Moses Mbye has been offered the chance to join the Dragons immediately, yet Wests Tigers<\/a> may block the move despite wanting him off the books for next season.<\/p>\n

That's according to Sydney Morning Herald<\/em> rugby league reporter Michael Chammas, speaking on Nine's 100% Footy. <\/em>Mbye is being pursued as a bench utility, despite being on an $800,000 per season contract.<\/p>\n

"He's been shopping himself around for 2022. The Tigers gave him permission to look around [for] next year," Chammas said.<\/p>\n

"Now, the Dragons have expressed interest. They met with Moses Mbye and they've said to Moses, 'We could make you an offer, as long as you're willing to come right now'.<\/p>\n

"Now, I think you'll find that his management has reached out to the Tigers to see if Moses Mbye could leave immediately. The Dragons want him as early as this week.<\/p>\n

"But I think after last week, what we saw from the Wests Tigers, there's a reluctance from the club to let him go. That's a bit of a risk because I think you'll find privately, they do want Moses Mbye off the books for next year; but if they're not willing to take this offer from the Dragons right now, I think it's off the table."<\/p>\n

Chammas said that Wests Tigers were prepared to pay $400,000 of Mbye's contract at another club for next season.<\/p>\n

"I think the Tigers have said to Moses Mbye they're willing to pay up to half of that next year," Chammas said.<\/p>\n

"I don't think this year though because they're two points outside the eight."<\/p>\n

Mbye has played State of Origin for Queensland but has struggled to justify his hefty price tag at Wests Tigers; a fact that he's openly admitted. He has shuffled around in the Tigers line-up, playing five-eighth in Friday's win over Newcastle.<\/p>\n

Wests Tigers are 13th on the NRL ladder but just one win from eighth place, while the Dragons are running sixth under new coach Anthony Griffin.<\/p>\n
