The Wests Tigers<\/a> have pulled off one of the most significant retention coups of the season.<\/p>\n According to The Sydney Morning Herald, star fullback Jahream Bula<\/a> has agreed to a multi-million dollar deal to remain at the club long term, ending months of fevered speculation about his future.<\/p>\n The 24-year-old, widely regarded as one of the most electrifying young talents in the competition, had been circled by rival clubs and fuelled no shortage of boardroom anxiety at Leichhardt.<\/p>\n SMH has also learned that an official announcement is expected this week.<\/p>\n The timing couldn’t be more poignant.\u00a0<\/p>\n Just days after the gut-punch news that leader Jarome Luai<\/a> would be departing for the PNG Chiefs<\/a> from 2028, the Tigers have responded with a statement of intent by betting their future on the fullback, who many believe is already a superstar in the making.<\/p>\n Club insiders told SMH the deal is a mega-deal spanning several more years, and in an organisation long lampooned for dysfunction, it represents a striking show of strength of the Tigers’ management.<\/p>\n
