Moses Mbye Super Duper Thread

[Pascoes_barber]

Just had a look at the dragons forum and they're saying that Mbye has signed with them for 2 and 1/2 year deal effective immediately.
Heard it on MMM from Brent Read he said it should be announced within the next 3 to 4 days

Curious, are the Dragons fans as excited about him moving across as we are?

Dragons reportedly lay law down to Tigers over Mbye
The St George Illawarra Dragons are reportedly on the hunt for Wests Tigers' utility Moses Mbye, but they have now made their position extremely clear.
He is either going to be in a Red V jumper by the transfer deadline at the start of August, or he never will be.
The utility has been linked to the Dragons for a mid-season switch, however, the Dragons aren't interested in waiting around.
Speaking on Triple M, The Australian journalist Brent Read has said the Dragons won't be taking Mbye's contract for next year unless they get him this year.
“They obviously looked at Mbye earlier in the year but it did not get any traction,” Read said.
“They’re looking at him again.
“They want him for the rest of this year, he has one year on his contract after that.
“It’s become a case of now or never. If he does not come now the deal is off the table.”
The Dragons are understood to still have roster spots available, given the sacking of Paul Vaughan, and the fact they haven't had 30 throughout the season. The Dragons have also lost Eddie Blacker and Shaun Sauni-Esau during the season.
Mbye has struggled to lock down a consistent spot at the Tigers, swapping positions in Michael Maguire's side and often playing from the bench.
While he had a strong performance last weekend against the Brisbane Broncos from the bench as the Tigers staged a dramatic comeback, it's understood Mbye is open to a move in an attempt to get his career rolling again.
The 27-year-old hasn't had the greatest time during his years at the Tigers, despite being a prized $900,000 per season recruit from the Bulldogs during the 2018 season, where he had played 94 games.
His 56 games at the Tigers have seen him bounce around the team, playing anywhere from fullback to centre, to hooker and the halves. While he has played for Queensland during that time, Mbye himself has acknowledged his form isn't where it needs to be.
It's understood the Tigers would need to pay a portion of Mbye's contract if he were to secure a change of club, with the Red V unwilling to fork out the total amount.
St George Illawarra are unlikely to use Mbye in a starting roll, given their dearth of young talent coming through, with all of Tyrell Sloan, the Feagai brothers, Jayden Sullivan and Junior Amone unable to get a starting position in the backline. However, with the Dragons struggling for a consistent bench utility, Mbye could slot into that role at the club with ease.

WT are probably going to have to stump up 350k or 400k to get this over the line

I think i'd be ok with that. Parting ways would be good for both parties.

I guess if we also back end the last year with leftover money
we pay 400k
Dragons 500k
deal done then we can back end our 400k from the balance of this year , say take another 200k off so next year we effectively pay 200k for Mmbye.
I think we can do this type of thing with the cap if we have some left can't we ?

Just a question Jedi...didnt Mbyes salary come down to about 750/800 due to the covid NRL changes ?

You have to love the Tigers maths on this place.
Finucane apparently isn't worth more than 500-600k, yet we expect another club to stump up 500k for Mbye?

So in Tigers maths Finucane = Mbye.

Goodness gracious me.

Where on earth will the dragons use him? Surely not in the starting 13...

And they should just get on and do it! Can't anyone make a hard (or any) decision in that place?

They said a definate 14 utility role,as they have some youth coming through ...

Just had a look at the dragons forum and they're saying that Mbye has signed with them for 2 and 1/2 year deal effective immediately.
Heard it on MMM from Brent Read he said it should be announced within the next 3 to 4 days

Curious, are the Dragons fans as excited about him moving across as we are?

theyre saying they'd rather have mbye there than norman.

Wait until he plays his first game for them.
It'd be worth joining their forum just to see the group realisation of what they've bought.

I've just returned from a fleeting visit of their forum and most are surprisingly upbeat about the idea. Certainly not as excited as most here though.

Much like us they’re probably clutching at straws.

 

[Guest]

So surely he doesn't play for us this weekend.
He puts in zero effort on his best day. Imagine what he'll be like if he knows he's leaving.

 

[Harvey]

Hopefully they swapped for Lomax

 

[WT2K]

Hopefully they swapped for Lomax

probably Gerard Beale if there's a swap

 

[Spartan117]

I don't feel sorry for Mbye, He has had a great income for 3 years now.

If he opts for the 4th then I see his "Good Will" and Value plummeting.

This is Good Move for Mbye, 7 days left.

**Make it happen Tigers Management.**

The 14 is also a good spot for him here, IMO. We get rid of him, who fills his role?

We carry Simpkin or someone on the Bench,

We will figure it out.

Mbye is good but NOT 900K worth of good.
