Why would Makasini want to sign a contract extension for 2028 and beyond at this point? What incentive is there?

That’s an indirect acknowledgement that he won’t be staying.

 

[Betterdays22]

Tbh we as a fanbase need to accept that he will be going back to Rugby at some point.

Hopefully after he has "ticked" off the things he wants to do in league (preferably with us)

 

[Betterdays22]

That’s an indirect acknowledgement that he won’t be staying.

No, its not. Its an acknowledgement that he might want to keep some options open regarding where he wants to play but also contract length and amount. I think most would do the same. You're not usually this reactionary GNR

How many 18 years who have played one game, turn down million dollar contract extensions if they aren’t looking to leave. Call me crazy, but I feel like we went through this same situation not even a year ago.

He hasn’t declined it yet. Mole reported that. If anyone else does it’s believable

Well, if he does decline it, it’s not looking good.

Agree

Ok so what would you be willing to offer him for the next 5 years?

 

[Tiger Stripes]

More and more with time, I think Bula is going:

Dragons look to move on Bula as Gutherson's predecessor

The Tigers will sit down with Bula within the next month to discuss his future.

That being the case, we've been flogging a dead horse for some time now. Moses BS stringing us along?
But Bula going along with it says a lot about Bula as well, "sorry guys, I'm worth more money" bye byes.
Dollars rule over mates and WT.
I know Benji needs to keep winning, but I certainly would be tempted to drop Bula to Reggies ASAP and promote Attard ASAP.

What ? If he kills it this year his value goes from highly paid amazing junior with extremely talent , too superstar centre on top coin .
Only the dumbest , greediest manager in the world would tell thier kid to take the extension right now . Stop perpetuating shit … ffs

Its particularly pessimistic, even by GNRs standards

His manager and family have a great relationship with the club . The young players we need to be concerned about are obviously Bula and Phoenix Godinet .
isaac Moses clients , the Orr brothers and tyran smith clients . That’s where we have issues

 

[Tiger Stripes]

BS.
It's acknowledgement he is not an idiot. No need to look into crystal ball.
Plenty of time to see how he develops for a more accurate assessment of his worth.
Instead of guessing and speculation what his future may be.
Any player at his age and potential would do the same.

If he turns down a near million dollar a season offer at 18, he has grander plans. Would have thought some of you would have learned how to read the signs after last year. Apparently not.

Are you just making up things? Judging from the article that was written in the DT it doesn't even seem like a contract extension has been offered let alone one close to a million dollars

 

[Tom Shines]

When have any of these long, drawn out contract negotiations ever resulted in a player re-signing? It doesn’t happen. Makasini will be next. He’s already declined a contract extension. The only players willing to play their career entire here are guys like Twal.

Good players are in demand .. when did that start ?

So we can believe that one can we?

If he turns it down so be it .. what would you suggest they do otherwise ?
