Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

My main issue now is with a quick decision either way … keep him for next year … if he is not staying longer than get amongst it sooner rather than later for 2027

If he wants to leave, I'd spring the option to give Attard another year to develop, if he's as good a guy as everyone thinks, during his remaining time we would expect him to perform.

What did I say in this instance to be a contrarian? Or even a troll? Plenty agree with me about Benji. It’s far from a minority opinion.

It’s OK Mrs Lestronge, we get it now, you’re just here to wind up your husband. 🤣

I got no issue with Bula doing his best in 2026 if he is signed elsewhere
Attard might be a bit young for 2027…

There have been a few Bula articles over the last week and in one of them I saw a comment from him that he will see how he goes this season in making up his mind. Im hoping I misread it and its not his manager talking to him extending out the decision time so it helps string out the drama and keep WT on tenterhooks rather than make the early decision that WT want and we can move on from it. Please not another season dragged out by contract dramas, media and managers (Moses).

That would be everywhere 6 times a day

Bula's club option is for 27 that gives Attard 2 more seasons to develop.

Whens the option due to be taken up? I heard April

Not sure on the deadline it was mentioned on here recently but April rings a bell.

Has there been any further talk of Josh Curran leaving Dogs. I think he would be a good buy also Ray Stone. Would like either one of those. Both can negotiate now for 27

My gut feel is Richo isn’t picking it up

Could be an element of who blinks first with the 27 option. Why would Bula take up the option, when for an extra 100k, the club could pick it up.

I don’t know enough about the wording of the option … what’s the deadline … is he in the open market now for 2027?

Well, if contract extension talks are going favourably, you'd expect not, like everyone on here I just wish the F it gets done sooner rather than later so we can just concentrate on pre-season and dream that we are in for a big year as we do every summer.

FALSE - there has been ONE story in which he was interviewed by Tyson Otto for the Teleghraph that was first published today!

He's been in NYC with his wife for the past fornight and has given no interviews since he was in Fiji camp prior to his holiday!

He does not state anything about seeing how he goes this season before making a decision in the Otto interview either - so you did misread it.

The only other media has been Richo confirming that we are working on a significant extension for Jahream...

Stop jumping at shadows and confusing social media posts as "news articles" FFS!

There's no reference, you're interpreting it wrong.

Feel free to apologise anytime you want @GNR4LIFE for making it about you and accusing me of homophobia when I don't even know if your a male or female.. or maybe you're both.. or maybe you identify as a cis trans bisexual... I assume the narcism just comes naturally..
