Is 'The Bull" the Most improved player in NRL

[maxta]

Well played Bullemore !
The Silvertails tells a story of a bloke who has been damaging in recent times and deserves the accolades.
Had the attributes, but lacked effort early days at Manly, but credit where due, has a big motor and is quite fast, plus he is hitting harder defensively and post contact metres are a standout as he often bends the line and wins momentum for Manly.
He has to be 1 of Manly's "Most improved" player's and just maybe "Most improved" in the NRL, based on his start to 2025....what's the thoughts ?

Could well play for QLD this year

I agreed Maxta, the way Bully's been playing, he reminded me off CHOC Watmough. Wasn't one of my favorite before but now a different player, much bigger runs harder looks like loving his footy again. Wasn't even in my top 15 couple of years ago but now maybe top5 for sure. Anyone know why he can't play a full game maybe put Burbo on the bench.

No bull **** detected

 

[Eagle 1]

Bullimore not signed yet is a bit concerning. Surely this can't be to far away ?

One of the main reasons why we're letting Cherry go.

Bully is getting upgraded.

Just warn us if you find out he'll be doing a guest spot on Channel 9

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Losing Bully would make no sense. He's exactly the type of speedy, mobile forward we need more of, not less of.

 

[southsideeagle]

One of my favorites. How many years before we learn to spell his name right. Far way off yet.

Get it done Mestrov ..The fans have spoken .

If that happens, we may be without 5 players (Turbo, Jake, DCE, Oka & Bully) for all games prior to SOO. Note - we do not have any byes in the game prior to each SOO. How is that a level playing field???

Over to you NRL!

 

[Dion Johnson]

Watching him in the two trials and the first four games he is running harder at the defensive line, he has had good leg speed and footwork for a while.

He definitely stands out from any other middle forward the club have played this season, with Paseka and Haumole having signed contracts with longevity in them I hope Bully snags a four year deal.

 

[Disco]

I think Bully will be more extended squad for QLD rather than 17....but a few injuries and he could be right in there.

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

Agree, he is a deadset certainty for the training squad.

 

[Rackets]

Better get it done soon before he gets picked for SOO, otherwise his price will go up.

Mate I’d have him next to Olakau’atu 100%. I think he can develop into a beast 2nd rower for Manly. I’m not too excited by Brbo but I think he’d be a good lock forward.
I’ve thought long & hard about our current forward pack & rotation & not sure what the best lineup would be but I’d like to see the following at some stage maybe:
Paseka
Simpkin
Taukeiaho
Olakau’atu
Bully
Brbo
Res: Talau, Jrbo, Aloiai, Brown
(Sips, Tevaga, Waddell, Patolo, Navale)
Backs:
Trbo
Saab
Garrick
Koula
Lehi
Brooks
DCE??

He runs even faster without that superfluous “e” on the end 😉
