After experiencing his breakthrough season with the Wests Tigers, Jahream Bula claimed he was on the verge of tears when he learned that future Immortal Greg Inglis wanted to be his mentor.
Inglis reached out to Bula ahead of the upcoming season to assist him avoid off-field issues and concentrate entirely on what he can do to be the best version of himself since he understands precisely what it’s like to be hailed as a future great of the game.
When Inglis was a teenager at the Storm, he was “the next big thing,” so he had to deal with that. For guidance in keeping himself grounded, he turned to David Peachey and Preston Campbell.”He’s helped me learn how to say no,” stated the 2023 player of the year for the Tigers.
Many people, especially those who are close to you, are requesting things from you.
“Just learn to say no,” he added.
Even though Bula, 22, is only 18 games into his NRL career, players like Nathan Cleary, who was the beneficiary of an incredible try-saving tackle during their match in Bathurst last year, have heaped accolades upon him.
The Fijian fullback, who helped bring the two together in a tiny way, was one of the Tigers’ few bright spots last season, and he will only get better under new coach Benji Marshall.”He’s helped me learn how to say no,” said the Tigers’ 2023 player of the year.Although Inglis won’t be directly involved in the Tigers’ season, there’s a good chance the young guy could be the spark they need to finally shine bright if he can apply some of his unparalleled skills to Bula’s game.
Marshall remarked, “I haven’t had much to do with Greg personally, but he and Jahream have a really good relationship.”
He’ll be fantastic for Jahream in terms of off-field matters, but they probably remind me of each other off the field since they’re both pretty quiet men who don’t enjoy talking too much.
Although he won’t become overly involved in what we’re doing on the field, having him around will be beneficial.
You are being asked for items by a lot of people, particularly those who are close to you.
He went on, “Just learn to say no.”
Players like Nathan Cleary, who benefited from an amazing try-saving tackle during their match in Bathurst last year, have showered Bula, 22, with praise despite the fact that he has only played in 18 games of the NRL.
One of the few bright spots for the Tigers last season was the Fijian fullback, who inadvertently helped bring the two together. Under new coach Benji Marshall, he will only become better.
