Wests Tigers captain Moses Mbye is reportedly free to leave the club as it struggles to break a decade-long finals drought.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Wests Tigers would be prepared to pay half Mbye's $800,000 per season salary for the next two years if he was offloaded to a rival team, with the Gold Coast Titans interested.

Mbye is a Queensland State of Origin representative but is a big-money player in a team that looks doomed to again miss the finals. The Herald reported that the Tigers were also trying to offload Josh Reynolds, who is on a similar salary, to a Super League club.

Mbye was made captain by coach Michael Maguire last season but Benji Marshall was made co-captain this year. Maguire has clearly been frustrated by his team's sluggish progress and is looking to refresh the roster.

Key to the club's thinking over Mbye, according to the Herald, is their hooker situation.

On-loan No.9 Harry Grant would become a free agent if Cameron Smith extends his career at Melbourne; or Brandon Smith may become available if Grant returns to the Storm as their first-choice hooker.

Mbye has been discussed as a hooker or five-eighth by the Titans. Having joined the Tigers in mid-2018, his versatility has been somewhat counter-productive to cementing a permanent, specific role in the team.

Now this is what i call clearing out the deadwood at the Club, i suspect he will try harder this week as now playing for a contract at another club.
Well done MADGE it shows you have the long term interests in place and know who is performing, will now put pressure on other players off contract in 2021.

wow didn't realise we paid that much for Moses.

I can see why we're struggling on the pitch, positive is the tigers are trying to start over again and getting rid of guys like Packer; Reynolds et al and their massive contracts

A move that only a coach building for the future and one he wants to be a part of would make.

I can hear the "Hallelujah chorus" reverberating in my head and i am not even religious.I might turn up the volume

I reckon it's a Super Duper idea

 

[Aesopian]

Freeing up 400K to not play Mbye is how I read this. Gosh that's a sweet deal.

Can I just say "Lock it in Eddie"

Great news. When's the Bye Mbye get together?

Hard to say. Could be Concord, Campbelltown, Leichhardt, Ashfield, Liverpool(Future home maybe), Homebush, Bankwest...

Then again all of them could be booked solid and we'd be hosting at the SCG members bar

People can talk about Madge all they like , but when you have Mbye on $950k, Reynolds on $800k , packer on $700k and McQueen on $400k, plus the salary cap penalty of $300k. That’s over $3million dollars of your cap and not getting much in return.

Matulino was on big money last year too. Did well to free that up with a sneaky medical retirement

The retirement no one thought we’d get approved cos apparently the NRL hates us.

People still complained about it too. I reckon we got a bit lucky getting him off the books.

Madge tried the same with Russell too ? he probably beat up the surgeon who fiches his foot
