OFFICIAL Moses Mbye [Discussion]

[Cultured_Bogan]

He's handled it well. I am glad he's going, and will leave it at that.

 

[TIGERPOWER]

Out of all the Cleary signings this is the one I was most excited about. Even bulldog supporters at the time were livid to lose him. But what a disaster it has been. Good riddance!!!!


The dogs supporters i know would have happily driven him to Concord as they thought he was terrible

He was their best player back then, maybe you were to talking to afl bulldog supporters lol.

Good luck to Moses wish him all the best. As far as I am concerned belle played as well for Wests as he did for Canterbury. His character is probably something that annoyed many, but that’s just him. Its not his fault Wests Tigers paid big money for him. He is not an idiot and I am sure that everyone here would have done so as well. Its a bit like Real Estate you are only worth what someone is offering and willing to pay for. His contract is what Wests Tigers we’re willing to pay and what they thought was his worth. Only one party to blame here and it’s the Wests Tigers. He can walk away knowing he did his best. I personally would never had done the deal but in saying that, my opinion is worth Jack!

He didn't ever remotely come close to his price tag. His signing was like an anchor to the club, and I'm not surprised he felt like a burden. The club needs to learn from this.

He wasnt a burden at the time of recruitment when Ivan wanted him.....
The club has learnt.....thats why Hartigan and Madge dont overpay or pay huge money for players that the fans want....

What is your point? He wasn't a burden for like 1/8th of his time here, so he wasn't a burden overall? What is your point? He and his contract were a huge anchor on the club. I don't know how you can refute that.

And yes, so far. But lets be real, the players the fans want never even consider the Tigers to begin with.

I will tell you my point....Mbye was contracted by Ivan for a particular role...Ivan left us hanging and left Moses hanging in particular with a huge monetary contract that he was going to fulfill under IVANS COACHING ....Madge comes in and sees things differently BUT Mbye is still under contract so Madge uses him as a versatile utility that came in handy on many occasions....not his fault IVAN paid him a big money contract....you got my point turkey....
Madge and Hartigan have learnt from that contractual agreement and wont make the same mistake again...

He wasn’t the player that lived up to his marquee status and that’s hardly his fault, you have to look at Pascoe, Egan and Cleary. I don’t blame him for taking the money on the table, if we had paid $450k for him or less his true worth he’d probably still be here next season. As people have said he seems like a decent bloke can talk a good game but he’s just an average footballer who probably could and should have had stints in reggies, but when you’re paying him what we were you can’t justify that. Time to move on for all parties wish him well can’t say there will be any good memories though.

Really I don't care how much he was paid..his performance was insipid whether it was $50 or $10 Million dollars bar 1/2 a dozen games in all his time here... good BYE..

That kind of stubbornness will only get the club so far. Given the position the club is in, it has no choice but to bite the bullet and pay overs for 1 or 2 quality players. They just need to be the right ones.

I agree but we will need to pay way overs unfortunately.

 

[Tonymontana]

All the best man, it's not his fault that class act Cleary gave him the world.

Great input .....as I said earlier,we the fans have an opinion,we dont control the playing squad and positions...you have made your opinion clear ....as have I Moses was on a huge contract,Ivan chose to pay him that,Madge used him in a completely different role...doesnt mean people have to belittle the man that has reached origin level in one of the toughest comps in the world..

So be it. The forum can fawn all over kids like Laurie, Stefano and Blore all they like, and while they are good kids, they aren’t going to do it all themselves. We need to land someone big to accomodate them. If you want a player like Brandon Smith, it’s going to take a million a year. If we’re offering the same as sides like Melbourne and the Roosters, he’d laugh in our face.

We've got a massive pile of money to spend for next year. We can afford to entice a player worth paying overs for.

I think thats what we all want...but with the youth we have we need an NRL hard working leader to show them the way....and by saying that Im not knocking Tamou...I dont know what he does with the kids in the background...
