Let's wait and see what happens but I hope he stays.

He’s going to need to pull his head in about his fee as his first port of call.

If he wants walshy money, he needs to play like him.

He has a great game every now and then but he’s also a bit flighty and can gibber about. I think Benji could do more with him, so it’s not all at his feet.

If he’s still managed by Satan, we should apply a tax of some kind.

 

[AKA Das Hassler]

I havent heard him or read about him demanding anything. The only thing I've seen is the journo's opinions about what he might or should do. What does he need to pull his head in about? He hasn't said anything as far as I know

Here’s one of the sources.

He’s just got to get his head around the fact that he’s not 900k worth of fullback.

Not in his wildest dreams!

I’d rate Walsh a robust 25% better player and only gets 10% more.

My opinion anyways.

I don’t think anyone had an optimal season last year. Even Benji agrees with that and we aren’t exactly besties!

And it’s a good thing he sees it, due when due.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Which has given me an idea for “7 good things about Benji” post.

In the opaque poisonous and disheveled quagmire of his toxic rookie coaching abomination, he has, against all known odds, hit some genuinely high notes.

And that just makes my point...where in that article has he said anything let alone anything about what he's worth? it's exactly what i said...the thoughts of journalists and absolutely NOTHING more. Where has Bula talked about being worth what Walsh gets? Nowhere. It's a load of nonsense

I know he's gonna stay, the good lord told me so and if he does go I'm gonna take my 20 bucks back from the collection plate.

Click bait BS. I'd love to see this type of media banned.

It says his contract has the 900k option.

It’s an IM model.

Walshys on the $1m.

I've had too many cheques and IOU's bounce with him over the years, time to get serious.
Don't worry lads, we've got a sneaky plan.

“Tigers retention plan:
Step 1 — Pray.
Step 2 — Pray harder.
Step 3 — Lie about having a plan.”
It's staight out of the Pascoe's Handbook, Part 2, "How to Lie About Membership Numbers".

We are also going to do this:
Rename Campbelltown Stadium, officially rebranding it to
“Jahream Bula Athletic Park".
Give Him Unlimited Wests Leagues Club Chicken Schnitzels.
Build a Giant Golden Statue outside Leichhardt Oval naming it, "Living The Jahream".
He gets to choose a mascot like a black and white tiger with wings that has a Bula head.
Give him his own private lounge atop of the Wayne Pearce scoreboard.
Bring his wife back to captain the Wests Tigers NRLW Team.
Set up clauses in his contract where he can choose the spine and coach.
Establish a save the Bula Committee where all they do is follow him around saying:
“Mate, you happy? Want a drink? Want a snack? Want a new fullback coach?” They organise a save the Bula Hotline too and just bullcrap answers to the members over the phone and also answer TSP's emails.
If he doesn't resign, we’ll force him to watch a replay of every Tigers game from 2014–2023 as punishment then give him a BBQ and tell him to buzz off

I don't think anyone knows exactly what's going on. Clickbait as AKA said.
We may have clauses in his contract that could be in the plan I submitted previously. GOK what the TPA's are, noone does.

I reckon Walsh will be getting more than that. Bula's contract was done under previous management that wasn't IM.

Bula has a $900k option if we take it up but from the media reports on what Richo is stating we are looking at a long term contract that would be fair value to the club and Bula. I think more like $700k for a number of years and that to me sounds like a good deal.

Let's see what happens though. I'm surprised Bula hasn't been offered a bomb from other clubs.

His last manager got him a good deal back then...that's his job..Bula hasn't said anything about wanting out or where he's at as far as ability goes, so as far as I can tell that about sums it up . Stuff about what he needs to get his head around or realise is just stuff fans and journos have in THEIR heads...not he in his. He's a young guy developing his game ...really...nothing to see here folks

I’m just going off what it says.

I haven’t heard him back down from that option yet, I haven’t seem IM hose it down or try to change it to something more sensible.

As for his ability, I think it’s not really for him to argue, it’s for others to judge.

And in my view, it’s not really $900k worth of talent given what I’m seeing around the game.

As a club, I think we want good players who are prepared to make some sacrifices.

Daniel Anderson has spoken about it recently in his dragons podcast.

Yeah....but again ...he's not arguing it

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

It’s still there though.

It’s the only thing we have to go on.

I mean I see the door is open for you to suggest a relaxation.

And we’d all agree with that.

Considering all that's to yet play out, it's considerably quiet for a potential superstar. He has it in him.
I'd rather hear nothing at all than stuff that is repeated or reworded with a different date.
The thing that noone knows much about is the TPA's and family stuff.
He clearly wants to dtay but it's his future.
We're building depth which is a good thing. I can't see us not making the finals with we keep the majority of our best players and top up with fresh blood.
