OFFICIAL Jahream Bula #269

Shane Flanagan and Cameron Ciraldo both like players who play with high energy and run the ball hard.
Not sure Jahream fits into their desired player criteria and there is no way possible either of them are offering him a long term deal on big money.
I reckon we could lowball him and get him for 600k if we wanted to.
I agree with this...I dont think Bula is a good fit for the way the Dogs and Dragons play and I don't think either of them need a $900k FB. Connor Tracey is doing a good job at the Dogs and i dont think Bula will be the x factor player they need to create some variety in their attack. Dragons really need a couple of decent halves and will need to replace their aging fleet of players. Gutho has fallen off a cliff, however Bula at his best would not cover the holes they have in attack. If either of them could get him for $700k than perhaps its worth a punt however at $850k+ its just crazy money.
 
At this stage can anyone on here honestly say they watch our games and expect Bula to create something out of nothing, the way 15 other fullbacks in the comp. do?
Did anyone expect him to come up with the winning play on Saturday when he was needed?
He's not a spine player, he can't create, throw him in the centres , the wing, or piss him off.
We'll never go anywhere with him weighing the team down.
We lost those days when Benji retired.
We have zero players who can make Magic happen.
We have Api who is a 110% effort player but other than that, our players couldn’t threaten anyone’s defence
 
This does my head in him getting 90% thru thu line and just getting caught...happens.so so often

I posted about this at the end of last season...he seems to lack the core strength through his hips and torso to break try's. He seems to get tackled with the slightest contact. He actually finds the space between players, however very rarely makes it past contact.
 
It’s not a conspiracy … he’s negotiating now so Moses can get paid . Other clubs can’t legally look at him until we say we arnt picking up his option . I say 25 year old Bula isn’t missing out on much if the club picks up his 800k-900k option . The club isn’t missing much if it picks up the option . They would have a good idea if he intends to stay , either way they buy themselves time , as competing with Papua New Guinea will force some of the dumber clubs who are way more desperate like the dragons into giving Bula 1.1m . If Kennedy is worth 750k , and so is Brimson , then so is Bula . Brimson is the one I’d be looking at for 2 years , if Moses pulls his usual bullshit to get Bula out early.
It’s not as pretty as the others Buti firmly believe Attard has a long career ahead of him , an people have slept on / forgotten how good Brimson is as he’s fallen down the pecking order to Kini and being used in the halves/centre . Drinkwater … if we had to . But man his defence is a joke . I wouldn’t even look at him because of it .
I like the look of Logan Brookes
 
We’re in a really weak era as far fullbacks go imo. There are a few great ones, but there are many more average ones.

I cld name 10 good or better fullbacks that wld do ok in any era..but Bula isnt one of them
Which is why we wont be paying him $900k or more next year
Maybe Gus can do something with him..Benji has had several years,and hes still just average
 
Slater is like the best fullback in the past 20 years … we would all like he next one of him …

I don’t know about Bula man … I liked him a lot, but starting to reconsider that … and I’m not just talking about him deliberately playing poor to get out the club , before anyone brings up that conspiracy theory …it’s something that goes back a while now ..

I just not sure he is the right style of player for us, and I think the money rumoured to be offered is overs
The only thing I think he lacks is confidence/aggression. He's a bit meek.

Hopefully that changes.

Is Bula the Luke Brooks of Fullbacks?

I hate to say it but warming to the idea of picking up Xerri Playing Tino at fullback also getting Connor Tracy

Tracy played lower grades in the half's played on the wing at Cronulla in first grade and got converted into a fullback at Canterbury great all rounder
 
I watched Gutho yesterday-he never stops .The amount of work he gets through in attack is amazing. He is the one Bula should copy.


He had a great game I honestly think he has improved with growing the hair back looks younger and faster and went he runs it just flow's he doesn't look broken at all
