OFFICIAL Moses Mbye [Discussion]

[Spartan117]

Not Mbye's fault that Ivan Cleary panicked and paid Super overs.

I really respect Moses Mbye for his honesty and I really am hopeful that he and the club will find a mutually beneficial outcome.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Like others, I am impressed with the way that Moses has handled things. Very professional.

He has acknowledged that he hasn't been able to lock down a position and as a result the club is not getting value for money and that results in the club and he not getting what they want out of his contract.

I wish him the best and hope that he finds his feet elsewhere.

Out of that Mbye and Packer money, we desperately need to ensure we find a good backup half and a quality winger.

Honesty? Admitting to having an opportunity over 4 years to play in accordance to expectations and not doing so? I think every player of every club would share that level of honesty. I want to admire the guy, I really do. I see only his game and for the most part I thought he was better than we saw?

Wish him the best of luck. Have always found him a great club ambassador and I actually hope he gets the same chance as Corey Thompson did (with Titans) - the best possible outcome for he and his young family.

I don’t blame Mbye. Maguire is jeopardising our season by not picking the best players due to their pay packet that’s why he did not put him in the leadership group which I thought was very harsh. Mbye is a much better player than Kepaoa & should be playing in the centre’s he has played there for Queensland so surely he should be playing there for the Tigers who are a bit short of centre’s & Talau for mine has played better on the wing & should be playing in that position with Jake Simpkin on the bench. Another example is Russell Packer who really has not had that many opportunities to prove himself due to his pay packet while Luke Garner who would be on much less money is still given more chances even though his performances have not been that great for a while he did the same with Josh Reynolds overlooking him for Benji so then he would leave which is what happened. Maguire should just pick the best players he has available now & so we can make the semis.


I don't know what games you have been watching but I disagree with just about every player assessment you have made.

Mate if you think Kepaoa is a better player than Mbye I don’t know what game you are watching
All I’m saying is that Maguire wants to make room for new players & is trying to get rid of the players who are on big money which is not their fault yet they are the ones being punished with his selections it is Ivan Cleary & the club’s fault for signing them.

Mbye isn’t a winger. Mbye is barely a Center. Can’t catch the ball so no good at Fullback either. Mbye’s best position is out of the team or if I’m being generous the bench, trouble is he is a poor dummy half substitute as well. Once a few more of the NSW Cup boys are ready Mbye wouldn’t even make first 17.

I like Mbye but where do you play him. He hasn't looked good at dummy half although he may pick the role up. He can play centre but I can understand picking Talua ahead of him. Mbye is better defensively and that is important but Talau is young and needs experience. Mbye can't play on the wing or fullback because he drops too many high balls.

Mbye,who allegedly played last year with 15 bone fragments in his knee contrary to his managers wishes,is arguably the best centre we have in the club rite now,but still is just an average NRL level player and his real worth about half of the $800k were paying him
He shld be playing 1sts this week,and Kapoa squeezed out(who will be hammered by Eels )
Mbyes manager has seen JRey receive half of his final years payout to leave a year early and probably figures he cld get the same for Mbye....will be an interesting negotiation
For mine,JRey was at end of his career and unemployable in NRL,which isnt same for Mbye who will be snapped up but not at $800k

 

[THE_POM]

It's no coincidence this has come up the same time Hastings talk has ramped up again.
Believe there is a club who reached out to Mbye's management which prompted this request, him leaving this yea isn't out of the realms of possibility.

 

[TrueTiger]

The 2 most bashed guys that were/are under contract with the WTs ...J Rey and Moses...have both been classy in their moving on or wanting to move ...
Irrespective of their huge money deals,at the time both were applauded by many,some disagreed but they were signed...
I liked J Rey as a person who did his best everytime he played for us,even under the public hummiliation a woman put him through as well as injuries he aquired...
Moses has always been shoved in different positions because of his versatility and in my opinion has done his best and always had the clubs and teams interest at heart...both were origin players...
compare these 2 guys to JA,Matto and Slimey for example,they never publicly spoke badly about the club,always represented the club well and neither of them ever TANKED.....

