No - Tyran left the club on good terms to go to Canberra.

His grievance as an agent was with how Mosese Fotuaika's death was handled and how little support his close mates in the squad BMM - Sitaleki Akauola etc were provided by the club.

He then lost all respect for the professionalism of the Pascoe front office in subsequent dealings - and we have not retained or had the option of signing any of his clients for many years.

He doesn't do business with the club because he doesn't think signing with the Tigers is in the best interests of his players...

Moses is a corrupt prick - but he has not blacklisted the Tigers as some insinuate.

That’s right … I totally forgot about that . I knew it was going o do with the way the club treats the Polly boys … but I couldn’t put the story together .
He’s 💯 right about how the club dealt with his death , and Pascoe . How often Do we bag him on here . I don’t begrudge any player manager who has the integrity to blacklist a guy like Pascoe .
I don’t think Moses has blacklisted the club. In fact I think it’s the opposite . I think he steers the Donnie Wahlbergs of his client list to us , and never the Mark Wahlberg.
And any time he is in concord negotiating an A list clients contract , it’s to leverage somewhere else . Make no mistake , the only reason he managed Brooks at our club for 10 years was that’s where Luke wanted to be.
If a player says I want to stay , get me the best deal you can offer the tigers … then that’s exactly what he does .
But if a player says to him , “id like to stay , but if the tigers won’t come to the party I guess I gotta do what I gotta do”, then that’s where I think his bulllshit begins . Because like others said , he can steer to manly , or Brisbane or North Queensland , and keep his 1 mil dollar coach in a job , leverage those players into getting player 30 roles for his Klemmers, Woods , Batemans of his list … etc .

Agreed mate. Would be great to have it sorted before pre-season starts though. Wouldn't a 2026 free of contract dramas be a nice Christmas present for Richo and Benji?

That would be a monumental feat, to have a full season being out of the media spotlight, that would be like Moses parting the sea, epic stuff.

No, I'm not religious lol.

His missus isn’t up to nrlw standard apparently . Well below from people who know the woman’s game.
This is all bullshit . He was promised to the dogs the moment the Galvin thing went down .
Unfortunately for the club you’d hope with Bula gone , that’s it for dealing with The Moses family ….. nope ! Our best junior in Godinet has him for a manager ….. Aparently with Bula the club only has itself to to blame as well. It was the club Ala sheens and McDonnell who out him onto Moses , when they were briefly back in charge .
This was inevitable and to be honest not even remotely worth getting upset about.
There’s a million fullbacks out there . For me , I’d be going hard for Brimson.
He is beyond wasted on the Gold Coast

Oh so Bulas officially gone?

It's on my Christmas list.

The ladies won only one game all year, but it’s a ruthless axing.

No it's not when she didn't even make the extended playing squad all season and was only on a one year development deal.

Nah, I’m mocking the sensationalist headline

Why?

This is not supercoach. Sometimes you can (and have to) incentivise quality players to come to poorer clubs with intangibles.

It is actually very shrewd recruiting to find alternate ways to keep or attract quality players outside of contract value or length.

Let's be clear. Bulas wife was on a development contract.. she was not a fully contracted player.

Been a while since we saw this much action on the forum, everyone's take on the Bula situation is entertaining.

It's a hard balance to strike between keeping the player happy and also not making decisions that shackle us for the future.

We need to be able to keep good relationships with players and having so many messy break ups (regardless of fault) makes it harder for management IMO.

Nah nah . I was just saying , after the Galvin fiasco , for me I’d have been putting feelers out , should that outcome happen .
I’m more speaking to the idea that the sky is falling if he leaves . Great player ? Yep … replaceable because of the current marketplace around fullbacks 💯.
But I personally love him . I’d be more pissed about losing Bula the person than Bula the fullback . He seems like a top kid . That hill run for the army camp was next level .
I know I’m kind speaking in doubles right now .
