State of Origin news and rumours: Moses Mbye becomes latest NRL millionaire

WRITTEN BYSPORTING NEWS

Each week, The Courier Mail's Pete Badel reports live from Red Hill to give us the latest team news, injury updates and contract sticking points for the three Queensland NRL teams. This week he's embedded with the Maroons in Origin camp to get exclusive insight on major news around some Origin stars and a big-name Bronco.

MOSES MBYE JOINS EXCLUSIVE CLUB
The Queensland utility is the NRL's next million-dollar player. It will happen on Sunday night when he runs out. He will attract $30,000 for the match and that will put him over the million-dollar mark. Currently, he's on a deal at the Wests Tigers worth $950,000 a season. He played in Origin I and earned the $30,000 match fee. Now with Origin II and it's associated match fee, he'll be a million dollar player.

He joins a very elite club with fellow Queenslanders Daly Cherry-Evans, Cameron Munster, Ben Hunt and Michael Morgan all making over seven figures. Some people will say he's not worth that, but he has played better football of late and has done well to make his debut for Queensland.

Makes the rumoured proposal to Latrell seem rather cheap...

Yet we still have people question whether or not we have cap problems when we were giving Mbye amounts like this!

 

[Moedogg]

Ridiculous that an average player who can't carry a team the way other marquee players do gets paid 950k. Absolute fraud.

 

[Sleeky]

This guy is a luckbox

FMD

Have no problems with the guy, but my bro is a Tigers supporter who's starting to sound just like I did when he played for the Dogs.

Frustrated, angry and occasionally "why don't we see that more often."

 

[Wahesh]

How did he even make the QLD team?

 

[TABOO]

Im undecided whether this is funny or depressing.

 

[Bulldogs09]

So you reckon mbye is worth 1mil? Latrell must be worth 4!

 

[Bulldogs09]

Im undecided whether this is funny or depressing.

Funny! We aren’t paying it!!!

 

[Blueandwhiteblood1968]

How did he even make the QLD team?

He owns his own camera crew.

 

[doggieaaron]

Better be doing something good with your money champ as it will be your last big deal bloody fraud

 

[TABOO]

Funny! We aren’t paying it!!!

Well we are paying a portion of it apparently.
Thats not what I was getting at though - It seems depressing that some guy who is all talk and half-assed efforts can make that kind of money playing footy, while the rest of us bust our asses in jobs we dislike for a fraction! haha

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

Mbye is worth nothing more than 350k, I really don’t see any good qualities in the bloke other then maybe speed. Very average player at best.

 

[Spoonman84]

How did he even make the QLD team?

Its only his utility value and very little depth in QLD that has him there.

He can play hooker and anywhere in the back line. He doesn't play them well mind you but he solves a lot of problems if a injury happens.

Im thinking the same thing only thing i can think of is the world has gone crazy.

If you believe the story thisnis the last year we pay any of it so I’ll take that with this trash season and the fact he’s off the books chewing no doubt 700k+
Off the tigers (he’s not worth half of that)

 

[_G-Dog_]

Not a fan of the myth myself.. but doubt he cares counting his squillions..

 

[Straight18]

Whoever dudbyes agent is they need to make a statue of the ****.
Mbye getting a million a season playing rugby league is a bigger scandal than the fine cotton affair.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Thoroughly deserved.

 

[Alan79]

He's got all the luck in the world. He's the type of person who'd fall between two pools of shit and land on silk sheets between two horny supermodels.
