His best spot, by far, is 14.


Our big problems are he is captain 'and' on absolute elite level money.

If he was a bench player on 300, the perception of him would be really different.

Reality is he is nowhere near worth his pay. He hit the jackpot when he signed his deal. That is not his fault, but it is crippling us and will do for a couple more seasons.

This is a genuine question. Can we not ask him to consider a pay cut for the benefit of the team? Or is the not allowed within the rules of the cap?

Sure he can take a pay cut but you’d have to extend his years of service
 
1 AD - best option we have
6 Mbye - god knows we pay him enough, time to get something back
7 Brooks - He is here till the end of 23, and we are paying him to play HB
9 Liddle - Pray he stays injury free, he has so much to offer

14 Grant- unless he commits to us
 
Mbye did stink it up at the Dogs in the halves. He not a great organiser but is quite quick and would rely on his running game which is what Brooksy does. They are both left foot kickers. I do feel that fullback is his best position but his downfall is his safeness under the highball and his kick returns which he tends to get dominated. In my opinion, he does have superior support game to just about anyone in the team, is defensively competent (forgetting last game) and has adequate passing skills for a fullback. Basically nothing to write home about but can do a job.
 
Mbye was a useless half. In fact, he's been average to poor in every position he has played in first grade. Centre was supposed to be his true calling, but he's proving to be useless at that too. It seems when he is moved to a new position, he plays well for a bit, then his performances horribly decay after around half a season.

His time at fullback is case in point. He was killing it there for the Dogs, and did pretty well at the back end of 2018 for us. Come 2019, he was costing us so many points through dropped high balls. Madge eventually moved to centre, where he was performing admirably. 2020 rocks up and what do you know, he's bad again.

It seems the solution here is to change his position at the beginning of every season.

Doesn't take the opposition coaches long to work out his deficiencies in each position.

No. He just needs to be cut. He's toxic.

Matterson needed to be cut. He ran the risk of causing disharmony amongst the playing group. He was toxic. Mbye might not be worth his contract, and the club would probably be better off if he moved on, but I don’t think toxic is the word you are looking for to describe him.

Not toxic in the same way as Matterson, but in general his ultra laid back laxidasical and complacent attitude is the opposite of what he Madge is trying to establish. He's a career loser, we need to create a new culture of success, determination, grit and skill. His presence in the squad, especially due to his salary but even if he was on 200k his attitude would still need adjusting.

I have no doubt he's a professional in training but he just doesn't have what we desperately need
 
Hello Bulldogs han here.
Anyone remember when I was here two seasons ago warning you guys about Mybe?
Hilarious that he is screwing you guys almost as hard as he screwed us.
How long does his contract have to run?
I hope you guys have plenty of lube.

Should of listened to you dude.
 
I think Mbye is a half.

He is half a marquee worth half what he is currently being paid that other clubs would only be interested in if we are paying half his salary

Is nothing great, but maybe if you still had him you would have been able to avoid the spoon this year.

I hear you guys are in the market for some solid 1st graders.

Give us Faitala-Mariner and in return you shall receive:
Mbye, J Rey, Packer, McQueen, Taylor, Eisenhuth

6 for 1 deal. What a steal

DWZ was a great signing at $700k chief! At least the Bulldogs learned from their mistakes.

Wait a minute...

Yeah we used the lube for that Brooks field goal. Had to squeeze one out of him.
