OFFICIAL Moses Mbye [Discussion]

[sideline_eye]

I thought he had a great game, unlike most of our forwards who again capitulated. Would we be higher up the ladder if he was here earlier? Perhaps but we can't expect to win games when our pack is being dominated and I still believe that they are capable of great things, as in the first 5 weeks. To me something has gone wrong that we are unaware of and it is showing in our on field efforts.

 

[TCL]

Played well first time out. One of our best.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Would have been a lot happier if he hadn't of thrown the pass behind Kev, but he put in a good first up performance in a side that had little ball.

 

[trafford10]

Ha…you blokes are easy on a guy that basically gave two try assists to the Titans!!
I am sorry to say it will be fun watching your optimism fade.

 

[newtiger]

Best player on the field for us.

Lolohea will never see the NRL again in the no 1 jumper.

After he first 2 games he should have never been selected there again.
5/8 is the only position I would ever "consider"__ playing him.

Mate,the guy played his first game with us in a completely different structure he has been used to with new team mates….
fantastic first up effort and got involved as much as he could...at least most of us can be positive about our new fullback...

Thought he played reasonably well, Kev could never have taken that pass, far too hard and slightly misdirected. Whilst he talked through the whole game - he wasn't organising our goal line defence too well.

Having said all that - it was his first game and these things will progess.

Well done Mbye. (refuse to call him Moses, reminds me too much of the tanker).

I think Mbye may have restored faith in the name “Moses”

Good debut - so knives are withheld for another few weeks.

No way - it has been contaminated for good.

In fact the "Good news Bible" is thinking of changing the name in their version to "Whatshisname"

 

[Tim Sheens]

The normal throwers have plenty of targets lined up at the moment, but it's likely some are already chomping on the bit waiting to have a go, so little doubt his turn will come.

 

[swag_tiger]

Great debut.
Still can't believe we nabbed him.
Class.

True.

He also showed a bit of urgency when getting the ball when it was near our in-goal line or getting the ball up the ground. Which is something Tui showed very little of.

 

[old_boy]

Had a great game, so did Faf and Rowdy, now just need to find another 14 players and we can field a 1st grade squad.

That was very noticeable, a definite upgrade, and the dogs are paying some of is wage, win win for me :slight_smile:

 

[Dst6]

Think this is the key match up for the game. Let's hope Mbye get some on top of Ponga on Friday

 

[teddy23]

That's cute - Ponga is twice the player but Mbye is still good

It'll be Brooks vs Pearce as the key match-up

 

[Telltails]

Pearce is another one of those players who seems to have his best games against us and SKD scores the miracle try.

 

[Swordy]

That's cute - Ponga is twice the player but Mbye is still good

Ponga is also twice the price so I hope he's twice the player.

And I think the match up will be the forwards and their attitude. It won't be half v half or 6 v 6 or outside backs. If our best forwards available turned up with a hard work attitude, we would beat this mob by 40\. If not, it will be the other way around.

Imagine if Sue turns up for another one of his once a year games, packer gets angry, matulino runs straight and hard, eisenhuth tackles his bum off, and twal works his ring out. They won't touch us.

I hate to do this but Mbye is on like 600-700 k here

While Ponga is on 700-800k at the Knights

I agree with your point about our forwards needing to smash them in order to win - there only threats really are Safiti and that ess'se bloke

You're probably right, but Pongas original contract of 720K was confirmed recently by Nathan Brown as being over the 1Mil because of the extras with origin, first grade games etc.

Mbye on 700k? Hmmm….lucky we won't paying the whole thing!

I can see Ponga doing something wild in a close game that gives them a win. Could do equally something silly to lose one too. I don't think Mbye carries the X factor. Won't win a game but won't lose one either.

I'm like you mate, I want to see the big guys smash a few heads and leave doubt at the door.
