Mbye the worst player to ever play for Wests?

[Demps]

Really unfair of Mbye here

**How he's treated our club has been unfair.**

He's easily top 5 worst players we've signed in the last 10-15 years.

Imo there Demps, totally, right on. He doesn't seem to care, he nor Packer how crippled their contracts have left our club. Our own fault for doing the contracts sure, but they have a responsibility to try and make it work.

Maybe MBye has been (he seems to be having more of a go then Packer but maybe Packer's injured? idk) but it does appear to not have been a big enough effort from an outsider's point of view.

Packer is having a laugh aye.

These guys are disgraceful imo.
Strong believe in, "If you do something, do it the best you can"
These pair have never shown any interest.

Ivan can only be blamed so much.
I hope we learn from this and only recruit players who are willing to put in.

Did you hear on here a few months ago, a poster posted that an ex-player (of pretty decent calibre) approached Packer whilst Russell was in Reserves offering advice on how he can get back to First Grade. Packer's response was of thanks but no thanks, I'm right thanks.

I knew it's all rumours, but fair out, can you just imagine that??

That's not a rumour - Packer is a lot of things - an idiot is not one of them, he's a realist and knows his career is coming to an end, hence all the study he's done over the past few years - he'll walk into some type of business management role next year.

Yep got his MBA. Had plenty of time to do his assignments while injured.

Won’t be getting a job with his jail record mate. That wasn’t drink driving, that was legitimate assault

So you’re telling me no one who has been properly rehabilitated with a degree can get a job?

I don't think the initial comment is always factual.

I know guys who have done 15 years on drug charges and now work in schools and juvenile prisons, mentoring youth.

Also seen interviews on YouTube where former bra boys explain how they can't get a job because of their charges. Saying they can't can't get truck driving jobs because they can't qualify for dangerous good licences with criminal charges on record.

Kinda hard to get clarification but I think it's a person to person assessment.... I believe Packer would be able to get around a few times and find employment somewhere.

What do you think about this @willow ?

I’m no expert, but I think the only crime that would really hold you back post incarceration would be any kind of sex crime. Particularly involving a child.

100%
I was thinking the same.

As you probably know, when you do a working with children check... some things may now show like driving convictions and other smaller things.

Whereas anything related to a child will be flagged. AVO with children involved or more serious crimes.

I don't think Packer's charge will hold him back, other than when he couldn't get a visa to play in the UK. May be wrong though.

Well, if I saw a guy or woman with a charge on their file, it would be an immediate red flag. And if I knew it was assault, I’d be getting rid of him. Plus, in the corporate world, his tattoos are going to be a turn off especially for any legal companies.

Your opinion is probably shared by many others, regarding the assault charge being a red flag.

I'm not defending it by any means, just sharing some things I've seen....

Tattoos though, common stuff these days.
From police to ambulance drivers etc etc.
Wouldn't be that big a deal to many companies.

Pathetic thread. The man can play not he's fault we paid him too much and haven't found his position. Stuff like this makes this forum a sad place to be

Comments like this that ignore the thread title make this a sad place to be.
His income is irrelevant and not the subject of the thread.
His performance has set a new low in effort levels.
The man can play? Give it a rest, he never tries to play.
All the other nuff nuffs mentioned in the thread had a crack at some point., even Packer.
Won't run. won't put his body on the line in defence..........worst player ever.

Anasta/Tamou then daylight

Anasta/Tamou then daylight

Ballin, Blair & Moses

That's the top 5.

What have you done lately mate?

 

[twentyforty]

Mbye is no doubt talented but not sure hes anywhere close to the worst player. What makes him good at either 1 or 6 is his strong aversion to getting tackled. hehehe

This is the only sensible comment I've seen in 9 pages.

Thanks mate can't believe how catty this place can be.

 

[TigerWest]

There are not many players who can play anywhere in the backline and cover the 9 as well?
I believe most can’t get past his pay packet?

 

[OzLuke]

He's not even in the worst 5 players in the starting side.

In no particular order

Nofo
Talau
Leilua
Liddle
Tamou

Over the longer run.

Anasta,
Blair,
Fitzhenry,
Harris,
Tandy,
McDonnell,
Crockett,
Morris,
Ryan

no o'hara??
Suli was a massive dud for us too

 

[Depressed]

I think Mbye has had plenty of good games.

I also have vague memories of Jacob Miller but I can't remember if he was that bad, or just not quite up to NRL.

 

[Papacito]

Not sure how you could be the club's worst ever player but also play three state of origin games?

 

[Joelcainenumber1fan]

avg age on he must be very young
there was a lot of bad players between 01-03
mbye is probley better than most of them

Haha he was pretty bad too...

He tried though.
Was just overweight and lacked ability.

Surely bad for team morale...

The other boys seeing one of the highest paid players dishing the same weak, lazy, garbage up each week....

Absolutely, he’d be one of the main causes of the lack of effort and poor attitude. Why should they put in? Mbye doesn’t and he gets paid a motza. Very bad example set there.

Doesn't seem right.

Just checked, he played 14 games.
