OFFICIAL Moses Mbye [Discussion]

[OzLuke]

He's not even in the worst 5 players in the starting side.

In no particular order

Nofo
Talau
Leilua
Liddle
Tamou

Over the longer run.

Anasta,
Blair,
Fitzhenry,
Harris,
Tandy,
McDonnell,
Crockett,
Morris,
Ryan

no o'hara??
Suli was a massive dud for us too

I also have vague memories of Jacob Miller but I can't remember if he was that bad, or just not quite up to NRL.

he played one game then dropped was miller

 

[TigerWest]

It would be reckless in the extreme to pick Mbye this week and risk him picking up any sort of injury that may put the dragons off.

Let him go now. Why keep him. Cini is as serviceable as Mbye

Can he play 9?

 

[upthetigers]

Anasta/Tamou then daylight

Ballin, Blair & Moses

That's the top 5.

Lolohea has to make that list

 

[mike]

Pathetic thread. The man can play not he's fault we paid him too much and haven't found his position. Stuff like this makes this forum a sad place to be

Mbye makes the team sad to watch.

Haha he was pretty bad too...

He tried though.
Was just overweight and lacked ability.

Surely bad for team morale...

The other boys seeing one of the highest paid players dishing the same weak, lazy, garbage up each week....

Absolutely, he’d be one of the main causes of the lack of effort and poor attitude. Why should they put in? Mbye doesn’t and he gets paid a motza. Very bad example set there.

Doesn't seem right.

Just checked, he played 14 games.

Sooo many they are just not memorable.

Are you kidding about Withers? He was an absolute champion for a guy his size. Absolutely smashed guys twice his size. So much ticker.

A champion halfback? because of his defence?

I wonder if a current halfback gets a pass on that basis?

He was a better hooker

 

[Aceshigh]

Lincoln Withers played u number of roles for us and always had a go

 

[Camel2281]

If based on bang for our buck. Then yes he is

 

[TigerTone]

Not sure how you could be the club's worst ever player but also play three state of origin games?

Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess.
If he was any better he would've been a main-stay in that origin team.

 

[Tiger5150]

If based on "bang for Buck" then surely Packer wins hands down? Packer = 34 games, Mbye = 60 games.

Ballin might be hard to beat on that basis = 3 games.

They were far from 80 minute games too.

Interesting point regarding Mbye playing 26 more games, but seriously, how many times should he have been picked out of that 26 games?... ??

People are quick to hate on Packer and Mbye ....they were picked to play for Ivan,he recruited them specifically for what he wanted ....Packer and Matalino played well for us while Ivan was here and Mbye was very good as well...We finally seemed to be on the right track when Ivan ditched us like the weak turd he is,he knew we needed him,we all got on the bus and then he had to go back and coach his son...he had a contract with us and should have done the right thing and seen it out with us,he knew he was leaving his son at Penrith from day dot,Chin was never going to leave his mates..
Mats med retires,Packer unlimitted injuries and Mbye goes from good recruit to very verstile utility player and done the job best to his abilities...I wont ever name call him as most on here do because I have never walked a mile in his shoes and would never know what he has been through...big money was offered and he took it to PLAY FOR IVAN and BE COACHED by IVAN...I cant and wont bag him because of Ivans backflip,some players play well for some coaches and some dont....PRIME example BLAIR for Bellamy and bugger all for SHEENS...

 

[tiger_one]

Worst player for us?
There' a few in the mix and still heaps more after that.
But really, hard to character assassinate anyone too much - footy is business, each player was chosen to play for our jersey, some proved better than others.
I'd rather look at the zillions of positives and examples of the unforgettable players we've seen in our jersey.
Treasure the good times.

Well said. I haven't always been a detractor of those guys, but some of the things forum members have posted about them are downright funny. As any WT supporter will know, a sense of humour is a must, coz if we can't have a laugh our heads would explode.
Packer seemed to fall off a cliff, and due to an unfortunate run of injuries, never got back to being a dominant force.
Mbye though, and I've said it before, is a solid player. He was above average when we signed him, but after a while it became obvious he wasn't going to be a game-breaker. I think alot of us would agree his gameplay isn't comensurate with his salary, but we don't hold that against him. It just frustrates me that he can be an above-average player but doesn't seem interested. Whether it's the coach, club or team dynamic shouldn't matter. Fact is he's a foorballer who's in Origin calculations, and the chance to cement a regular spot in that team should be enough motivation for him to play out of his skin.
As for being the worst WT player, I personally don't think so.
