OFFICIAL Moses Mbye [Discussion]

[hsvjones]

He's left in a pretty classy manner. Not sure he deserves some of the comments people have thrown at him...

Agree, If he was on like 400-500k most fans would have no problem with him as he covers a lot of positions. Our mistake giving him massive overs.

At least he is going out with class. We paid $600K+ for Packer to sit on the sidelines for the last 3 years. Haven't heard a peep from him all year.

I give Mybe credit at least he was honest tonight in the interview on ch9.

Subtle digs at the club if you read between the lines….whoever negotiated his $800-900k salary deserves a medal…he has been a dud buy only cause he never lived up to his salary….had he been on his true value $300k…there would be no negative noise…..

Tamou was meant to be one of those players but he’s been a massive flop.

This is why I don't like that approach. Tamou to me isn't that bad mainly because we aren't paying him that much.

I agree we probably need 3-5 players to improve significantly. Ideally we'd get what you are stating but we'd probably end up with more plodders, a dodgy salary cap and then lose players like Stef.

This is a weird read to me. Hoping could be out of context?

Madge gave him the captaincy and because they weren’t developing or progressing, he felt like a hinderance?…it’s like he just put his hands up in the air and went oh well that’s all I’ve got?

Are drag queens fans happy with mbye Signing

The NRL.com article says Mybe is selfless for leaving the tigers.

But he's still on close to $1m next year - with WT paying a fair wack of that for him to play off the bench for someone else.

Selfless would of been to forgo what WT owed him for next year.

Not saying he should do that - but I don't think he's selfless either.

Half way through a $3.5m contract and decides he’s just not good value. Honest but didn’t offer to give anything back.

He will go well at the dragons in the number one or six & prove many people on this forum wrong.

Well why in the hell - didn't he do it here!!!!!!

By your comment then he must have been tanking.

Just a soft money sponge.

He was not given the opportunity here with Madge he kept on playing him in different positions & off the bench I’m pretty sure Griffin will put him in one position & that’s why he will excel there & the way Madge gave the captaincy to Tamou over Mbye was disgraceful no wonder why his heart was to play elsewhere & not at the tigers good luck to him & I for one hope he plays well he is definitely a top 17 & was not his fault that our club paid overs for him.

Completely speculating, but by Madge giving him the captaincy he was basically saying you have an opportunity to live up to the price tag. Its mbyes choice to leave rather than suck it up and work harder with the responsibility. It probably backfired on us because it took so long yo find a home for him.

IMO, mbye although probably an ok guy in person, has at the same time got some toxic qualities for a professional team player. He may work out better surrounded by different personality types and I wish him well.

Onwards and upwards!

I don't think any player will ever do that ever 😂

Connor Watson signed for 300 odd.

He actually contributes to his team, and you're valuing a hinderance to any team, a bloke who refuses to run, at 500k.

You cannot be serious.

No person in any profession would do that. If they did they’d be the stupidest idiot ever.

Tom Brady has been outside the top 10 paid quarterbacks for years. Different sport but works ok for him.

No No No... You have over thought this as I was more talking about how he has been treated over the last few years and if he was on a lower salary he would not be getting this focus he is.

I put a comment just an hour ago in S&S thread about how I cannot believe how Watson only got 350k offer from knights and that i would of offered him 450 as he is excellent. So if we had a choice now it would be Watson hands down but that decision on Mbye was 3 years ago which makes it even worse.

He’s getting paid over $25m a year and has about a gazillion dollars in endorsements. Hardly comparable to an NRL player.

He’s also never foregone a penny from an existing contact to play elsewhere.

I don't blame him for that, I don't know anyone that has or would give money back to a club for "not giving value for money"...deep down he has been laughing at us for the last 3 years getting paid more than top surgeons do in a year.!......
