Jahream Bula #269

Hes definitely contracted next year...and thought we had a club option for $900k for 2027(he has a player option for $800k)?
Both are above the market for a fullback thats not in the top 10 in the NRL..but we dont have many options,and he does have some upside.
So Id pay it...but start planning for 2028,which buys us time(and alternatives)
His manager is Moses...and last thing we need is another IM shit show..which never ends well for us
And btw..no doubt IM is pulling the strings here..Id let the other IM managed player(kid actually) Phoenix Godinet go in a heartbeat,regardless of his potential..
we simply cant work with Moses who will waste our investment
Walk away
Situation is that Richo and Benji could be working on a FB that comes on the market Nov 1 for a 2027 start date, Bula is with us no matter what next season, unless we release him. the 1 year extension is for 2027. we are holding more of the cards in this negotiation. If we activate the extension Moses gets nothing for 2 more years.
 
Plenty of media on him today - I thought there were multiple options in the contract? I really don’t want to lose him. If we could get a full season out of him our chances of making finals increases
I believe there are two clauses for 2027:

1. In tigers favour - Bula gets paid 900k
2. In bula favour - Bula gets paid 800k

I think these expire November 1, meaning that if bula goes to market, then his contract with us technically ends 2026 and a new contract will need to be negotiated for 2027 onward...

My guess is bula will extend for 2027 at 800k and that this is just a play by Moses to scare the tigers into the 900k deal.

In saying that, i think if he hasnt signed before November 1 then hes probably out of here.

Id be very suprised if benji and Richo have their eyes on someone else.. I would think they are all in on Bula, but only if he wants to be here
 
Don’t worry guys we are letting Bula (our up and coming star) go for a returning Teddy. 2 year deal worth 1.1mil with a third in his favour. Also goes up to 1.3m if he gets his NSW jersey back! Moses Mbye the QLD great is also being sound out if he would like to return to wests tigers in his natural position halfback!

Bula >

A must keep.
Agree but we need him to be 100% committed or it’s a waste of time , mosses will be going hard for another team to offer up a deal Bulla would look at that’s for sure , Richo needs to get him in the office before pre season and iron it out , no good going to. 2026 with half hearted looking to leave players , they need to be weeded out asap
