OFFICIAL Jahream Bula #269

[Garrry]

Wests Tiger's should still retain Logan Brookes like Richo would say you always need depth, look at Bula now is he out for 3 weeks or more??? Fullback wing or centre good future depth

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Weidler and Gould are both in the channel nine stable. So they both rely on each other heavily. Gould needs a person to sow his seeds and Danny boy needs a constant feed of headlines. Both are self pro

I agree but feel the influence of the two is on the wane.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

And Pat Richards, been in the job for a month or more now but it was only noted last week
Great work to all concerened.....talk about turning a negative into a massive positive

Richards imo has respect among the players and also in the NRL generally. Importantly, I feel he and Marshall work well together. They are in sync in a increasingly competitive market.

Here's a theory ... Luai's move has been on the cards all year and maybe longer. The bosses at WT knew about it but kept it under wraps until he signed. That opened the door for the Mays to re-sign and now Bula. No Moses conspiracy just smart leadership and cap smarts from Benji and co. What do you think?

I suggested basically the same thing earlier.
Its great work if true.
Basically all this news in under a week...cannot be coincidental.
Shows a professionalism not seen at the club for a long time if ever

Typical Danny Wanker exclusive. He will be zipping on his three layers of puffer jackets right now to interview Gus on Channel Nein so Gus can save face on losing out on Bula while something creamy drips off Danny's chin.

Anyone notice the magic word here: "But Moses has shown maturity and professionalism to do what he usually does – put his client first." Surely it is Isaac's job to always put his client first. What are you saying Danny?

Yep...someone.picked this up this morning
Truth slips.out sometimes
Dunny better get some more chapstik

One out of two ain’t bad Wiz … better than a lot of sources here 👍

I just pass on what I hear!

 

[You Know Who]

Makes Benji's response to Read earlier this week even better

 

[69-05-41]

Yep, mentioned the same thing, earlier in this thread. He looked totally at home in the preseason trial and has played a starring role in Flegg this year. Actually, I watched a highlights video of Brookes and he really looks like a potential gamebreaker. On top of that, he is a natural talker. All good things. It's be a great pity to lose him. Think he should be kept and developed as a potential winger or centre now that Bula has extended.

Here is a link to a Deed Poll application: https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/replace-a-change-of-name-certificate for Logan. Many of us are still on medication from the last L Brooks experiment. I know Brookes is spelt slightly differently but the PTSD is still very real.

I grew up reading the late Alan Clarkson’s columns in SMH. Wonderful journalist, accurate and honesty personified, popular with fans , players and officials.. The current group of journos need to have a good look at themselves, the less we talk about them the better. They do very little to enhance the game!!

 

[Garrry]

Weidler's column also sounds like a carefully written suck job to both gus and IM

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Makes Benji's response to Read earlier this week even better

Pretty obvious he knew what was coming hey, hence the smirk and crusty responses.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Weidler's column also sounds like a carefully written suck job to both gus and IM

I would question why it needed to be written?

 

[innsaneink]

Hey @Tom Shines
There was.plenty of time after all lol

I would question why it needed to be written?

To dilute our big news with the clubs official announcement
Petty

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

The months of speculation is bound to end for the 24-year-old.​

According to SMH, star fullback Bula has agreed to a multi-million dollar deal to remain at the club long term, ending months of fevered speculation about his future.

SMH has also reported that an official announcement is expected this week.

Club insiders told SMH the deal is a mega-deal spanning several more years, it represents a striking show of strength of the Tigers' management.

 

[weststigerman]

Great news. It means we have 3/4 of our spine locked up long term and the 6 looks to be between Javon and Latu.

It's decent coin, but there's no one equal or better available at the same price. Luai has done us a massive favour.

 

[Canadian Club]

Code sports article:

"The May brothers have both re-signed with the Tigers until the end of the 2030 season.

All three contracts involving the May brothers and Bula, which will tally up to $10 million by the time the contracts end, all have ratchet clauses, meaning when the salary cap grows, the value of the respective deals will also increase."

If Bula's deal is for an extra 4 years (including 2026) and both Mays for 3 each, that would mean they all average out at 1million a year? I assume that means Taylan will be in the 700-800k range, Terrell in the 900k-1.1m range and Bula probably 1mil-1.2mil? The deals will obviously be at the higher range in 2029 and 2030 when the cap has increased after the tv deal.

 

[TurnStyle]

Oh, and before you Mensa graduates tell me that of course HBG had nothing to do with Bula re-signing . . . . I know. They also had exactly the same to do with him NOT re-signing.

Hate to break it to you, but there is no "graduating from Mensa"...

 

[TYGA]

Aren’t the Storm looking less and less desirable. Plus I wonder how long Bellamy will stick around for with his recent diagnosis.

Dont be surprised if his brother joins WT. Benji is wise its on the cards.

Explains plenty about our dominance. A Red Bull momentum tracker is so basic.
