Bula is a good prospect but Dyl Edwards is who is because he's the fittest player the ever play this sport. That can't really be replicated

To be fair about comparisons it should be remembered that Dylan Edwards had a pretty unimpressive first year or two....I remember a few panthers fans giving up on him as a FB after one particular shocker at a regional game somewhere. Bula's 20 or whatever and a season and a half into nrl and into building his confidence at this level....way too early to be making any comparisons ( of ability) to more experienced fullbacks

Agree Das.
Bula is a baby and so is Galvin. Those two are going to be held in higher regard by the NRL educated people for years to come after they gain more experience and become battle hardened.
I'm loving the fact that these guys are good enough to stay in first grade whilst so young and get this valuable knowlege. I just hope they stay fit.

Bula is the best FB we have, so I'm sticking with him.
It's one position that doesn't need to be looked at.

I’d put Bula above all named other than Kini

I just hope we retain them long term.I can see the establishment of Perth bears fking us over like the titans did when they lured Prince.We need a super wealthy benefactor similar to Uncle Nick to ward off the predators & ensure we can retain the elite kids in our system.

Wait til Bulas in a good team. Hopefully that happens during the next 4 years of his contract.

Very interesting to see Onitoni Large has been named at fullback for Flegg. With the logjam of halves do wonder if the club is turning him into a 1. He is one guy who could certainly displace Bula, hes arguably the best athlete the club has ever had.

Large & makasini who r both I think debuting in Flegg were sublime juniors.No doubt the club would b moving heaven & earth to keep them long term

Believe Large is signed longterm, however had been rumblings he wasnt happy about the likes of Luai, Galvin, Fainu etc being signed longterm. Id say the move to 1 is a lot about keeping him happy. Makasini, hes only in year 11 but I genuinley believe you could throw him into first grade today.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Maybe 2 years ago I'd have taken Kennedy to follow in his ole mans footsteps to become a Tiger.

Early days for Bula but I still like watching the way Kennedy runs with the ball. Edwards 1st and daylight 2nd (well there's a few called daylight, Turbo, Walsh, Paps, even Teddy still has it.)

Wrong person mate...i hand you over to Mr Vic for his thoughts

 

[WA Tiger]

As in a team moving forward more often than currently…that would work for Bulla

Out two big hopes for ‘25.

Out two big hopes for ‘25.

Tito went back to Cup for a few weeks to look at a few things in defence, but I’d back him to improve; he is a hard worker who focuses on his game. He was previously a terrible finisher and while still no DWZ, he is now very passable.

Great carries out of defence.

Mate how long has he been wearing that knee brace. For the first time since wearing it I noticed him favouring it a little. Is it something we should be worrying about?

Sorry couldn’t tell you. Knee braces seem to be par for the course though…

I'm hoping that it's not an old injury. Anyway, thanx for getting back to me, appreciate it.
