OFFICIAL Moses Mbye [Discussion]

[tbones10]

Do you think its a bit suspicious that the Dragons were interested in him and he played two good games. The Dragons lost interest in him and he lost interest in playing well, now we are stuck with him for another year and a half.

Mbye is an elite athlete. When the other kids might have been at home playing Xbox, he would've been at the park practicing kicking, getting his fitness up and doing sprint drills. Yes $1m is a lot of money but there is a lot of sacrifice him and his family would've made to get him to that position.

To keep that in perspective, if you ever visit a heart surgeon, he's probably studied for 10 or 12 years, made huge sacrifices both socially and economically, come out with a HUGE educational debt, and likely gets paid less than many average first graders.

Football players are overpaid. I'm assuming they'd all still play if they made $100,000 p/a as most of them aren't going to get a job anywhere else. The salary cap is a victim of the game itself. (Some) clubs are creaking under the pressure and we're paying these self-entitled sportsmen more than the Premiers, Prime Minister, Head of the Reserve Bank etc.

I wonder how Paul Vaughan would go running our economy? He'd probably start with a massive BBQ...

NRL players are fast becoming second in line to used car sellers as the most hated profession.

I think they have overtaken and claimed top spot

100%

Those who see it see it. The others are pre occupied blaming others or have simply missed the footage of his efforts.

Guy is tanking. Sad state of affairs

Well if Mbye is trying to sell himself to another Club and tanking ..that's as dumb as a stick..

 

[mike]

Do we keep Mbye. Easy short answer: NO.

Like my response for the Madge sacking thread ..when we have a replacement who is better ...let him go .....as bad as he has been ...no one currently at the club could do better ...even with him injured .....

Disagree. I think he is poisonous. He should be let go at the earliest opportunity. He’s the bloke that does nothing but talks himself up so you think he is good. The last person you need at your workplace.

I think he realized that the Dragons were his last chance to play else where other than seeing out his contract, and guess what.

‘’Sounds like’ tanking....

Unfortunately we are stuck with an overpaid player who cant even get to "plod" speed.Thanks Ivan

He should be named as a reserve every week number 18. That way he doesn’t play and doesn’t impact the second tier cap.

The issue is Madge wants to drop half the squad he can’t do it under the rules. Some players are in the team due to pay packet unfortunately.

What rule stops him from dropping half the squad? Anyone in the 30 can play. Mbye playing Reggies doesnt affect the second tier cap.

 

[Telltails]

This is what is most embarrassing.
Like someone else said it's not exactly a Mbye problem - and similar to Nofo's current grievances - but rather it's a club problem.
It wouldn't happen at the Storm. You wouldn't see anyone kicking up stones or publicly declaring how someone specifically is letting the team down.
In fact there's a couple of their players that have been told they're not in their future plans of the club, yet both have continued to be pillars in the team. Upholding the standards driven by the coach and values by the club....then there's us.

Understand there's multilayered/multifaceted complexities with managing the club and we have certain barriers or limitations in recruitment, but greater attention needs to be paid on forging our identity and performance culture. Players like Brandon Smith, Cam Munster and Angus Crichton IMO would undoubtedly transform our culture.
This is what I hate about our club, it appears we've no one steering the ship (on most levels) and not handling everything accordingly. We've brushed over past issues and it's why everything easily becomes a cluster f.

Winners are grinners. There would be players at Melbourne would have never experienced what it is like to lose more than you win. Just like players here who have never known what it takes to win more than you lose and play semi final footy.

While I'm not enjoying the quality of our footy, I'm certainly enjoying the quality of posts on here. Only on the WTF could there be debates held over who's our worst tanker?

At least there is still some humour left on here.

I was actually dreading come on here but it's been fantastic to see that no one's lost their sense of humour.

They havent lost their sense of humour.....just their marbles following this team...

They should arrest Ivan for signing him on big $$, and give Madge the electric chair for constantly picking him.


 

[hsvjones]

So much for him having offers for next year and him getting off our books.. Pipedreams now
