Rising NRL superstar Jahream Bula set to sign multi-million dollar deal to stay with Wests Tigers
Wests Tigers fullback Jahream Bula has agreed to terms on a multi-million dollar deal to stick with the club.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald's Danny Weidler, Bula has been on the radar of a number of clubs, but has committed to stay with an announcement expected in days.
Bula was contracted until the end of the season and had a player option in his favour.

Weidler described the rising superstar's new contract as a "mega deal", and a huge boost for coach Benji Marshall.
The signing comes just days after they were informed that co-captain Jarome Luai would be departing for the PNG Chiefs in 2028, on a deal that would make him the highest paid player in the NRL.
Luai's departure reportedly helped free up money that made negotiations with Bula easier.
The 24-year-old is managed by Isaac Moses, which led to concerns about whether he would stick with the Wests Tigers, given his reported strained relationship with Marshall.
