Bula can activate his own extension with us at 800k per season if he really loves the club and wants to stay.
By him not doing that the club knows where they stand with him.

Why would he activate it if teams like Perth and R360 come in with bigger, longer term offers?

Moses also doesn’t want Bula to activate that clause because he won’t get paid for 2 more years…

I would assume so and if could mean the club sees him as a 800k per season player, not a 900k per season player just yet.

Richo is what we need, a leader to ensure we value players correctly and stands their ground with managers.

Look tbh I don't want Bula to leave as much as the next person but what Bula does now will tell a big story on his commitment to the club. I'm sure he'll activate his option or renegotiate a new steeped deal so IM gets his %.

But if he doesn't, we'll be fine in the fullback market with the talent out there (Jye Gray, AJ Brimson, Joey Manu and the list goes on).

Why would R360 know who Bula is ? They will have enough RU players from Europe, Japan, South Africa, Fiji etc and Australia/NZ not to have to worry about a fullback from a team that has run no better than 13th in the last 4 years in the NRL. Most NRL fullbacks do not have the kicking, defensive skill set that RU requires. Bula is untried in professional RU. They can pick better fullbacks from all those places mentioned above that a background in the game. Same goes for Perth - if they want to make a splash they aren't going to come after a one-trick pony from the 13th best side.

tbf r360 are looking at Jye gray & Will Kennedy so lol it’s not that far fetched. we already know he’s on perths radar.

You cannot just pay players an extra 100k above what you believe their true value is.
If the word got out about that happening, every player would be putting their hand out.

How would you define "true value"?

Bula's value to us at this point of time is enormous. He isnt replaceable from within the club and we would be hard pressed to find a better prospect from outside. Plus a hell of a lot of time and effort has been spent on development.

Bula's value to a club like the Roosters or the Dogs is less.

Totally! It would seem to me that R360 would have little to no interest in most NRL players. They will look at players who have a union background.
 
If Bula ends up at the dogs and the NRL rolls over again to the Isaac Moses games I won’t be surprised.

Managers run the game and it’s killed it off. Look at manly, they are making constant illogical roster management decisions and it’s because of Moses. We won’t be controlled by him (or his puppets) however in the short run it really hurts us. A club should not be stifled so much because of one management group.

A comp like r360 has serious potential to steal the nrls fan base if they don’t wisen up.

club cautious on activating their option at $800k is all. lots to play out.

further, you're going to hear this shit all summer. not ideal but until there's decisions made by Luai and Bula / WT it won't leave the news cycle.

No surprise that the rumours have started about Bula, with his moron manager trying to get a piece of the action , there’ll be plenty more

I’m not sure how smart it is to claim we won’t be controlled by him, yet have vital cogs constantly ripped out of the club. That’s not exactly a competent way to deal with the situation. The club has to figure this out moving forward. You can’t just not have players of the most influential agent in the game at your club.
