all ending.
If you believe all the media guff about why players leave I've got a large bridge in Sydney to sell you.
