OFFICIAL Moses Mbye [Discussion]

Maybe it’s a smokescreen for Madden at 6? I don’t know why Madge would be moving AD though...

It’s definitely a smokescreen. I really don’t want Doueihi to turn into another Mbye where he can’t hold a position. He finally looked like he cemented a position, but he got shifted ?‍♂️

I don't think it is unfortunately, otherwise Mbye wouldn't have alluded to AD being disappointed with the move, surely.

“We were a little bit surprised. **Obviously Doueihi was disappointed with the swap, but he’s now taken it with both hands** and it’s a good opportunity to view the game from a different point and I’m sure he’ll be better for it.”

I mean the smokescreen will be Madden coming into the starting side.

My major concern with Mbye in any position is he looks to me like he’s simply marking time with us now. He is moving on and he may as well already have gone because his heart and effort are not in it. Listening to the interview with him on WTs app he sounded totally disinterested and unconvincing.
Problem for Madge is we have few realistic options at centre or at 5/8.
AD may well struggle defensively at centre especially if marking Best.

Well, maybe AD will struggle at Center.
But honestly I trust him there a lot more then BJ leilua and James Roberts.

AD wont struggle.

He optimises the new WT mindset that were after across the roster and the club

 

[crazycat]

Its almost Madge conceding we shouldn't have let Benji go inmy opinion

??


Yeh, that flick pass really made clubs want to sign him long term ?
I think Bennet is the one conceding his run to the GF?

Hey if Benji gets Bennett and Souths to the Grand final. Who would complain?

Ah right. Yeah let's hope so. I'd actually like to see Brooks drop out though, maybe build some confidence in reserve grade and take the attention and pressure off him. Probably the best time to do it but I doubt he'd have been named in the starting side only to drop out.

Their opinions don't matter as much but Joey thinks 6 is Mbye's best position and Freddy thinks centre is Douehi's best position.

I'm disappointed that Mbye had one of his worst games for us last week and seems like he's been rewarded instead..

Whereas Douehi has been demoted despite being our best. In fact, I don't even see it as a better balance for our team with this move. Two left footed weak kickers at 6 and 7.

A better balance would've been Cini with Leilua and Talau with Noffa on the edges.

Selection defies belief. Seems like the only reason to do this is "let's change this up and see if gets them to work harder"... which again even if we end up winning, is a short term solution. Douehi is our long term 6, Simpkin is our long term 9 and Cini is in our best 17. Mbye is more than likely leaving next year, he shouldn't be in the spine.

Simpkin and Cini being dropped, if that’s what you want to call it, is fine, they are young and will be back. You are right about Doueihi. You’d assume he’s our long term 6. He’s not going be in the centre’s moving forward. It’s baffling.

If thats the case we are stuffed.
He is lazy in defense and robotic in attack.
Yes he has sparked us (when its too late we should note) he never chases hard and doesn’t show urgency to close on the attacker.

Sometimes you have just got to (happily) put your hand up....and say you were wrong...

Mbye move a massive gamble, but the whole backline clicked and AD is top class out there...

Brooksy's best game in years...

Well played Madge.

I am expecting a few people to put their hands up also 🙂

 

[hodgo]

Your not alone

 

[Demps]

Douihei still was close to our best though.
Did some ball playing a few kicks, one lead to Tamous try.

Makes a good girlfriend though

 

[upthetigers]

I'll put my hand up when they win back to back

 

[hobbo1]

Doueihi’s always had it ( except fullback)

Brooks and Mbye were good tonight but have a lot of making up to do .

So no .. I’m still correct as of now .

True - but it makes for at least one nice day, with hopefully more to follow

What he said. When Brooks and Mbye string together 5 or more good performances we will not be where we are on the table. But we are.
