Bula was named to make his debut on 22 April, with coach Tim Sheens saying, "He's athletic, he plays the position well, he's only young but a good kid. I just want him to play his natural game. I don’t expect him to win us the game, I just want him to do his job."[3] Starting at fullback, Bula was among those who were awarded Dally M points as one of the best players in the game.[4]
