Star rookie’s staggering $2.7m rise as Tigers make massive move in big Benji boost
Despite the club collecting back-to-back wooden spoons the emergence of Bula was one of the rare victories for the Tigers in season where the club notched only four wins.
Bula, 21, scored five tries in 18 games and along with captain and hooker Api Korisau the fullback was consistently among the club’s best players. Bula was initially only on a development contract outside of the Wests Tigers top 30 this year before the club opted to upgrade his contract in order for the fullback to make his NRL debut in round eight this year against Manly.But after announcing himself as a star and given the Wests Tigers have got money to spend under the salary cap it makes sense they upgrade and extend Bula even further.
Bula’s career has followed a similar path to Wests Tigers new head coach Benji Marshall moving from New Zealand as a teenager to attend Keebra Park State High School on the Gold Coast.
