Go to 1:22 to see his try. As Blocker always says, "the kid can play!"
I've always preferred Junior Tupou as a prospect personally, as I find Bula has a lot more errors and positional deficiencies.
BUT, Bula's ball-running is electric when he's on, very smooth mover.
Glides a bit like the Hammer when he finds some space.

Good luck to him.

A huge positive about him being shuffled into the backline somewhere is that it means Nofoaluma is further away from ever again disgracing the club with his presence in first grade. He needs to be shipped off to another club immediately, for free if need be.

Oh God... JAC flashbacks. The halves aren't really that great at putting people through gaps...
Very excited to see how he goes after all I've read here.
I do agree a few weeks on the wing with Staines at 1 would've been my move, but hope he carves it up.

That is my take also - Staines played really well last game yet the coaching staff are saying to him thanks but no thanks - Staines only on a 1 year contract and will most likely leave if keeps being treated like this.
I have zero faith in this coaching set up.

He looked like he was in slow motion for some reason, hopefully that means he was just in first gear 😉

That's what I have been wanting to have happen for Staines, but still waiting.
I have a couple of questions about Bula's selection this week and they are:
Did we get some sort of dispensation from the NRL to be able to play Bula before round 11, and if so, on what grounds?
OR
Has he been promoted to the top 30? If that is the case I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere?
Good luck to him but I would imagine that Staines would have to be pretty frustrated not getting much of a chance to cement his spot at full back, and this constant chopping and changing of the spine is getting to be a bit of a joke.

So you're saying the tigers need their halves to create all their tries then?

Also notice in those highlights he's always around the ball in just about all those trys.

Has tons of athleticism and talent....
BUT...he is dramatically inexperienced, barely played 2 games in State Cup...AND been out injured the past month.
I.e. no match fitness.
And we are going to throw him in v DCE, who has possibly the best kicking game in the comp.
Hell of a debut for the kid. The deepest of deep ends.