 

[TonyTiger]

At least he’s honest can’t ask for more than that still can’t see many teams lining up for him.

Most likely already has a club lined up, otherwise wouldn't be asking.

It opens the door for all clubs both NRL and ESL.
Classy way to go about things.

Not like Matto or Josh chucking the sulks whilst having a deal on the side ready.

What’s classy about leaking stories to Buzz denigrating the Tigers Medical staff over treatment of a knee injury?
He’s a barnacle on our hull - scrape him off !

Mbye’s manager has approached the Titan’s (blamed the Tigers for shopping him around),Bronco’s & even the Dolphin’s during the off-season why is he only asking for permission now, hopefully a deal is on the table.

I'd respect him even more if he gave half the dough back.

Was thinking the same.

For the life of me i cant work out which club would give him the minutes he is after.

Probably a coincidence, that it comes out just as cowboys management fly into Sydney as well.

They definitely need a half . With Morgan medically retired , and Clifford off to newy . Plus he’s a Queenslander , and that shouldn’t count for anything , but up there it does .

 

[tiger_scott]

Mbye was highly rated by the Bulldogs, with comparisons being made to the great JT. They didn't want to let him go, only to be left with egg on their faces like they did with him (Thurston). I think our head office got caught up in the hype, thinking that we'd managed to pry him away. A 'JT' would be a difference maker at any club.
It is now obvious that he is not the next JT, but it's certainly not his fault that his value was increased due to comparisons with a player from the past.
Perhaps the next part of the story will be him going to the Cowboys and fulfilling the destiny bestowed upon him by club officials when he first hit the scene.
He's a quality player and a quality human and I hope he finds the right spot in the right team.

 

[JayT]

Some kind of beneficial trade for Corey Oates?

 

[Deleted member 3518]

I think he’s been class , and a good leader around the club , if not on the field . His best position is definitely 6 , which means , if he’s your 6 how far are you really going . He’s been blessed both at the dogs and here , with desperate clubs paying elite money for a slightly above average player. And it looks like with the cowboys circling he’s going to be blessed again , as they are totally screws if they don’t sign someone of quality yesterday . The Morgan noise is legit , as it has been for every other player not named Packer , related to a medical retirement . Do they have a winger we can get , who’s of first grade quality ?

Would they do it though ? He’s the only guy in thier backline , who’s really worth anything . But yea you’d take the hammer in a heartbeat . These rumours about Valentine being unhappy , would be worth investigating , I’d take him for 500-600k . We definitely can afford it .especially with Joey gone next year .

 

[Blake]

Mbye could be a reasonable 6 or 7 playing on the left side of the field. It would mostly depend on the other players in the spine. Like Chad Townsend and Blake Green he could offer control and experience if the others in the spine were young and creative.

Dear Telecrap...

Please fact check your articles..

This is behind a paywall thank god but shows everything that is wrong with RL reporting ..you can't call it journalism..

Headline Former skipper demands early exit from Tigers deal..

The former Wests Tigers skipper has asked the club for an early release from his big money deal. 👀

Fact..No release has been requested..Moses has made no demands..permission has been sought to look elsewhere for 2022.

Telecrap ..you caaaaaarn't let facts get in the way of a good story..you caaaaarn't..

I agree.... But when does a club / or player start standing up to this rubbish..
Yesterday Moses and the club clearly released a statement about what happened and it is nowhere near what DT / Fox report..
I would love nothing more than Lee to stand up and ask the questions to DT / Fox and put them in there place.
Unfortunately most Tigers fans fall for it and there click baits and it makes it a issue when it is not.

I don't know the legal term but it has to be boarding on Bullying as there clearly have an agenda against us.

There are 2 clubs that are in crises mode now and yet they continue with Tigers stuff.
Manly - Last and getting flogged with players not happy...
Cowboys - Bottom as well and players unhappy and even now club has said Josh McGuire is free to go as well.. Yet nothing.
Anyway my rant over ..
