Penrith make enquires about former QLD Origin utility
He was previously coached by Ivan Cleary at the Tigers.
The Penrith Panthers have reportedly made enquiries about signing former QLD Maroons utility Moses Mbye as coverage in the halves after he last played in the NRL in 2023.
Aged 31, Mbye hasn’t been seen on the NRL field since the middle of the 2023 season, but that could soon change. It seems that the utility has gained attraction from at least one club, which has now been named.
After rumours emerged over the weekend and on Monday linking Mbye with a return to the NRL, Peter Lang from The Western Weekender has revealed that the Penrith Panthers have since made enquiries to bring him to the club as extra cover for Nathan Cleary.
It was previously reported that a Sydney club had asked the utility about a potential return to the NRL next season despite him still being contracted with St Helens for 2025.
The Panthers have one spot remaining on their Top 30 roster for next season, and Mbye is no stranger to Ivan Cleary, having previously played under him during his time at the Wests Tigers.
MBYE A PANTHER?
There’s speculation that Moses Mbye could be on his way back to the NRL from the UK Super League.
I’ve heard from a source that Penrith have made enquires about bringing Mbye to the Panthers as extra cover for Nathan Cleary.
