Bula

Pretty sure I read the club has an option for next year worth $900k if he signs?

I think that might be 2027 TM. I think we've got him signed to a standard contract next year and the option is for the year after. Not 100% sure though

Just checked on zero tackle, correct about '27, he can negotiate from Nov 2026.
But what I was wondering why Benji said in the presser, "we just signed him to a long term contract"?

Almost worth signing up Taylan May - we can play him at centre if Bula stays.

Ultimately there was always a cloud over Galvin leaving that when the penny dropped it was more the inevitable occurring. We’ve never heard boo about Bula wanting out. Whilst Moses is a grub it would be incredibly unprofessional of him to have his client leave a club he has no desire to leave.

Richo needs to sit down with the players and let them know, that the player instructs the manager what they want, not the other way around.
The managers job is to locate offers for the player to consider, nothing more.

Bula stays loyal as Tigers turn a corner

The young star has brushed off exit talk and has backed the club’s culture shift under a new spine.

Jahream Bula has made it crystal clear he's not going anywhere, pledging his loyalty to the Wests Tigers and brushing aside speculation that he might follow Lachlan Galvin out the door.

Just thinking about Slater being so kind, Bula is a Queenslander?

He qualifies as a qlder but has come out this year and said considers himself from nsw and hates qld.

I'm not sure of the rules, does that matter?
Nevertheless, Slater appears to have started the process of trying to sweet talk him into becoming a cane toad.

The rules haven't mattered to qld for 45 years so I guess it's OK if we get 1 backing them.

I think footballers as a whole will follow an agenda that suits them.

I didn't know Bula' father-in-law is Solomon Haumono.

Bula seems to be a nice lad and I hope he continues to improve after his shoulder surgery and that he stays with us for a long long time.
Wests Tigers cannot build a legacy or a club culture unless we have players like Bula, Alex Twal and big red stay at the club long term.
I know those last two are not perfect but they're not on big contracts. Instead we need at least 2 marquee backs and 2 marquee forwards to build around these players.
I think our forwards are nearly there but the backs no.
Maybe young May, who is linked to us, comes into the backline that could raise the bar but we need a strike centre desperately.
