These are the pictures and video that should have Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson and coach Benji Marshall nervous.
Sitting in the Canterbury-Bankstown members section during Saturday night’s epic win over St George Illawarra was Wests Tigers star fullback Jareem Bula.
Bula was spotted with agent Adam Brame, who works for Isaac Moses’ management agency, sitting near the families of Canterbury-Bankstown players.
In fairness, Bula is great mates with the Bulldogs’ newly-crowned No.7 Lachie Galvin who threw the match-winning pass under enormous pressure to seal the round 20 comeback win for Canterbury-Bankstown.

But where the concerns will arise for Wests Tigers boss Richardson is Bula is now being managed by the twice de-registered agent Moses.
Moses is the agent who dropped a bombshell on the Tigers mid-season and manoeuvred Galvin’s exit to the Bulldogs despite having 18 months to run on the young gun’s existing contract.
“We are not overly concerned,” Richardson told foxsports.com.au.
“Jareem’s got family with ties to the Bulldogs and he also attended the Parramatta game when Lachlan Galvin debuted for the Dogs ,”
Bula’s current contract with Wests Tigers runs until the end of 2026 and then has a mutual option in it for the 2027 season.
If the Tigers activate the option it will cost the club $900,000 for the 2027 season.
If Bula activates the option the contract is valued at $800,000.
The concern for the Tigers is Moses did not negotiate this deal and does not make a cent if either party chooses to activate the clauses.
Bula’s previous contract was negotiated by Liam Ayoub who is now working in recruitment at Canterbury-Bankstown.

The Bulldogs are more than happy with the form of current fullback Conor Tracey and have also signed highly-regarded fullback Kade Dykes for next season.
Bula watched the Bulldogs beat the Dragons before posing up for photos with Canterbury fans after the game.
The Wests Tigers will play the Gold Coast at one of the club’s spiritual homes Leichhardt Oval today.
