Jahream Bula #269

How about Trai Fuller for half those $$$

Age 28, 17 NRL games 1.7m tall

I’d rather the tall athletic 23yo we have whose been a consistent player who will go onto play 250 plus NRL games.

Mate I’ve had concerns that Benji is our recruitment manager and head coach at the same time.

No concern at all

Consistently poor - No effort bludger, Fuller has shown more ticker in 17 games than Bula has shown in 60.

I’ve seen Fuller play all of one good NRL game, but all opinions are equal.

So I know how much you like it when I talk to people I know at the pub well last night I headed up to the local thinking can I get anything for my friend Tommy and I did about Bula

I was there chatting away had a steak and a few and just about to put my $20 into the pokies my fortnightly budget for pokies the an interesting person came and had a chat

Well I was told that Bula had agreed to terms with the club but the problem was his old manager now working at Canterbury had not agreed to render the old contract null and void he wants his $$$ also Canterbury want to make an offer

So another 6 weeks no news so the Tigers option runs out then the Bula option runs out then the contract is null and void in the meantime Canterbury trying to get $$$ for an offer


Who knows if it's true but the steak was nice and the beer cold

The Tigers option is not going to run out.
As Benji said we have a fullback
Until end of season 27.
If Bula’s accepts our upgrade it will be longer.

As I’ve been saying…My favourite pipe dream is young Katoa from the Dolphins … I think he is one of the best young halves I’ve ever seen…. Any chance we can get him ?

Any chance we can turn Latu into him?

I think thats a good indicator he is staying. If he wasnt connected to the boys and wanting to stick around why would he subject himself to it? I am sure Terrell will ask the question- but obviously wont press

Mate, how about that cut out ball he threw on the weekend. If it wasnt for Bizza's double grubber kick try, everyone would be talking about it. It was straight from the school of andrew johns. I jizzed my pants watching it.

The whole point of this argument is that if we were willing to spend close to 1 million dollars per season on re-signing Bula long term, we would be much better off and become a much better attacking team by signing Purdue on the same money.
Sone people wanted to argue and claim Bula is the better player, those people are off with the fairies.
IF we offered Purdue 1 million per season and he rejected it then so be it, at least we tried to improve ourselves.
Purdue is from Mackay, not North Queensland and my information from a mate who lives in Mackay is that Purdue is very open to a move to Sydney if the money is right.
If that is not an option than obviously it would be nice to re-sign Bula, but he has not yet shown the individual brilliance this season to command a long term 900k or higher contract.
Are we suggesting we just pay him 900k or higher on a long term contract anyway, even if we have no proof to show he is an elite match winning fullback?

When has Purdue shone at fullback? He thinks he's a 5/8 and the lowly Cowboys play him at centre.
What about Ponga? Would you take him after what he's done at Newcastle the past two seasons?
Turbo? How's he going at Manly? Latrell? Most would consider all those champion fullbacks, but how are they, and their teams, going? Maybe it's got a bit to do with coaching and teamwork.
