The Tigers are reportedly hesitant to extend star player Jahream Bula's contract, with the club seemingly unwilling to activate the mutual option for 2027. Bula, who is currently set to earn around $700,000 in 2026, could potentially increase his salary to $900,000 if both parties agree to the mutual option. However, according to the SMH's Michael Chammas, the Tigers may not be willing to trigger the option at this stage. This decision comes as Bula's agent, Isaac Moses, seeks expressions of interest from rival clubs, indicating a potential departure from the Tigers. Moses also represents Lachlan Galvin, who recently forced a mid-season exit from the Tigers to join the Bulldogs. The Tigers' reluctance to activate Bula's option could be attributed to the club's financial constraints or a strategic move to rebuild their roster. The situation highlights the complex dynamics between players, agents, and clubs in professional sports, where personal relationships and financial considerations often intertwine.
