OFFICIAL Moses Mbye [Discussion]

[Elderslie_Tiger]

With Michael Morgan announcing his retirement this morning the Mbye move to Nth QLD could be on.

If that's the case we'd need a player in return but I can't really think of anyone at the Cows i'd particularly want.

Yeah pretty bare cupboard up there. You'd maybe take a Drinkwater or even Ben Hampton as spine coverage with NRL experience.

Whoever does the junior recruitment for the Cowboys goes okay? Kikau, Simpkins, JT, Hughes, Brandon Smith, Kafausi, Tabuai-Fidow lots of talent

Add Ponga to that list as well

He must have been at WT'S sometime in his career to let go of all those classy players

Mbye's average salary over the time he has been with the Tigers is a lot less than 900k per year, the Bulldogs were paying a a big chuck of his salary for the first 2 years.

The statements that he and the club are making look like they are coordinated. They could be reading from a script designed to give Mbye and the Tigers the best outcome.

Signing with dragons in next few days according to brent read...


Damn, thought we had him.

Like swapping a bucket of poo for a box of poo.

Sums it up beautifully! The box would leak more crap than the bucket also because it’s porous so no thanks.

Think Mbye may still be useful for us for a bit longer yet and I agree that a swap like that would definitely end up being a case of POOR US.

oh yeah ..him..

 

[Merlot]

Always squinting too. We have already got enough wrongness of heads in the team

You do know he has a glass eye !

ask him if he would give u his glass eye up,or trade it for his reboks,no josh thanks

 

[Spartan117]

Were building our pack with some gun young players.

Musg
Blore
Stefano
Joffa
Twal
Tuki

A frizell type with more than his final years is what we need to assist captain Tamou

No more packers on big money please.

 

[Chipofftheoldblock]

McGuire is a grub of the highest order.
We need a decent edge backrower to replace Garner and move Twal back to Prop.
I would of said grab Hess but he is the version of looks like Tarzen but plays like Jane.

McGuire does not fit the recruitment mould for our team.
Happy to grab Mitchell Dunn or Shane Wright in swap but dont think that will happen.

That would be some incredible cap gymnastics by Newcastle if so. Drinkwater was upgraded at Cows and must be on around 500k + Klemmer + Frizell + Ponga + Fitzgibbon + Barnett + Saifitis. And apparently Clifford is coming, who I don't think they signed for peanuts.

 

[Merlot]

cows will have a tuff time cleaning the decks with that roster,

Sorry Merlo,
got no idea what your taking about. ? ? ? ?

 

[Cairnstigers]

A few years ago
But not now
May as well play with 16 men
If he could keep the crap out of his game and just do his job in hitting hard then yes
But he is a grub

 

[Snake]

No more burnt out has been please ..the younger targeted players are the future of the club .. I would never swap Mbye for that hack !

And that is it
Mbye is much better value for our club the that bloke
If we could get $500,000 and McGuire then I would consider
Otherwise NO DEAL

Can I say this is one of the worst Ideas I have ever heard.

 

[leonard day]

i agree with earlier replies, if we keep buying players who are over the hill, we will keep going backwards, we keep buying players from other clubs who have had injuries and there best years are behind them, but we will pay them big money and sign them for 4 years and wonder why after a year they are injured all the time or are in 2nd grade, this has been happening for the last 10 years, doesnt anyone in the club understand this, all are they all stupid, i would rather put the money into a good young player and put the effort into him and other young players coming thru, then buying a leilua or a tamou, mcguire is suppose to be a good coach, doesnt he know , and he is supposed to be a defencive coach, we are getting 30 or more points scored against us all the time, im a coach, and what he is coaching them might have worked back in 2014, but it doesnt work today, i could do a better job then he is doing, sorry if i rambled on, but im a passionate supporter

 

[Toowoomba_Tiger]

I've been his biggest critic and didn't want him anywhere near 1st grade but I must say he's been playing well for a few weeks now in that bench role.
I'm seriously surprised how he has impacted our play...in a positive way.

Hats off to him and I can't believe I'm saying this but he adds to our team and I don't think anyone else is as versatile.

I'd have no problem if they decided to hold onto him, but that price tag burns for a benchie.
I'm with a few others who would like to see him get a run at 7. He could at least match Brooks irrelevance.
He should have no problem finding another club if we flick him. Just gotta take a pay cut.
Back to the point though. I was wrong, he has something to offer😊

Mbye is a good player. Not worth what he’s on but we looked a LOT better when he came on. We’re a better team with him in it IMO.
