OFFICIAL Moses Mbye [Discussion]

[tony soprano]

Lawrence looked ok at centre.

 

[Russell]

Everyone wants him dropped.... but WHO do you replace him with? We literally have no options for our backline at the moment. He will have to play no matter what.

Replace him with the wind....at least it would strike a blow.

Mbye has been absolute mud all year. I can't comprehend how he became the captain of this side, I've never once seen him add any value at all. His one redeeming quality has been his defence and that was pus tonight. Has to be first man out of the place. Put a for sale sign on him and get him out of here.

He has played 2 descent games this season, Bulldogs & Panthers but was ordinary prior and i heard he was carrying an injury prior, so thought was coming good.
Problem is we have a lot of not so smart footballers (All teams do) but he says the right things and has been educated, so talks the talk and the boys listen.
He certainly is a Yes man, our problem is that we have paid overs for him and he is here till 2022 what a great signing for him.
Nothing will change this season based upon our depth part of the reason we are not also a Top 8 side.

To be fair to Mbye.
Souths first try was off an unofficated obstruction.
Mybe came up to the line and Roberts at speed hit his inside shoulder.
Should of been a penalty to us.
If he is guilty of anything in that play it is for not falling down like a sack as what he actually does in a split second is attempt a tackle on Roberts.
If that went to the bunker I would say No Try.
Mbye does not come in to tackle Roberts he is hit by him at the line.

I really don't need to add to all the negativity but, like others, I need to get it off my chest. Mbye was worse than useless tonight. Worse because if he wasn't there we wouldn't have leaked so many points. The most frustrating aspects of his performance were that he didn't appear to either try hard or care. He looked disinterested. And no one's mentioned his totally ineffective hit ups from our end. Smashed and forced back every time. Why would you even direct him to take those runs - it made it even harder for the next runner. And the captaincy? Does anyone ever see him talking animatedly to the team behind the posts? As I said, the worst aspect was his apparent disinterest. You can't have a disinterested player, let alone captain. Finally, what a poor example and liability for the debutante. The young fella did well, given the lack of support or leadership inside him.

What about the captain's challenge last night? I know it wasn't successful, but Mbye showed no interest in challenging it, it took all of his teammates begging him to before he actually questioned it.

Was that his first challenge this season??

That was an astute observation. Yet more evidence that he's not interested.

Did any of you guys notice that when Hoffman got the try no one came anywhere near him to do the usual congratulatory stuff they do by jumping all over one another etc..l.I could be wrong but I didn't see it on tv anyway - if so that was a bit miserable:angry:

Raiders got pinned for that same obstruction last night.....but Storm got the rub of it

 

[Needaname]

And for Souths final try.
No obstruction call.
Only 1 bloody replay is shown.
No slowing down the tape.
Mbye is Cleary grabbed on the jersey by James Roberts who although runs at his inside shoulder but last minute I throws his arm out.
Quote is Mbye has made a defensive mistake. In this one he isn’t trying to make a tackle, he is trying to evade Roberts who is trying to obstruct him.

 

[ElleryHanley]

Never seen a captain so flat...he barely even goes through the motions.

Has to go.

Madge needs to explain the captaincy....he has to go.

 

[tigerbalm]

Who would take him?

[earl]

He has some really poor moments doesn't he. Poor discipline, dropped balls and no leadership.

Madge needs to explain the captaincy....he has to go.

They’re all crap, including the coach.

 

[Tcat]

C'mon mate, I'm normally up for Moses beating but pretty much the whole team needs to go.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Don’t point the finger at him for that. He didn’t appoint himself captain.

 

[jadtiger]

Supposed to be the highest paid player at the club and he would not be first choice in any position.Hopefully we can get rid of him he is terrible

 

[ElleryHanley]

Does not matter...play Walters.

Moses is just collecting his pay...his heart has never been in it after the Dogs offloaded him.

BUT you simply cannot let him captain the club any longer. Did not even put his body into that tackle...poked his kicks and barely cares...never put his body on the line for high kicks when he was FB.

Never says a word to the refs. His heart is not in it.

 

[Snake]

This is the scoop of the year and Brooks at the same time , watching him run and pass to anyone around him is pathetic!

 

[Sabre]

He can take a few with him as well

 

[ElleryHanley]

Don’t point the finger at him for that. He didn’t appoint himself captain.

Madge needs to explain it. The only thing I can think is Madge only wants one voice heard (his own) and thus a passenger for capt.

Gotta laugh. We are being smashed in the forwards, and can't complete a set to save ourselves and you guys want to get rid of the Brooks and Mbye.
