The positive ... at least he'll back at the club doing the rest of his rehab from Nov 3 and hopefully back running hard by December. If he played the Pac Champs, he probably wouldn't start pre-season training until Christmas.
I think its clear what the club has to do regarding Moses and make it public. No more Moses players. Unfortunately I think the club needs Bula. I dont understand why he considered signing with Moses recently, from all reports he stands for everything Moses isnt. Do these players sign with managers for a period of time i dont know but surely this is a case where Richo sits down with Bula one on one. F@&k Moses
And likewise our value to him and appreciation of what the club has done for him should be a big part of his thinking if he is genuine.
800k is his value and he should do the honourable thing and activate his contract extension for that value, taking into consideration we cannot afford to keep overpaying highly paid players and still have enough cap space to have a good quality team playing alongside of them.

I would normally agree espicially in our situation we need every player manager on side but after hearing hes relationship with our head coach i cant see a way of going forward with Moses and our club. Hes never going to do right by us while benji is at the club its that simple.
yep its that simple.
At the end of the day the player himself has the final say, it’s just convenient to blame the manager when a player doesn’t accept the clubs offer.

Its not in Moses's interests to see Bula or us activate his clause. He will want and probably push for a new deal he negotiates otherwise he doesn't see a cent from Bula.
I knew this Bula contract negotiation would blow up.
How he thinks he’s worth 900k per season or more is beyond me.
He’s a good athlete, but I’ve never seen him kick a ball, very rarely passes the ball and doesn’t have the courage to take the ball to the line and put a team mate through a gap.
He’s dreaming if he thinks the Bulldogs will pay him 900k. They might want to sign him, but no way will they pay that much for him, so we shouldn’t be the suckers to give in to his unrealistic demands.
Fullbacks in Rugby Union need to have a good kicking game, so that’s not an option.
I know the Perth Bears will be desperate for players, but I don’t think they will be silly enough to pay 900k or higher for Bula either.

How do you know he thinks that?
You're just jumping to conclusions without any real information... All we know is that he's got options in his contract and Moses wants a new deal. We don't know how much he wants/is asking for or how much the club wants to offer.
The only other info we have is that Chammas THINKS that the TIGERS don't want to trigger their clause at this stage. This isnt even reliable information as Chammas cant even get the clause $$$ right.
Everyone needs to relax until some real information actually becomes available.
Of course it is all assumptions including what Chammas has reported.
But I raised this a few months back as he could have triggered his 800k per season contract extension at any time, but has obviously chosen not to, otherwise it would have been done.
Moses and Bula would already be well aware what rival offers are out there.
By dragging it on they are just playing games, you know what they say, “play silly games and win silly prizes”.
Why would you activate an 800k contract if theres a chance of being paid 900k by the same club?
This love of the club is stuff of fantasy.
My membership has jumped up significantly this year and im not fkn happy about it... I expect there will be a few ppl losing their shit on here tmw when the auto renewal kicks in.. my point being is that we are all just numbers... players and fans alike.

It doesn't make sense for him or Moses to trigger that clause when he can get a longer term deal at similar or more money, and Moses doesnt get paid. It makes no logical sense for Bula to trigger that clause...
The logic is if we start paying Reece Walsh type money for Jahream Bula, we will not have the cap space to field a competitive team alongside him.
So it’s either he does the honour thing and triggers his contract extension for his true value or he puts us in a difficult position wondering how we pay an over inflated contract value to keep him and also find the cap space to field a competitive team alongside him.
I would ask him the question - “Do you want to play finals and hopefully compete for an NRL Premiership, or do you just want the cash”?

Bula @$700 a season for 2-3 makes sense to me $750 max
Logic doesn't fly here mate
