Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Re: Bula, whilst he isn’t the best fullback in the game right now he is still an extremely talented player and the best fullback we have had at this club since Tedesco.
After watching Walsh’s performance over the last couple of months and the gf I’m left thinking is Bula ever going to get to that same level? Walsh is possibly the 2nd best fullback the Broncos have ever had. But since Darius Boyd retired the Broncos had played Issako, Niu, Martin prior to Walsh joining in 23.
The questions I ask; Is Bula in the same class as Walsh? I don’t think so unfortunately.
Is he a better fullback than Issako, Niu and Martin? Most definitely, resigning him would be ensuring we have consistency there.

As others have said, it’s highly unlikely Bula will get Walsh’s level. Is May going to get to Haas’s level? It’s the wrong question to ask.

If Walsh was off contract now he’d easily get $1.5M and probably more. Bula would get about half of that but that doesn’t mean he’s not the best option for us.

Are we a chance to get Walsh? No.

Is there a better option around Bula’s price? I’d say no.

Take Bula out of our side and what pace do we have, not much, get an extension done Richo.

our attack is also bad without him

100% he is critical to our team, we don't win much without him. My original question was not should we sign him, but how is Richo playing this one out to get his preferred outcome. You would think it should have been put to bed by now, and the longer it drags on the more I begin to wonder if there is another team involved and muddying the waters.
