Official Moses Mbye signs till 2022..

[swag_tiger]

No mention on Bulldogs twitter about Mbye making the QLD team as 18th man.


I think there is a good chance we see him before june 30.

Poof*

 

[swag_tiger]

theres a decent chance he could be with us from Round 13, deal for remainder of the season could be done before next tuesday

What position would he play then?

Um, Fullback?

So Lolohea back to ISP.

How about Tui to centre, Marsters to lock, Taylor to second row and Alioia back to reserve grade?

Fingers in ears.

I also found earlier in the season not changing the game day undies worked…for a while

Everyone has lucky game day undies…... you’re strange if you don’t ?

I think you guys misunderstood..not change the undies until a loss…

Your embarrassing yourself with your vendetta against Alioia. Even questioning someones team selections saying Benji in for Alioia…lol...what does a 2nd row selection have to do with Benji not being in that person's team. Get a grip and get over your hate. Alioia is the best up and coming forward we have ever had.

How about Tui to be offered to other clubs

Subside money for a marquee second rower

I agree with you Teddy it’s just an opinion and I for one enjoy your valuable posts

Cheers mate, likewise

I suppose you could argue if $700k-$750k will be considered excessive 2-3 years down the track? It would obviously depend on the cap (assuming it will be going up), the players form at the time and the going rate for a player that is in form.

$750k might be considered average in 2 years time?

100% we don't know the figures or what they will be in 2-3 years time

But basing it on the current salary cap for me

I agree with Teddy about assuming player salaries based on journo reports. Most are usually close to the mark. However, I also like to base contract amounts on other other player signings so as to get a better “worth” perspective.

What I mean is the Tigers offered Woods, a prop, close to a cool $1M to stay. We signed Packer and Matulino for considerably less for each ($600-700k reportedly). We are allegedly paying $700-750k for a half/fullback (M’bye) so I see value in it.

While at it, Brooks is slowly increasing his market value from his current $550k contract. A lot of clubs are taking notice now so if we don’t sign Cleary jnr we will have to pay considerably more to keep Brooks next time.

I thought we had confirmation from a few in the know that journo figures are rarely close. They add on a couple hundred thousand to what's really being paid. I'm sure Yoss, Smoking gun and the Pom have all said this. Could be wrong.

KS again it’s all relative information. If I remember correctly we offered Tedesco >$1M to stay and Smoking Gun said that no way were the Roosters paying $1M under their cap - we all know what that means. Tedesco got his $1M one way or another.

Yeh but shouldn't all we care about is what comes out of our cap? That's what effects finances in regards to other signings. Anyway, my thoughts are whatever the media say, half it.

Now official, but no 2018 transfer unfortunately.

My comments are based on opinion and I stand by that

It's been reported all over this forum and by the media that Reynolds is on 750k a season, along with Mbye being on 700k for year 3 and 4 once again not saying these are the figures but I'm basing it on these numbers

Mbye and Reynolds together on a figure of 1.45 in there later years of the contract too are overs in comparison to what we could've got imo

Love Josh Reynolds's energy but mate he's been here for half a season and has already copped 2x 6 week injuries and played a total of about 50-60 mins in half a season, and there were question marks on his hammys when he signed…. I hope he carves up cause he seems like a guy you'd want around your club

Once again I'm gonna highlight the fact that it's my opinion and if you cant understand the fact that a public forum contains many different perspectives you shouldn't be on a forum if you can't accept that all us fans have the right to question the value of signings on this forum

You don't need to defend your right to an opinion, I respect that right, post as you please. There is a difference obviously between that right and my questioning the _content_ of an opinion.

I just don't get why people bother speculating about wages and relative value. Whatever has been reported, I am certain (my opinion) that the numbers are never accurate. It appears pointless, as do comments about relative value and "overs", because what do fans know about salary cap management.

I also don't get why people write up proposed sides each week, but that's just me.

The day the NRL decides to publicly release salaries of all rosters, well, then we have a genuine discussion point on our hands.

How about Tui to centre, Marsters to lock, Taylor to second row and Alioia back to reserve grade?

Fingers in ears.

Don't discount Tui going into hooker in the next few weeks. Seriously.

Doubt he could keep up with the ball to be a effective D/H…but he has the ball skills and can tackle

You sure…?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I'm happy with the signing, he can play. But really he's been in the same boat as Tui. Hasn't reached his potential, and hasn't been able to nail down one position. Is he a better player than Tui? Probably. But not by much.

I see Tui as our 14 next year and I think he would be very good at it. He would be a very good utility and we will have enough versatile players to make it work to cover hooker when Liddle needs a rest.
