OPEN MARKET MOSES OR CUT-PRICE TIGER
CANTERBURY fullback Moses Mbye has a choice to make — take up an extra season at the Tigers, and a slight trim on his wages, or back himself to be worth more money when his current deal with Canterbury expires at the end of 2020\. Mbye is a victim of the former administration’s back-ended deals.
The Bulldogs don’t want to let him go, but through good form and his young age, Mbye looms as the only real player that clubs are chasing.
Mbye has a three-year deal on offer at the Tigers, which works out slightly less per season than the remaining two years he will get at the Bulldogs — which is worth almost $2 million.
The current Bulldogs administration have made it clear they won’t pitch in a significant deal for anyone to play against them — including Mbye.
So they won’t be low-balled or forced to make a decision like they had to with James Graham last year. And while they are under the cap next year, they still want to clear space as they look to field a more balanced squad.
Hopefully he takes on field results into consideration. We’re on the up with guys like him, and possibly Cleary junior on the way, while the Dogs are in quicksand with no end in sight.
