Mbye is the worst fullback in the competition

[gallagher]

I think we should have a look at Dylan Edwards. Down on confidence and looks like Cleary doesn’t want him.

No doubt he’d be our best fullback, kicks goals and could be a bargain.

Yeah, I'm a fan of him. As you said down in confidence atm but a super player.

Wouldn't say no to Joel Luani in Penrith Reserve Grade either

Have you seen Hetherington this year st all? He looked good last year.

Maybe we can trade Mbye for Edwards.

@TigerTiger

U mean Jarome Luai, right?

We already had Joel Luani and he sucked lol

One of the worst efforts by a captain i can remember.

Watching Matrell jog the last 20m to score with Mbye jogging behind made me sick. He feigned to tackle him at the last second to stop the embarrassment.

 

[Viva_Zapata]

@Hbom Absolutely ruined the game for me and my night. No heart. He needed to put his body on the line, maybe not to stop Latrell completely, but to force him to kick or step inside, with hopefully some cover scrambling in support. He had time and the side line to use to do it. Disgraceful.

Did anyone see Matterson giving him a mouthful shortly after when an attacking play went wrong? I’m sure he was pissed at him for that previous weak effort.

 

[Hbom]

@Viva_Zapata I didn't see that cos I was at the game. Ruined my night too. I was scathing.

His performance was nearly as bad as what Darius has been putting in each week,he needs to spend time in reggies captain or not

Big difference is the Broncos have 2 real good back ups in Milford and Isakko

Thompson has a set taller than he is but at best he is a 100 % toiler

 

[TrueTiger]

@jadtiger Mbye to reggies until he proves he is better than what he is dishing up atm.....

MATTERSON to CAPTAIN...all season with Rowdy when he is back...

 

[Russell]

@Newtown The only thing wrong with that is swapping Thompson NRL with Mbye CC.
Don't think the NRL will let you do that.

Someone had a dig at me a few weeks back when i suggested he was realistically bottom 4 as far as fullbacks went. Threw a few names up in the air to warrant his view. I'll stick to my views and suggest he's bottom for and sliding fast. We all make mistakes, and I think Madge has made a major balls up in making him captain. Suddenly, multiple leaders may not be such a bad idea. For the life of me, i can't see why a proven consistent performer isn't selected. Mbye has pretty much lost me - not only has a fullback.

 

[Matto]

You've even got people like Meaney, Nicolls-Klokstad, Brendan Elliot that are putting him to shame....making him look like a 5th grader

Madge a great man manager and Mbye is the type on field to do his own thing, not dissimilar to brooksy when tbh they’d be better served combining more often and setting a plan. As much as I hate to admit it though he’s only been bottom four due to a form slump and possibly that the specific fullback coaching received last year was better suited to him. He’s a great athlete and one of our most respected on & off field without many/any stars around him

I’d like to think he deserves our faith based on that alone not to mention the length of contract. What’s the good in sullying the captain? Lol

I wonder if people realise he could have easily scored a double in the last 15 mins against the Roosters? Denied by the post once and a great tackle on the second. After Liddle came on and we got some speed and directness to our attack both Brooks and Mbye looked a thousand percent better.

He was also a fullback for a team conceding 60% possession and 70% territory to the best team in the comp. The Roosters have easily the best halves combo in the comp and they picked us apart with pinpoint kicks from finishing each set 30m from our line. Every fullback in the league would have been massively tested in that situation. Mbye isn't in the elite bracket of fullbacks and so yes he struggled. Each kick was perfectly placed though. No other team can do this with the same consistency.

Defending the line he does need to improve his positioning and put his body on the line more. That's a skill he needs to learn quickly. The try the roosters scored under the posts should have been stopped. That said hodgo was rolled in that same position for most of his career yet everyone seems to think he was the world's greatest fullback.

Let's see what he does next week. Don't be alarmed when he's named at fullback tomorrow. Because he will be names at 1. Please let's not have a dozen threads popping up bashing him.

@IWasBornATiger shouldn’t we wait to see all of their teams fare against a firing Chooks team
It’s not as if you could say we played as a unit against them or deadset got any 50/50 calls..

Don't be silly, the decision to berate him was already made by many, regardless of any redeeming plays. Still, if he had not stood up last week, I would not be questioning their attacks either as he was poor for most of Saturday's match.

We got back in the game at 18-12 and his bad call to basically not either contest the bomb or then wrap up the player who did defuse the bomb is serious amateur hour stuff

No one questions he has a good running game when on , but his main focus (and the roosters ) was hammering him with high balls

And he missed 3 ....had 2 loose carries

But the original play ...was a game changer ....we probably had our best defensive set leading up to that play

This game was all going to be about hanging with the Roosters for as long as possible and as far as I'm concerned Mbye commitment to the biggest play in the game (as it turned out ) was pathetic

So you thought he should have anticipated the perfect midfield bomb and been standing 35m out? Or been able to out jump someone who's almost a metre taller than him all up?

No I'm telling as a person who played fullback for many years you make a decision one way or the other .....you either can reach the bomb or you tie up the man who is going to catch the bomb

He did neither .....that is amateur stuff .....don't you think

He was there ....you can't argue that .....and then does neither attempt to tie The roosters player up ....

If he gets thrown off ...those things happen .....but he doesn't even attempt to tie the new Roosters backrower up ....remember it was last tackle ....even if he had hung on for half a second he buys time for the players to get back
