It hasn\u2019t been the greatest last couple of days <\/a>for the Tigers, but Bula\u2019s re-signing is sure to quell any pain for the club\u2019s passionate fanbase.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bula has put pen to paper on a new deal which will keep him at the club until the end of the 2030 season.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old has been one of, if not, the club\u2019s best players this season.<\/p>\n

The confirmation of Bula\u2019s extension comes a week after Tigers co-captain Jarome Luai announced he\u2019d be leaving at the end of the 2027 season to join PNG. <\/p>\n

There have been concerns over the past 12 months that Bula could head elsewhere. However, the Fijian international is loving what is building at the Tigers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really grateful for the opportunity to remain with the Tigers for the next four seasons,\u201d Bula said via a club-issued statement. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe culture and connection that we have as a group is special, and I\u2019m excited to be part of what we\u2019re building. I love being here and I\u2019m looking forward to growing my game under Benji and helping bring the Club success.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJahream is someone who brings a lot to our group on and off the field with his leadership and influence,\u201d coach Benji Marshall said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s humble, hardworking and a great character to have around. I\u2019ve really enjoyed seeing him grow in confidence and have great belief in what he can bring us over the next four years. We\u2019re so happy to have Jahream and his family remain with us until 2030.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Bulldogs were heavily linked to the talented No. 1 with Phil Gould publicly expressing his admiration for Bula.<\/p>\n

Even as recent as last week, Code Sports\u2019 Brent Read suggested contract talks with the Tigers had stalled.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think (a decision is fast approaching). They\u2019ve been locked in talks over an extension and it hasn\u2019t happened and that suggests to me it probably won\u2019t happen before the deadline in two weeks,\u201d Read said on NRL 360.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tigers have locked down one of the NRL\u2019s most prodigious talents with fullback Jahream Bula committing his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":412080,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[5636,204060,2647,79711,211861,37212,111,75636,139,69,9486,211862,138375,19545,213,2654,48518],"class_list":["post-412079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-benji-marshall","tag-contract-talks","tag-fox-league","tag-jarome-luai","tag-joint-venture-club","tag-lord-gould-of-brookwood","tag-new-zealand","tag-newcastle-knights","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-penrith-panthers","tag-prodigious-talents","tag-richmond-tigers","tag-signs-extension","tag-sports","tag-sydney-roosters","tag-tigers-v"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=412079"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412079\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/412080"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=412079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=412079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
