Yeah,Well he isn't purchasing the mighty Wests Tigers then aye not that it was a really possibility, but he expressed interest,and as a result would have cleared out the dead wood . 😔

I don't understand why he would waste his money - radio is a dying medium and AM radio is all egotistical talking heads trying to outdo each other to pump up their failing ratings
Why?
Is that your tweet?

good deal for Laundy, huge ratings in Sydney melbourne Brisbane and continuous call still rates the highest weekend program.over SEN & Triplle M rugby league coverage.
Will be interesting as his son Craig was not fan of the likes of Hadley or Jones so perhaps some changes ahead for them.
Not sure about the other states (which I’m sure are high) but 2GB is the number one radio station in Sydney and also the highest streamed.

6PR used to be the highest in Perth but has gone to shit since 9 bought it. Hopefully some changes are made but I guess, being a small market , they may not bother much.

We were a different team when bula was playing last year. Hes a future superstar and we need to keep him. If that means paying him $900k + so be it . It would also be a win in the media and stop the world collapsing rhetoric from the media if he is to leave . Seems like we are making his deal better this year and waitirn for bird to move on to free that money . Let’s hope so!!!!
Hooray

not what I heard unfortunately mate. Isaac managed to squeeze some additional cash out of us.
Honestly I think paying the extra and securing a young talented fullback for the next few years is worth it.
Going out trying to find a new fullback, when there aren't many available, would suck. Right now are pushing for finals not rebuilding our spine

Is it a crime to get value out of a player. He hasn’t even played a game yet to really determine an increase imo.

How long is the deal mate , heard we wanted 4 years and Mossses pushed for 2 years , 2 doesn’t make sense as Bulla is hear in 26 and we could have hit the button for 27
Hope the dollars are around $ 700

Not at all … I wasn’t making the case to upgrade Bunty … just asking a question about what’s stopping them now if they want to do it ?
I wouldn’t be surprised though that they have already agreed to upgrade him as part of the deal when he signed here …I recall them doing something similar with Sione last offseason…not adding him to the Top 30 until the start of the season .. I can only speculate that they wanted to keep a Top 30 spot or two open over this offseason in case they had an opportunity to sign someone new … that doesn’t seem to be happening now

In this market, value for all players has risen. When demand outstrips supply, contract values will rise. Bula is a quality player and one of our best. I also think he is one of our players that binds the team as he has that personality to get on with all players. In a team environment, this is very important and no doubt Marshall is aware of it.

He could purchase WTs with ease if it were for sale. I like his style and it would be good for WTs to be under his ownership but as WTs. I write this as a long time Balmain supporter.
