OFFICIAL Jahream Bula #269

I honestly scratch my head when people talk about Galvin saying he going to be amazing but Sharpe is a better player already both the mullet boys at Newcastle are
Propaganda. Comes down to who your connections are. As well as playing for a Sydney club. Ethan Strange is another one who deserves more attention, but again, he plays for the Raiders. Who cares about them. Whereas Galvin is at a glamour club with one of the most influential managers in the game. Fortunately there are enough holes in his game that people are seeing through the facade.
 
So another contract up at the end of 27. Who was the genius who set it up so the core of our squad all came off contract at the same time? Morons.
Their managers . That’s when the rights go up for a predicted minimum 20%which means a 12 mil cap goes to 15 mil , so a 1 mil player becomes a 1.2 m player .
So thier 6% , so 60k becomes 75k
 
I will say this . If Bula does end up at Belmore ,Burton is definitely playing 6 for the bears .
they will offload Tracey to bears, think they would want to keep Burton (has a contract until end of 2027 i think) play him and critter in centres.
They dont have any front row or hooker however so will not matter
 
It’s probably just a play to drive up his contract value. Get the info out there. Freak the tigers out into making an impulsive decision whilst they are dealing with the news of jarome leaving.
I’ve wondered for a while if his camp and the club are in a battle of who blinks first. Will the club cave at the 11th and decide to pay him 900k. Especially after Luai. It’s going to look poor if we lose both those guys in the space of two or three weeks.

I dont see a scenario where he isnt here next year. Benji wants to keep him, so if push comes to shove I think the club make a move. I'd be suprised and disappointed if they didnt. If we go on to make the top 4 and dogs dont make the 8, then the real worry would be PNG - which I could live with.. just not the doggies!
 
Whatever happens, I hope we at least have him for 2027. I wouldn't say we have a premiership window open - we definitely have a finals window open - but it probably shuts if he leaves after this season.

Jack Attard in our reserves looks very promising, but his defence is below even Scott Drinkwater level. Another year in reserve grade would do him the world of good. If he was our fullback next year, gee we would be in trouble. There are a few players off contract at the end of 2027 who could be good options too.
 
90% of the players in the league. Any agent would do the same its a new tv deal and increase is substantial.
There is talk the new TV deal might not be the bonanza they were expecting. Most Tv and streaming companies get a fair chunk of their revenue from betting companies and there are new laws in place and others in the pipeline that will restrict these companies and how and when they advertise.

With the ratings the NRL are getting at present you would imagine they will still be able to broker a good outcome, but the gambling industry is a big part of their revenue stream
