Most reporters had Bula looking at his options prior to the Wests Ashfield/Richo BS. I doubt the deal was anything more than very early negotiations, yet alone 95% done.
Well done G that would have to be one of the best doomsday posts you have ever produced lol.
the Fainus at the very least are going nowhere . Source .. their own managers mouth in an interview I’m paraphrasing but it was basically “ Samuela wants to be the best back rower in the game , and I don’t think he will ever leave the tigers .
If Bula does leave, people will start feeling very paranoid. Not saying there will be a massive exodus, but I feel like we’d be at long odds to retain them all.
Great points, though Bellamy runs that club, once he goes there isn't any other coach you could replace him with. It'll take about 5 years imo, after 5 years of life post Bellamy, Melbourne will be mid table at best.
The same manager that just got booted from the game yeah?
Let's see what happens with him 1st and what happens in the next few weeks with the HBG situation.
In between his injuries he's been good for us without the need to flee to Melbourne.
Every season should be important......a step backwards in 2026 could he diabolical agreed
Whenever we've had these big departures, such as the big 3, ivan and Galvin, there always was the question of why.
Rubbish - they definitely have a part to play in it but Richardson had 12 months to get the deal done and all we ever heard was that it was close to being done. If Richardson as the great saviour as some on here seem to think couldn't get the deal done over 12 months then it was pretty obvious that Bula and Moses had already selected the exit door.
The chin was never coming here. I think Cleary is the one thing that was totally out of our control.
We don't need a top 10 fullback as we aren't losing a top 10 fullback, so someone reasonably competent would-be a like for like replacement, and someone not on $900K for average out put would be better.
100%.
We aren’t losing a top 10 fullback in Bula?
