OFFICIAL Moses Mbye [Discussion]

After reading the article couldnt help but feel a little flat.

Fight for your position mate!

This ill play anywhere in the 17 thing doesnt cut it imo.

Only excuse could be he wants the 6 jumper and was trying to be nice.
 
A bit too cruisy is Mybe - and kind of plays that way too. Needs to lift his intensity and urgency on the field, to get anywhere close to he considered "elite" imo.

Madge maybe the coach that Mbye needs to help him brake out as one of the top fullbacks. Madge might give an intensity boost.

Not really impressed with the way he blew off the Cleary drama. I know he’s probably only trying to be diplomatic, but still.
 
This is body language Mark II..but with words…hurry up round 1...or at least trials

"Only rusted-on fans expect the Tigers to improve and end their seven-year NRL finals exile next year"

I am confused by this statement.

Yep. We're no certainties, but we already have a better squad than last year. One place higher wouldn't take a miracle.

Only die hard fans expecting success is so deluded.
Our team has a mediocrity addiction. We need to break it but with comments like that, I'm not sure they want to.
 
From where did these opinions of Mbye not always having a go come from? He was great at the dogs as fb. Went really well for us at fb as the new bloke. I've never noticed him dogging it.
 
The thing I’ve noticed with Mbye is he started well at 7 then dropped off then when he moved to 1 he did the same thing. Hopefully Madge will put pressure on him to maintain his intensity which should improve his consistency.

I've not noticed hom showing a lack of intensity or urgency at all.

Agree. I think he was prominent in all games he played and I think he’ll just get better.
 
I don't like that he doesn't have a preferred position, im sick of hearing the old
'I'm just happy to be in the 17, i don't care where I play, I'll play wherever the coach wants me'

I want to hear Mbye say, ' i really want that no 1 jersey and I'll be showing the coach why he should hand it to me, but if he decides on someone else and thinks I'll be better suited elsewhere, then I'm happy to play there too.'

We need a no 1 who's a no 1, not someone who says, oh yeah I'll play 1 if the coach wants me to.
I don't like that Mbye thinks his greatest attribute is that he can play 9,6,7,3,4,1, versatility is great but focus on one position and own it.

No 1 and no 9 are our biggest and most important problems going forward, Mbye needs to decide what he wants to be.
 
He should stick to fullback. In fantasy, he was 1 of 6 people to score over 100 and it was in his first game at fullback for the 2018 season (at Bulldogs.) In the halves, his choices aren't the best. Plus, we want a fullback that can kick. He can do a MEAN torpedo. If you remember in the game Bulldogs vs Sharks 2018, he did a torpedo from his own 25 m and it landed at the 25m mark at the other side! He needs to stay at fullback

The last bloke that said that was shoveled off to Canberra whilst we chose to hang onto the pip squeak that stiffed us in the end after we payed him an absolute motza before he'd even earned it.
 
Mbye had a good season for a first year fullback. The knock on him at the Bulldogs is that he is lazy and lacks ticker. There were many times he put in a weak tackle or got out of the way for tries along with jogging back and not hitting top speed until just before the line with us last year.

I think Madge is just the coach he needs but sometimes you either have mongrelise in you or you don’t.
 
I did find it interesting Maguire mentioned our spine 2/3 times and didn't mention Mbye.

However he didn't mention others as well (Liddle).

Still in light of Mbye's comments it is at least a discussion point potentially down the track. Probably far too early to read too much into anything though.

Moses Mbye suffered a ruptured PCL during training last week per [ ~~@~~ **MichaelChammas** ](https://twitter.com/MichaelChammas) Usually with no secondary damage to the knee there is no need for surgery & only requires 4-8weeks rehab. Mbye is already returning to some full training, expected to play Tigers’ trial on March 2nd

## Mbye a quick healer

Wests Tigers fullback Moses Mbye suffered a torn PCL in his knee at training last week, raising some concern at the club just a few weeks out from their first trial.

However Mbye is starting to return to full training duties despite the tear. Many athletes are able to play without the posterior cruciate ligament in their body.

At first Mbye thought he suffered a serious cork, but the knee swelled dramatically overnight. He was sent for scans the next day, which showed a rupture of the PCL.

He is expected to be fit to play in the Tigers’ second trial against the Warriors in New Zealand on March 2.

Benji Marshall, who also suffered a minor hamstring tear, is back in training and will also be given the green light when the Tigers cross the ditch for the trial against the Warriors.

It’s understood the battle between Marshall and Josh Reynolds is one of the main positions still up for grabs. New recruit Paul Momirovski has impressed in the pre-season and is set to win the left centre spot to start the year.
