OFFICIAL Jahream Bula #269

[davey_farrell]

Lets see how we cope without him over the next month.

yup fair call

 

[innsaneink]

Fa’alogo is the worst defender in the NRL for a bloke that is such a strong ball carrier I can’t believe how physically weak he is defensively

Bula 2 missed tackles 93% effociency
Sua 20 missed 56% efficiency

Bula doesn't miss tackles because he's 10 metres out of position to actually attempt them!

Benji seems unperturbed.. wonder if he's got Pappen waiting in the wings?

 

[innsaneink]

Air Tino up against Hugo Peel next week....over to you Ads

 

[Tucker]

honestly i am not bothered if he goes, i honestly dont think he is worth 900k, the way Drinkwater and this little Storm fullback play, they are the guys to me worth that amount, to me Bula has not done enough consistently to demand that sort of pay packet.

Bula is far more rounded player than both of them.

Stefano doing his part in a record breaking Storm side, 7 losses in a row for the first time in their history

Let’s see how we cope without him over the next month.

We are a better team when he is playing.
That is not the case with most of our roster.

Whats her job?

I'm sure he has a plan B up his sleeve

I'm sure he has a plan B up his sleeve

Joey Manu is a smoky I reckon

 

[bigsiro]

yup fair call

His injury is an opportunity in next man up mentality.
And if he’s already eyeing an exit, that just accelerates a decision I feel we should be making anyway.

Contenders have fullbacks who influence games week in, week out and if we really want to compete at the pointy end of the season, then that’s the only standard we should be settling for.

I thinkBula is overhyped and so I genuinely don’t think his injury absence hurts us. The contrary, it might actually help us.

He often stands behind the tryline so he doesn't have to make the tackle. Absolutely woeful.

 

[TurnStyle]

When was the last time our bloke stopped a try.
Also a horrible defender, but to be fair almost every fullback is these days.
The trick is to offset that with the ability to create tries out of nothing. Bula's one of the very few that can't do that.

Right off the top of my head, the last game. Held a player up over the line iiirc.

Done it a few times.

Huh? Bula put Taylan thru a hole for a try when we had 3 on 3 in the Canberra game. There was nothing doing there.

That's pretty wrong.... Practically every try and every saved try he is on screen.

Bula flick pass to Doueihi, backs up, scores the try against broncos.

Try from nothing 10m out against knights, try assists same game.

Had the ball 3 times on a single play, the end of which was him scoring from the KPP offload....

I'll go easy... After all, you must be getting on in years - I remember watching you when I was a toddler!

You watched any of our games in the last 18 months by any chance?

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

Gus must really be a sweet talker if he is even considering the dogs as they seem like they need to start from scratch. On the decline that club.

Melbourne's defence has never been worse with Falongo at FB and ours has been better than ever with with Bula at FB. I think there is more to Full back in organising defensive lines than singling them out for individual defensive errors. Teddy is about the best - at everything.

 

[Merlot]

Does this moses Marshall thing all stem from the meeting they had with Sheens and Buzz about 5 years back?

think its back farther than then ,remember the hatred got stated but never heard why
