OFFICIAL Moses Mbye [Discussion]

[TigerLouis]

Wish him the best of luck. Have always found him a great club ambassador and I actually hope he gets the same chance as Corey Thompson did (with Titans) - the best possible outcome for he and his young family.

I don’t blame Mbye. Maguire is jeopardising our season by not picking the best players due to their pay packet that’s why he did not put him in the leadership group which I thought was very harsh. Mbye is a much better player than Kepaoa & should be playing in the centre’s he has played there for Queensland so surely he should be playing there for the Tigers who are a bit short of centre’s & Talau for mine has played better on the wing & should be playing in that position with Jake Simpkin on the bench. Another example is Russell Packer who really has not had that many opportunities to prove himself due to his pay packet while Luke Garner who would be on much less money is still given more chances even though his performances have not been that great for a while he did the same with Josh Reynolds overlooking him for Benji so then he would leave which is what happened. Maguire should just pick the best players he has available now & so we can make the semis.

Packer?? Another chance ?? Laughable

Probably explains the Hastings talk. With Walters and Mbye potentially gone, we'll need a half utility. Even better if it's someone that can potentially push an incumbent out.

Not sure I'd want to pay half to let him go, but I'd chip in 25-30%.

Don’t think Hastings is happening.

Not for 2021..at this stage

2022 however..

I’d like to think we are aiming higher than Hastings. Especially if we have both Mbye and Packer’s money.

He won the man of steel..


So did Adrian Vowles and Rangi Chase.

There’s always some that don’t go on ... Brooks got Dally M half once and look what happened to him.

Adrian Vowles and Rangi Chase didnt, not go on......they went to SL because no one wanted them here, because they werent good enough. That is the whole point, the standard over there is WAY lower than here, probably lower than NSW Cup and with the money drying up over there, the standard is dropping. The salary cap in SL is now only AUD $3.8M plus 1 marquee. THAT is why some decent players have upped tools and come here, but for average Aussie who have gone there, its rare they make the transition back.

Not really keen on this being in the media and not sure why the club and player spoke to them about it. I'd be happy for him to go, just doesn't seem to fit anywhere for us. One option for this year anyway would be to put him in a sort of Connor Watson type lock role. I still think twal is a bit limited at lock and mbye has the right sort of skills to play there.

Twal is not a bit limited at lock, he is hugely limited, as Daryl Kerrigan would say, "Tell him he's dreaming" if he thinks he is a lock, he is a prop, end of story

 

[Moh]

Say what you will about Mbye, but he's an absolute champion bloke.

Not his fault the club threw the money they did at him.

All class to come out and say what he has said, completely respectful unlike Tigers of the past, who I may add, had a lot stronger ties at the club.

 

[WT2K]

Not a bad problem to have if it means the WT are 400k better off next season.

Bit of $$$ to spend. Packer gone and assuming Joey isn't getting club option picked up.

 

[tony soprano]

Moses is the smartest footballer in the game. He does this half way through a season with a year in addition to run on the contracts. Gets his existing club and another club to pay half the freight and then negotiates another year or two on top. The existing club gets cap space. D gets rid of a dead set loafer and the new club gets a cheap deal.

Smart manager who screwed us in the first place and continues to do so

Problem is can we convince someone who's worth good money to join.... very hard to sell our club to top players, they don't want the pressure of carrying an entire club.

Talau said today centre is his preferred position so Madge is putting Laurie and talau ahead of Moses.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

what would a club pay for Mmbye ? 400k so we are left paying $400 ?
Brisbane could use him for sure but we wouldn't be that lucky

 

[tony soprano]

I still think twal is a bit limited at lock and mbye has the right sort of skills to play there.

Twal is not a bit limited at lock, he is hugely limited, as Daryl Kerrigan would say, "Tell him he's dreaming" if he thinks he is a lock, he is a prop, end of story

I don’t know I saw a step last week.

Agree mate

But deep down we and Moses know he’ll suck in that role too.

 

[beachtiger]

Always liked Mbye’s attitude, wasn’t the most astute signing but he can’t be blamed for that and I wish him the best.

I wonder whether there’s a push for Mbye to be traded for Hastings. Instead of a transfer fee we cover half his wage for the remainder of his contract and pick up Hastings contract at full whack.

I actually think Mbye would kill it in the Super League.

He's shown plenty of footwork his entire career and has been doing more passing too. He's fine for now

 

[AdelaideTiger]

Can see him going to NQ, they are desperate, may even take him on full tilt. The bloke is a 6 or 7 nothing else.

Agree, unfortunately Mbye ain't Connor Watson:cold_sweat:

Conor always kills it against us

Broncos would be a good fit for him if they can improve.

Benji > Reynolds

Packer has Utoikamanu, Tamou, Ofehengaue, Musgrove, Twal ahead of him.

Talau is the only option at right centre and is a better player by a mile over Mbye. He’s not a winger.

Mbye is best suited as a utility and he just blew a golden opportunity to win a game with a drop over the line for an ex captains unacceptable.
Blind Freddy can tell you Jake Simpkin is coming once he has a few games and our draw gets easier.

Not sure I agree with anything above.
