There is a flicker of something special every time Jahream Bula catches the ball in space at the back of the Wests Tigers’ defensive line. The acceleration is instant, the attacking flair unmistakable, and when he finds the gap — as he increasingly does — the try-line seems to rush toward him rather than the other way around. Bula has become a fan favourite at Concord, a dynamic young fullback whose speed and instinct mark him as a future representative player. His development under Benji Marshall’s coaching has been impressive, the raw talent being channelled into something consistent and dangerous.
