Jahream Bula #269

He will sign long term, just sit back and enjoy the wins for now, it will all fall into place, If Bulla looks at Galvin,at this stage of the competition he's made a mistake leaving us same with Da Silva .Both Da Silva and Galvin where playing better football in the black orange and white in my opinion

Haven't read too far back to see if this has been mentioned, but the main thing I took away from Thursday regarding Bula was the toughness he showed.

He obviously went into the game carrying his shoulder from last week.

For those who question his heart, mind, or think he isn't up to it physically, watch that game again.

So many times he returned the ball or took a hit up and you could clearly hear the impact of collision.

Man, they hit him hard! And he went full tilt into every tackle.

I swear people think unless you're running around screaming like a lunatic then your heart and mind isn't in it.

Bula is just a calm dude. And it's probably a big reason he doesn't lose his composure after an error.

Bula has effortless speed ( or so it looks to me), he glides onto the ball. You can’t coach speed ( cue to Jack Gibson famous quote!) , we must take the option and go from there .
He can only get better in our team

Because I would expect any player getting paid 900k or more to get their fair share of man of the match performances each season.
Drinkwater is very hot and cold , no doubt he has some very poor games, but he does generally have his fair share of match winning man of the match performances each season.
Based on that fact alone I can’t put Bula in the same class as Drinkwater.
In saying this I thought Jahream was very good for us in the 2nd half on Thursday night, some of his backline involvements and ball playing to create was as good as I’ve seen from him, so it at least shows he is working hard on some of the areas he has previously struggled with and if he continues to improve or simply play like he did in the 2nd half until he got injured, a contract figure of 900k might become reasonable.
We don’t even know if Jahream is happy with 900k, he via his manager could be asking for more for all we know ?
With Terrell and Samuela both likely to be looking for pay rises if they agree to extend their contracts with us, we have to be very mindful of not over paying players if we expect to keep the majority of this current team together.

I'd take Bula over Drinkwater every day of the week. Drinky's defence is worse than terrible.

I'd take Bula also but i wouldn't say he's miles infront of Drinky if at all. Bula's defense isn't great he goal line defense is next to non existent, his positioning is probably better though.

I hope Bula listed to the Ponga interview today where he stated why he stayed with the Knights depsite other interest....The same applies to Bula you would think....
