OFFICIAL Moses Mbye [Discussion]

[tigerbill]

I like Mbye , had a cracker against the dogs. Great to see him pump the boys up and show some emotion like a cAptain should be doing. I’d prefer to move Reynolds and packer on before mbye. I actually think he would be a great 5/8 and he tried to get alot more involved agaisnt the dogs. It’s not his fault he is on superstar dollars we have our lovely traitor Ivan to thank for that.

What??? He did nothing. Someone on this forum please show me one fend,offload,tackle break that justifies his position. Its an insult to Nofo when you dare say he is good. He rarely makes good decisions, rarely busts ant tackles, never fends people off, never does low percentage finishers. he is absolutely hopeless and I challenge you to post at least 5 moments where he did something even remotely good.

5 moments? How about his 4 conversions plus 1 try.

People can’t understand that just because he’s not worth the money he’s payed doesn’t mean he plays crap every single game. 3 tries and 6 try assists this year is not that bad.

Did you see Nofo leave his winger completely unmarked to score a try or his play the ball attempt when he just dropped it cold.

Mbye kicked his goals, scored a try & tried hard all game. The previous week he was fantastic at dummy half. He has had one bad game all season and that was with a winger there who shouldn't have been there.

Sure he is overpaid but as has just been stated that isn't his fault.

Also, and I'm not exactly sure how the sums work out, but is everyone taking into account that he was heavily subsidised the first 2 years from Bulldogs? So he might be on 800K or something now, but if Dogs paid 400K each of the first 2 seasons, it goes down to 600K per season average on our books.

Mmbye had a great game i thought, yes he is payed high but apet from the souths game when he had a rookie outside him he has had an ok year.
As far as Nofo agsin his attack was awesome against dogs, the try where he left thebwing was ordinary and the dropped ball at the play the ball was not good it probably comes down to a lack of concentration or something. if he can get the tired error down, it seems to happen most games then he is a pretty good winger.

Yeah dogs threw in for at least one year just wish they didn’t keep his price the same in future years. He’s taking up a lot of our cap for another two years ?

I've said it before, I don't bother myself with salary cap moneyball or fan guessing, it's pointless, we don't know. Either he's a good footballer or he isn't, that's the main question. And if you lose him, can you replace him with someone better, or as good and cheap (by whatever measure the club considers "cheap")?

Gosh the dogs must have been desperate to offload him? Do you think they would listen to a permanent swap deal? Mbye and Reynolds for Foran?

The one bad game he has had according to you Earl - it was all his fault.

Blaming a first timer is not on - Mbye let in four tries, he is a dope.

 

[hodgo]

Mbye is an ok player he is always going to cop it however due to his contract. Like others have mentioned he was crazy not to take it' it just adds extra pressure as does captaincy

I will watch the game again and get back to you. But that sideline kick to tie up the score with 5 minutes to go was “remotely good” don’t you think?

I believe you’re an Eels supporter?
Maybe you can coax the Eels into taking Mbye if you think he’s that valuable

I'm not blaming the first timer but it is something to consider. I'm not the only one who mentioned this as well.

We need better off a star player but that is because everyone assumes he is a star player based on his pay packet. Reynolds is also a star player. We've clearly gotten much better value out of Mbye.

You really want to talk about his conversions???? Even the commentators bag him out and say we need a solution. Yes he can score a try when handed the ball with no opposition....yipeee. show me one try, just one where he really had to work for it.

Well if those are your standards for good moments then yeah, what a player, what amazing players we have across the park.

Glad we agree.

I think its a little harsh to call him crap.
Defence - apart from the south's game, he is consistently one of our best
Attack - apart from some dirty hit ups after oppositions clearing kick, there's not much he can do at centre if the ball doesn't go to him. We certainly favour going to the Leiluma side hence nofo bagging so many tries
Kicking - got a feeling his practice would have been more of late. Didn't he carry a leg injury for a while? Maybe he is getting more practice time now and fingers cross is on the up.
Captaincy - well we can only hope he has broken the shackles from the weekend and really start asserting himself from this point on.
Definitely a waste at centre. FB or halves for him to shine
