OFFICIAL Moses Mbye [Discussion]

[fibrodreaming]

I’m sorry to say he is just a slightly better Lolohea.

Surely you jest !

 

[happy_tiger]

@Geo Have you had a major injury before ? I have and it can take years to gain trust in certain things . But your right I just meant he had the MCL . I wasn’t sure if he had minor surgery .

But you don't have years

1 season yes I can understand that but asking a club to wait 2 seasons under the salary cap system for a player to get their confidence back is nuts

To have a differing opinion from others gets you branded a "hater".
Nobody hates Mbye, just questioning his performance. He is bog average in attack and gets a pass mark for his defence.

I think we're forgetting how truly awful Tui was.

Agree, Lolohea was bitterly disappointing.

Kinda wished we ended up signing Connor Watson tbh

 

[tig_prmz]

mmm BYE

not a fan of how he plays and not really sure of what his role in the team as a captain is. the two try saving tackles a couple of weeks ago- in real time they didn't even look that good

Even though we're travelling OK, I'd be willing to try Mbye in the centres with Fonua outside and Thompson at fullback.

Probably doesn't matter but having three left footers in the spine seems a little odd.

Really was Owen Craigie Mk II - so much talent and just couldn't keep turning up.

Maguire confident in Mbye's Maroons ability

Wests Tigers Head Coach Michael Maguire says he's confident captain Moses Mbye would be right for State of Origin selection if named in the Queensland team for Game One.

Mbye was a late withdrawal from his side's Round 11 defeat to the South Sydney Rabbitohs on Saturday night after picking up a minor groin strain at the team's final training session on Friday.

With speculation building that the Wests Tigers fullback was set to be named on the bench by Coach Kevin Walters for his Origin debut in Game One, Maguire said he had no doubts the 25-year-old would be right to play, if selected.


"He [Mbye] just has a slight strain to his groin," he told reporters post-match.

"It's only a subtle one.

"If we were playing in four or five days he might have been okay but with the 24-hour turnaround from when he did it to play in this game, he just wasn't ready.

"He'll definitely be ready [for Origin] — without a doubt."


VB Hard Earned Effort of the Week: Round 9
If named for Game One, Mbye would have less than 48 hours to back up from the game for his side's Round 13 clash against the Canberra Raiders at Bankwest Stadium. However, Maguire said the potential selection had far more positive outcomes for the team than negative as a result of the experience gained.

"I always push my players to play Origin," he enthused. "It's a great opportunity for a player to step in to a higher arena and they always come back a better player.

"To be able to play at that level, they come back a different player because of the level that you need to lift to during Origin so it'd be great if Moses got in there.

"Moses has been doing some good things out the back there for us," he added.

"I think a lot of people don't quite understand the fullback position and the importance as a defender. They do such a job to corral and tell players where to go and Moses has a great ability to do that, and I think his attack over the last few weeks has also started to rise."


Teams for Game One of the State of Origin series will be named over the next day ahead of the series opener at Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday, June 5.

Thanks for sharing @TheDaBoss.
Wow I think it's fantastic he's in contention for an origin spot.
Regardless of whether he gets selected or not, I sincerely hope to see him find some consistency with his form. He was a breath of fresh air for us when he came over last year.

I'd say the 14 jersey will be a battle between he and Milford

SOO wouldn't do Mbye any harm

 

[innsaneink]

🤣🤣🤣 Good one madge

 

[Matto]

Maguire, what drugs are you on?

 

[TheDaBoss]

I think origin is just the thing that Mbye needs to get his form back on track.....

so i am all for him playing origin

 

[GNR4LIFE]

It’s great to see Madge backing his players. I doubt Mbye makes it though. If they want a bench utility, the best option is Milford.

 

[innsaneink]

He's on the bench.... The milf would offer them more... Remarkable... Shades of Ross Conlon, but at least Ross had one real talent

 

[Geo]

Lol @ the whingefest . Mbye will play origin in the next few years . You are all just looking for a scapegoat , like MWZ last year . Oh and Jordan Rankin in other years . Oh and Adam Blair in years before that . Oh and Daniel Fitzhenry . Ohh and John Morris . Blah blah . Here’s the deal . At that elite level . The bounce of a ball, a minor lapse , a decision to try To score with the ball inyour right instead of your left . Can be the difference between a win and a loss . and Melb are Notorious for forcing those lapses to be the difference .

You lost all integrity when you said Mbye will be in origin.

Whoooooops...

Im sorry but this bloke just doesn't cut it.

Crucial errors every game that really cost us. Last night he murdered a try by ignoring a clear overlap, did his Darius Boyd impersonation to let in the match winning try and where the hell was he when the bomb went up for that soft try??


His positioning is dead set awful and costing us, the difference between the fullbacks last night was like chalk and cheese.


And tell me Corey Thompson wouldnt go better, at least he puts his body on the line and gets in position.

Nofa back on the wing, Thompson FB and Mbye 14 and im happy.

Looks like he is cutting it with some well placed expert selectors.
