Jahream Bula has brushed off suggestions he could be the next player to want out at the Wests Tigers, with the fullback reiterating he is “happy” at the club.
In the wake of the Lachlan Galvin saga, which will see the five-eighth leave at the end of next season, Bula’s name was quickly thrown into the rumour mill.
The 23-year-old is also managed by the controversial Isaac Moses, who has been at loggerheads with the Tigers for many years, leading to speculation he could suggest a future for the Fijian international at another NRL team.

But speaking to media on Thursday, the fleet-footed Bula was quick to squash it.

“I’m happy at this club – I don’t really want to talk about that stuff,” he said.
“I don’t really listen to the outside noise. They love you when you’re up, they bash you when you’re down – but I don’t really listen to that stuff.
“I listen to the people that have earned the right to say their opinion to me.”

Bula has become one of Benji Marshall’s most potent attacking weapons and is already signed with the Concord-based outfit until the end of 2027.
The recent issues involving Galvin – which included senior players being offside with the wantaway youngster before his successful return in round nine at Leichhardt Oval – haven’t appeared to weigh on Bula.
“I love the kid – we’ve got a good relationship and it’s one I’ll cherish forever,” he said.
“He’s a very resilient kid and it showed when he played that game how resilient he is, especially after that tough week.”
The side will take on the Dragons on Saturday night at Magic Round.
