I'd much rather Bula, and was happy with Turuva.
But if Bula WAS to go, Will Kennedy is a good player.

Difficult to say Sheens ‘unearthed’ Bula.
He came along to training with a mate that was at the tigers. Sheens just happened to be in charge at the time. But did say he was impressing the coaching staff.
PS I’m a Sheens admirer for what he did for the club overall.

Sheens is the one who identified his talent and gave him a preseason.
if Madge was still at the club Jahream would currently be playing on the wing for Ryde-Eastwood.

Rumours are the Dogs signed a player called Jack Hillar from the Knights. Although it is not a confirmed signing, the development system is in overdrive at the Dogs if true.

With the possible reduction in squads to 25 and expansion of the competition, available talent will be spread more thinly (not evenly) around the clubs. The SMH reported 85 players will be then made available for clubs and we will see a flow on pay rise as squads decrease with the same cap payments.

Does the salary cap still fit? NRL taskforce to launch review
For the first time in 35 years, the salary cap will come under the microscope to determine whether it is still an effective talent-equalisation tool.
It wasn’t hard to identify.
He joined us mid 2022 on the recommendation of his good mate Trey Peni who was captain of our Jersey Flegg team at that time.
He quickly gained a reputation as an extremely fit and fast athlete with plenty of potential.
Game 1 of the 2023 season he played in our young NSW Cup team that flogged the Roosters at Leichhardt Oval, Bula scored a length of the field try from a kick return, Kitione Kautoga playing for us at that time terrorised the Roosters defence on the right edge scoring 2 tries and Brandon Tumuth scored 3 tries on the left edge.
The Roosters team was decent and included players such as Siua Wong.
Not long after Sheens give Bula his NRL debut and Kautoga departed to the Bulldogs seeking a better opportunity.

he certainly gained a reputation quickly, but as you would know there's plenty of players that do well in Flegg and don't progress. Sheens gave him a preseason and by Round 10 he was named to start in first grade and never looked back.
Kautoga's one we'll live to regret in due time. he's going to be a very good player once he beds down properly in first grade. his ballplaying ability hasn't been utilised just yet.

We're producing the players!
That’s gonna be hard . With the introduction of sports science , and rest , longer rehab times , as well as concussion protocol , how teams will reduce their squads to 25 players is gonna be interesting . If that happens there will have to be a reduction in games .it doesn’t make sense otherwiseWith the possible reduction in squads to 25 and expansion of the competition, available talent will be spread more thinly (not evenly) around the clubs.

A contributor in the All Things Wests Tigers facebook group believes we are one of 3 clubs interested in Harrison Hassett.
Apparently he was about to be selected in the 17 for Penrith this weekend but was taken out just before team lists were lodged on Tuesday. The contributor said the last time this happened was when Turuva was left out by Cleary the week he signed with us.
Take it or leave it as from Facebook.
