Jahream Bula #269

[mtd#2]

It's actually less than peanuts in terms of the salary cap, the minimum contract is currently 130 K in the NRL

name them what you will I'll take it

I’ll need your password as well…

feel free to sort the mortgage for me while you're there

Will do … I have a mortgage document I can send you for the Opera House …I’ll even send that through first as a show of good faith

This club rarely gets signings right. When was the last time we got or kept a top player ? Only Luai at an inflated price. It was dumb to let Bula's wife go when she was playing for peanuts in a shit team. Could probably let another 10 go from ladies team. This just jeopardises retaining Bula imo.

They already cut about 13 or 14....theres only 7 or so remaining

Contact Isaac Moses, he will get you a loan.

Contact Isaac Moses, he will get you a loan.

Unfortunately he is too busy trying to organise the contract for new Tigers replacement fullback - Tyrell Sloan

 

[tigertragic]

I just don’t know who to believe, but if u look at the only facts we can believe are
1) we dumped his wife , maybe not a great move , maybe could have kept her , and let’s face it the women’s team is crap any way
2) we have not activated his clause , but we really don’t know where this is at
3) only this club could get its self in this position, we were willing to offer shit head GALVIN $1,000,000 yet we don’t want to give him $800,000 , ARE we missing something, have we lined up a replacement or we just going to shot ourselves in the foot again and lose another kid who we gave a start , last one we done that was PAPPA and how did that turn out

Tigers don’t offer $800,000, they need to offer $900,000 to activate the clause.
Bula has the option at $800,000
Would you pay $800,000, possibly
Would you pay $900,000 doubtful

Imagine not renewing a contract because your wife can't make the NRLW side.

Does this mean that built into his contract at another club that his wife must also sign in the women's side for an equal term?

Pull ya head outta your ass Jarheem

This is just managers at work. Most clubs are going through this with their best players. Richardson gets paid the big bucks to work to through these situations we need to come out in top with this one.

Not worried... options seem limited and i think the club knows it.

Using A.I to clean up the info.... here it is:

The argument is that Jahream Bula's market for 2027 will realistically come down to just two primary bidders.

Jahream Bula's Viable Options (Outside Tigers) are Limited to 4 Clubs:
Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs (Need): Connor Tracey is off-contract in 2027, leaving a clear and immediate top-tier vacancy at the marquee fullback position.

Perth Bears (Need): As an expansion club, they have an empty roster and a mandate to sign a marquee spine player to build their team around. Bula is a prime target.

Cronulla Sharks (Potential Need): Will Kennedy's contract expires at the end of 2026, meaning they could be in the market for a long-term No. 1 for 2027.

St George Illawarra Dragons (Potential Need): The Dragons' long-term No. 1 is not firmly secured past 2026, leaving a potential opening.

The Final Financial Filter (Leaving the Two Core Bidders):
You can further simplify this by introducing the Salary Cap Reality, which effectively removes the Bulldogs and Sharks from serious contention for a highly-paid Bula (reported to be worth up to $900,000 for 2027)

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs: The Bulldogs have recently signed multiple high-priced players, including Matt Burton (2027) and Stephen Crichton (2027+), as well as a large forward pack. Finding the salary cap space for another nearly $1 million player without shedding significant talent could be a major challenge, making them a less likely bidder.

Cronulla Sharks: The Sharks have locked in high-profile spine players like Nicho Hynes (2029) and Blayke Brailey (2030), and are investing heavily in their forward pack. Signing Bula would likely require a major cap squeeze after securing their current stars.

Conclusion:
Given that almost every club is secured with a first-choice fullback until 2027 or later, and factoring in the tight salary cap situations of the Bulldogs and Sharks, the bidding war for Jahream Bula is functionally reduced to two clubs.


Only the Perth Bears and, to a lesser extent, the Dragons, will have the financial flexibility and positional urgency to aggressively pursue Jahream Bula as their marquee fullback for 2027. The Bears' empty cap makes them the overwhelming favourite.

If anyone believes the Dogs are operating within the salary cap rules ,,,then Ive got a bridge to sell you
They will punt Tracey and Burton in a heartbeat regardless of contractual status...and short odds on thats where he will end up

The Mole is saying today Bula gone , dirty with club for dumping wife , didn’t take long for That excuse to come out , apparently both loved it at tigers , so time will tell but I see it this way
Mosses as Manager X
Dump the wife X
Club not activated his deal. X
Not a good set up , I thought he would stay but I’m not sure now and we can’t have players who are on 70% in , they must be 101 % committed

So this was made public weeks ago about Bula wife not being extended. So it’s a total beat up. Bula isn’t even in the country for weeks.

Both Bula’s attended the awards night looked very happy and comfortable with team mates etc which happened weeks after she was told.

If his wife and Bula weren’t happy they wouldn’t have attended let alone mix and have fun with others that night.

Bula also talked when he got his award glowing about things on how he met his wife via the clubs activities & how thankful he was.

Mole gets zero information on the Tigers and makes crap up on us often since his mate Sheens was punted.

 

[Tom Shines]

Everyone should do what I have done and block The Mole on X…. He will never say anything good about the WT

 

[Tom Shines]

Its a BS excuse conjured up by Moses to blame shift

Moses needs to be careful… or the Tigers will just pick up the option and he will be paid nothing for managing Bula for two years …

100k is chicken feed according to some people.
The Wests Tigers Charity Foundation should just give all our players a 100k pay rise.

They have paid a million bucks over three years for Sullivan to play for Souths…we ‘ll get over the100k… it’s not ideal…but both deals were agreed by the previous administration …. Maybe they could pitch in the money?

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Lol guilty of using rocket fuel but man he could run fast, pity he couldn't do it without additives.

They were all on them then .

 

[TYGA]

I wouldn’t believe a word of it. Tigers overpaying for one or two years to buy time will happen. Easier negotiating if we are a finals team next year.

Wasn’t Benji present and involved when we signed Sullivan ?
It will be 2030 and we will still be blaming the previous administration.
