OFFICIAL Moses Mbye [Discussion]

[Papacito]

There seems to be a lot unhealthy of jealousy over another man's pay packet on this forum.....

I'm extremely jealous of what he gets paid, aren't you?

We are not getting value for money out of him, if he is indeed on 800K a year, I would be OK with the club carrying $500K of that to have him play elsewhere next year and put that money and spot toward another centre, winger or second rower.

I seriously don't understand what's to be jealous about. But aide from that....

Nobody knows what he's getting paid. If you heard $800k from a journo, you can safely assume the figure is pumped up significantly by an agent.

Regardless, we're not going to work our way out of this hole with a few fantasy football trades.

Tanking and not even hiding it.

Lowest of low to wear our jersey

 

[Merlot]

if we can move him on,holding the clean end of the s.,.ty stick ,think ourselves lucky

 

[getagrip]

SHOULD NEVER SEE FIRST GRADE AGAIN. AT THIS STAGE, ANYONE IS BETTER THAN THIS OVERPAID, OVERRATED, BLUDGER. HE HAS HAD ENOUGH CHANCES TO PROVE HIMSELF AND HE HAS PROVEN HIMSELF A FAILURE.

If we are serious at all about improving and making the 8, and then top 4, we need to ensure that the players in our NRL squad are true competitors. It is blatantly obvious that as a group the WTs contain very few players with the "effort on effort", hungry attitude or qualities that are required to win at this level.
With regard to Mbye specifically he has had ample opportunity to step up as a leader and has never really shown he has the right stuff, so which ever way you cut it, he needs to go. Probably sooner rather than later. In the meantime I'd be playing him at 14.

I was excited about M'Bye when we signed him, although I was conscious that he had been moved around a lot at the dogs. Unfortunately he has been poor, and his last two games for us have been super poor. Considering his and Packers money could sign 4 top line up and coming players, then I think he needs to go.

And no I wouldn't keep him for half the money either.

 

[WT2019]

Keen to see what everyone thinks...If he goes, we would he paying a large amount of his salary and would have to replace him with someone better on minimum salary to justify it.

Do we keep him at 5/8 with Brooks playing decently having him there or do we let him go?

Major problem keeping him is we probably lose Doueihi...

No

No

On his effort last night I'd say he has a new club already

We can only hope

Excellent point and something that I believe will only come for us through developing our own and them coming into grade together, much like the current Penrith boys. Its a medium to long term plan but I think it’s our only real option of getting out of this hole were in

 

[voice_of_reason]

If he comes in on Reynolds, it is a 4 on 2. Souths spread the ball and the winger scores untouched.

That would have been Nofa's fault for leaving his winger unmarked.

**Lesson: It is always Nofa's fault. He can't defend**

I'm assuming this is sarcasm but sometimes it's hard to tell on here.

 

[69-05-41]

Difficult to top that T'eo "effort" at ANZ where he was "defending" on the line and appeared to step aside to allow the opposition to score unimpeded. Special mentions to The Princess and Mbye for consistent "efforts". Tanks for the memories.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Short Answer….NO
TLDR……No
Educated Guess…..No
Tigers Tragic Supporter…..Please No

 

[Tiger5150]

I'd rather pay him 500k to play elsewhere next year than give him another year.

His performance and effort is a big part of what is wrong with Wests Tigers. Senior players that don't give a toss, why should the younger players care.

Yep. **As soon as he put in that pathetic attempt on Reynolds?** he should've been hooked from the field. That was as disgustingly disgraceful as it gets. He is of no use to us, would be happy to pay him his full salary to play for another club. Give someone a go who will at least have a bit of a dig. A peaheart setting the example/standards is not going to get you anywhere in this comp.

I never thought Ben T’eo would be topped

Well there you have it quoting James Bond.. Never say Never again

That was a lame attempt.

HOWEVER:

If he comes in on Reynolds, it is a 4 on 2. Souths spread the ball and the winger scores untouched.

That would have been Nofa's fault for leaving his winger unmarked.

**Lesson: It is always Nofa's fault. He can't defend**

That there is Lucys fault. 5 on 3 outside

His predecessor will debut for NSW at his week….thereby almost ruining the game for me, having to watch that tanker that used the tigers play in the team that has spent 2 games restoring my love of Rugby League…. I feel so conflicted

 

[tony soprano]

I cannot believe not publicly criticised mbye defence in a tweet

Correction was A And B defenders who ever they are

On yesterdays effort No club would go within 1000Klms of him.

 

[Tiger5150]

Just reading this last page.. Ohara was good enough once to play origin, Head was terrific at saints as was Mcqueen at south's, another origin rep.
Craigie had some awesome raps from legends at one stage

They come here and we turn them into duds

McQueen broke his neck after he signed with us but before he got here....Craigie had been sacked from a heap of clubs and came here about 15kg over weight.....but we turned them into duds,,,,

 

[bathursttiger1]

Everyone bags TT, but I would much prefer him to Mbye at least he has a bit of a go, and his defence is nowhere near as bad as that over paid fraud.

 

[Hbom]

Surely Andrew Vela is in the grand final for biggest duds? Didn't he get 300k for 3-4 years and never cracked first?
