OFFICIAL Moses Mbye [Discussion]

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Wow. He has been putrid all season, had a decent game on the weekend and now we think he is suddenly a star. Anything to get him off the books, but like with any contract negotiation, only do it if the price is right and we get compensated.

If the Dragons took on the entirety of his contract this year and at least half next year i'd honestly let him go. I know he played well last week but we do have options in the halves and one decent game doesnt make a season. We need to shift guys like him on these ridiculous contracts we may not have another golden chance like this. I would add on the proviso he didnt play against us in 2 weeks time, we all know how that could end.

I would be reluctant to let him go unless everything is in our favour...we have all spoken before how versatile Moses is to our team....many dislike him because of his huge salary,not his fault as we all know whose fault it is,but,on the weekend we saw just how well he plays in the halves and this is why Ivan bought him,to be a play maker,after Ivan cruelled us Moses was shoved from pillar to post....whatever happens I wish Mbye all the best in his future in the game....

I understand where you're coming from, and he is judged on his huge salary which as you point out isnt his fault Ivan and Pascoe to blame there. But if you have the chance to rid yourself of this bad contract and it means you take a bit of pain this year i think its worth it. We are hardly going to make a dent this year we all know its a write off. I hope with reguards to letting him go we are just playing a bit of brinksmanship to get them to take on a bit more of his salary. If he goes i wish him well then theres only Packer to see the back of

I say let him go.
Its the perfect opportunity to get rid
of a huge contract (thanx ivan).
If we have to pay half the freight then so be it.
It'll only be for the rest of this year and next year.
Keeping him will cost us more in the long run.

**St George Illawarra are in the market for a utility player but are unlikely to make a move for Wests Tigers player Moses Mbye.**

Dragons coach Anthony Griffin is understood to have met with Mbye last month after he was granted permission by the Tigers to speak with rival clubs for 2022, despite being under contract for one more season.


With hooker/lock Cameron McInnes ruled out for the season with a knee injury and a lack of depth in the centres, Griffin is keen to sign a utility player who can cover most positions in the backline and dummy half.

Another area of need is to recruit an experienced outside back for the remainder of the season after winger Jorden Pereira and second-rower Tyrell Fuimaono were forced to play in the centres in recent weeks.

Mbye has played fullback, centre, five-eighth and the role of bench utility for the Tigers this season and has previously filled in at hooker.

**However, discussions with the former Queensland Origin representative are believed to have stalled as the Dragons wanted Mbye this season and also baulked at his price tag if they were to sign him on a longer-term deal.**

Tigers coach Michael Maguire switched Mbye to five-eighth for last Friday night’s match against Newcastle and the move proved to be a masterstroke, with Adam Doueihi starring at centre and halfback Luke Brooks being heavily involved in the 36-18 defeat of Newcastle.

The Tigers are now just two points outside the top eight, while the Dragons face a test of character to hang on to sixth spot against Cronulla this weekend after losing four players – Josh McGuire, Tariq Sims, Tyrell Fuimaono and Mikaele Ravalawa – to suspension and fullback Matt Dufty with a shoulder injury.

**With former Manly and Sydney Roosters playmaker Jackson Hastings joining the Tigers next season, the club is willing to consider a release for Mbye but he remains a part of Maguire’s plans for this year.**

Dragons just signed Gerard Beale for rest of 2021 season
no need for mmbye this year now

The St. Gillawarra Broncos...😂

Forgot to add in my other post that we've told Moses that we'd pay up to 50% of his 800k salary.

This is crazy stuff.

Honestly St George rival us in the futile recruitment stakes.

Id say we have 1 over them in junior recruitment and also FG recruitment imo

 

[balmain boy]

Not sure how Beale prevents them from being interested in Mbye. Mbye to play hooker, and an emergency centre. Beale retired last year and is signed on a train and trial contract, would take a fair time to get match ready.

I reckon Madge is holding of two weeks until we've played Dragons again...

Yes! I can't believe the support for him because we won. He did nothing exceptional last week which was his best game for us. Yes he distributed the ball... Wow.

 

[Geo]

Well that de -escalated quickly..

 

[izotope]

Well that de -escalated quickly..

Still feel he will find a home somewhere at season's end. We will have to fork out 50% though

I'd love him to be in the Dragons' team against us. Instant game plan.

 

[TigerWest]

It all worked well with him at 6 last game, so worth continuing for the time being, imo.

We are a chance to sneak into the top 8 atm.

Nikorima brothers and Gillett out of retirement after that...

 

[clontarfkid]

Weve paid 60% of his salary this season anyway,so may as well hang onto him for the remainder of the year unless someone takes him off our hands for a sizable chunk of his 2022 salary...and not just a token offer
Hes an average 1st grader and worth around $400k,but we dont have a lot of genuine options in the centres this year(and maybe next)so its in our interest to hang onto him unless financially motivated to do otherwise
