OFFICIAL Jahream Bula #269

[innsaneink]

Typical Danny Wanker exclusive. He will be zipping on his three layers of puffer jackets right now to interview Gus on Channel Nein so Gus can save face on losing out on Bula while something creamy drips off Danny's chin.

Anyone notice the magic word here: "But Moses has shown maturity and professionalism to do what he usually does – put his client first." Surely it is Isaac's job to always put his client first. What are you saying Danny?

Yep...someone.picked this up this morning
Truth slips.out sometimes
Dunny better get some more chapstik

One out of two ain’t bad Wiz … better than a lot of sources here 👍

I just pass on what I hear!

Makes Benji's response to Read earlier this week even better

Yep, mentioned the same thing, earlier in this thread. He looked totally at home in the preseason trial and has played a starring role in Flegg this year. Actually, I watched a highlights video of Brookes and he really looks like a potential gamebreaker. On top of that, he is a natural talker. All good things. It's be a great pity to lose him. Think he should be kept and developed as a potential winger or centre now that Bula has extended.

Here is a link to a Deed Poll application: https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/replace-a-change-of-name-certificate for Logan. Many of us are still on medication from the last L Brooks experiment. I know Brookes is spelt slightly differently but the PTSD is still very real.

I grew up reading the late Alan Clarkson’s columns in SMH. Wonderful journalist, accurate and honesty personified, popular with fans , players and officials.. The current group of journos need to have a good look at themselves, the less we talk about them the better. They do very little to enhance the game!!

Weidler's column also sounds like a carefully written suck job to both gus and IM

Pretty obvious he knew what was coming hey, hence the smirk and crusty responses.

I would question why it needed to be written?

To dilute our big news with the clubs official announcement

The months of speculation is bound to end for the 24-year-old.​

According to SMH, star fullback Bula has agreed to a multi-million dollar deal to remain at the club long term, ending months of fevered speculation about his future.

SMH has also reported that an official announcement is expected this week.

Club insiders told SMH the deal is a mega-deal spanning several more years, it represents a striking show of strength of the Tigers' management.

Great news. It means we have 3/4 of our spine locked up long term and the 6 looks to be between Javon and Latu.

It's decent coin, but there's no one equal or better available at the same price. Luai has done us a massive favour.

 

[Canadian Club]

Code sports article:

"The May brothers have both re-signed with the Tigers until the end of the 2030 season.

All three contracts involving the May brothers and Bula, which will tally up to $10 million by the time the contracts end, all have ratchet clauses, meaning when the salary cap grows, the value of the respective deals will also increase."

If Bula's deal is for an extra 4 years (including 2026) and both Mays for 3 each, that would mean they all average out at 1million a year? I assume that means Taylan will be in the 700-800k range, Terrell in the 900k-1.1m range and Bula probably 1mil-1.2mil? The deals will obviously be at the higher range in 2029 and 2030 when the cap has increased after the tv deal.

 

[TurnStyle]

Oh, and before you Mensa graduates tell me that of course HBG had nothing to do with Bula re-signing . . . . I know. They also had exactly the same to do with him NOT re-signing.

Hate to break it to you, but there is no "graduating from Mensa"...

 

[TYGA]

Aren’t the Storm looking less and less desirable. Plus I wonder how long Bellamy will stick around for with his recent diagnosis.

Dont be surprised if his brother joins WT. Benji is wise its on the cards.

Gun Wests Tigers fullback Jahream Bula has ended months of speculation about his future and agreed on a multimillion-dollar deal to remain at the club long term.

Bula is one of the game’s rising superstars and has been on the radar of a number of clubs, but this column has learned he has settled his future. An announcement is expected this week.

Jahream Bula is set to stay put at the Tigers.GETTY
Just days after the club had to deal with the news that their spiritual leader Jarome Luai would join the PNG Chiefs from 2028, the Tigers have pulled off a significant coup by convincing their most exciting young player to commit to the club.

Tigers insiders say the deal will lock down the 24-year-old for several more years. It’s been described as a mega deal, and it shows great leadership by the Tigers, who have often been criticised as dysfunctional.

There had been fears Bula was heading for the exit because he was managed by Isaac Moses.

The conspiracy was that Moses wouldn’t sign him with the Tigers because of a strained relationship with coach Benji Marshall. But Moses has shown maturity and professionalism to do what he usually does – put his client first. The agent has also previously done a deal for Adam Doueihi at the Tigers.

The club has been keen to lock down Bula in light of misplaced hysteria around Bulldogs general manager Phil Gould showing interest in the fullback.

The Dogs have made no attempt to sign him, but the reaction to Gould’s praise for Bula during commentary for Nine was amusing to observe.

Gould’s description of Bula as “creamy” had some thinking Bula was being wooed by the Dogs in the way they perceived Lachlan Galvin had been.

And while Galvin did eventually leave the Tigers for the Bulldogs, in both instances there was nothing in Gould’s comments other than him being the brilliant TV commentator that he is.

The money freed up by Luai’s departure was helpful for the Tigers in retaining Bula. It has been a great comeback by club management, who also convinced Terrell and Taylan May to re-sign, after losing Luai.

Can someone confirm this quote for me:

The agent has also previously done a deal for Adam Doueihi at the Tigers.

I thought Douhei negotiated his own contract with the Tigers? Or is Moses now his manager?

 

[Tom Shines]

Channel 9 saying it’s a 4 yr deal …

 

[Lestronge]

Oh, and before you Mensa graduates tell me that of course HBG had nothing to do with Bula re-signing . . . . I know. They also had exactly the same to do with him NOT re-signing.

I know you think this is some big gotcha moment , but it really just proves how much of a dingus you are . Why? Because the players came out in December right when it was happening and admitted it was affecting them even though they were trying not to . So dribble dribble …. Is all I have to say . MaGpIEs… da da da MagGiEzzz Da da da …..

And halfback Madden, ha-ha!
