Exactly he’s so dumb, if he has a breakout year he could command so much more money, like hypothetical he wins rookie of the year he could get a way better deal there

Tigers teen prodigy Makasini open to rugby return after 2027
Heamasi Makasini has no regrets about his decision to choose league over union. However, he’ll have to make another choice between the rival codes soon.
He said he has league goals and union is a down 5he track thing. A little bit different to “open to union” . If his goals are premierships and rep honours for the tigers , then we have a lot to look forward to .Just the news we needed🤦Tigers teen prodigy Makasini open to rugby return after 2027

He would be silly not to be open to it, or any option. All players say this kind of thing to maximise contract value. He is going to be a hot commodity in 2027 regardless if its union or league. All he really said is that it is an option and even mentioned that his passion is Rugby League.Just the news we needed🤦Tigers teen prodigy Makasini open to rugby return after 2027

For the Tigers and Benji, the most important thing over the next few years is to create an environment he wants to be in and a club he wants to be a part of moving forward. Get his development right and get the team into the top 8. That is how you re-sign him and hopefully for less that any other code or NRL club offers.
Champion @Canadian Club - you've nailed it for retention of all players.
No one wants to bust a gut without job satisfaction/achievements.

If he’s secured a multi year deal and spot in the 17, then good on him. Something he probably wasn’t going to get here.
He’s got KPP and Samuela in front of him, with Godinet taking up that first second rower up in 2027. Sukkar and Roberts may also be pushing for spots depending on their development this season.

Oh dear, oh my, what are we going to do without him, our top gun.
Yup, said it before - we'll hear this noise all year if he goes the way we expect him to go.Just the news we needed🤦Tigers teen prodigy Makasini open to rugby return after 2027

Also, any chance Bula signs before the weekend? Really don't want to hear about crap like this all season.

Dragons to pounce on Jahream Bula if Tigers can’t seal deal
St George Illawarra plans to make a huge play for Jahream Bula to be the long-term successor for Clint Gutherson if the star fullback doesn’t come to terms with the Wests Tigers.
Bula has a mutual option in his contract for 2027. The Tigers have until next month to exercise it, which would result in him playing next season on a salary of $900,000. If they choose not to, Bula can take up a player option to stay put by the following month at a price of $900,000. If neither occurs, Bula is free on the open market.
Sources not authorised to speak publicly because Bula’s isn’t a free agent have told this masthead that the Dragons will make the No.1 a priority target if he can’t strike an agreement with the Tigers.
Both clubs identify Bula as a potential franchise player. Dragons officials, to ensure they were observing anti-tampering rules, contacted the NRL to get clarification on when they are permitted to approach Bula. That can only happen if the deadline for Bula or the Tigers to take up the option expires.
The Tigers remain hopeful of coming to terms with the Fijian international, but it won’t happen before their season kicks off. Former chief executive Shane Richardson felt he was close to securing commitments from Bula and Luai before he resigned late last year. Bula’s wife Aaliyah - the daughter of former Bulldogs, Dragons, Sea Eagles and Tigers forward Solomon Haumono - was last year cut from the Tigers’ NRLW squad.
The Tigers have signed promising Panther Jack Attard, a former Australian Schoolboys fullback, as insurance should Bula move on.
Bula has also been linked with Canterbury Bulldogs, fullback Connor Tracey is off contract at the end of the season. (SMH)

This crap always starts when we are due to play it’s not fair
Isaac Moses is also Shane Flanagan’s manager. I’ve said it multiple times on here, the moment we mentioned in the media we were confident of re-signing Bula (which we first did months ago and have done a few times since) we were in big trouble. Isaac uses that stuff against you.

Moses might be mates with Flanagan … but will they offer more money than the Tigers have ? You think they would have to offer more to get Bula to leave …they are hardly a better destination than the Tigers
Makes it hard to get excited for the actual games when this crap is constantly dragging on.
Honestly I'm all for ultimatums at this stage, don't care if it doesn't go our way. It's a lot less disruptive.
He's had plenty of time to make a call.
