Last week I was chatting with Tigers coach Tim Sheens about Jahream Bula and he cautioned me (saying), "You haven't seen anything yet - wait until the kid plays on a dry track".Sheens pointed out that the youngster's two NRL games to date were in wet and slippery conditions, making it hard for him to shine.Well, Bula got his dry track in Magic Round yesterday - and was dynamic.The promising fullback ran for 180 metres but his defence was the real eye-catcher - he produced three try-saving tackles and was the difference between the Tigers and a sloppy Dragons side.Bula looks a real prospect and is one of a host of youngsters Sheens and Benji Marshall have pencilled in for NRL in the next couple of seasons.The Tigers have now recorded back-to-back wins for the first time since April 2022 - and things are suddenly looking much rosier at Concord.
