Left field. Feel sorry for Rowdy, but I’m not against this.

Unexpected, but I'm just relieved it is one person who will touch wood be on-field most of the season

**Wests Tigers are delighted to announce that Moses Mbye will be the club’s captain for the 2019 NRL Telstra Premiership season.**
Mbye, 25, has played 103 first-grade games since making his NRL debut for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in 2014\. He joined Wests Tigers midway through the 2018 season and is signed at the club until at least the end of the 2022 season.
The Noosa Pirates junior has also represented the Prime Minister’s XIII (2016) and World All Stars (2017) and featured as part of the Queensland Origin camp in 2018.
Mbye will be supported by Benji Marshall, Robbie Farah, Chris Lawrence, Russell Packer, Luke Brooks and Elijah Taylor as part of the club’s leadership group in 2019.
Wests Tigers Head Coach Michael Maguire congratulated Mbye on his appointment.
“On behalf of everyone at Wests Tigers, I would like to congratulate Moses on being named captain,” Maguire said. “To captain a club with the shared history of Wests Tigers is a tremendous privilege and we are equally confident and proud to have him lead us in 2019.
“Moses is incredibly well respected by his teammates and carries himself extremely well both on and off the field.
"He is a great role model for all young players in the game and is more than capable of leading us forward in to an exciting time in Wests Tigers history.
“I’d also like to acknowledge and congratulate Benji, Robbie, Chris, Russell, Luke and Elijah on their appointment to our leadership group,” he said. “Their experience and leadership qualities are a tremendous asset to our team, and it’s pleasing to recognise the key role that they will play alongside Moses as leaders in 2019.
“Every person in this team has an important contribution to make this year as leaders — on and off the field — and we’re excited to move ahead with the group that we have.”
Mbye said that he was extremely proud to be named as Wests Tigers captain.
“Being named captain today is one of the proudest moments of my career,” Mbye said.
“Growing up, it was a dream of mine to simply play one game in the NRL, so I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had the career I have so far, and to now be recognised in this way by my teammates and coaches.
“Ever since I joined Wests Tigers, I have felt extremely comfortable and have learned so much off the players here.
"I feel like I’ve been here for a lot longer than I have with how well I’ve settled in and I’m looking forward to representing this club for many more years.
Moses Mbye is mobbed by his Wests Tigers teammates after scoring his first try for the club.
“I’m also incredibly grateful to be part of a team with such a strong leadership group, and I look forward to working with them to drive not only our team but our club in the right direction," he said.
“On and off the field, Wests Tigers have taken huge steps forward in recent years and I am thrilled to be a part of the exciting future that is ahead.
"To help lead this team forward is a tremendous honour and something I am incredibly excited about.”

Presented himself as a real leader when he arrived last year. Might be a good thing to have a fresh voice too. I feel for Rowdy, but trust Madge's judgement. Glad we have just one captain over the rotating circus we had last year.

A good choice I think.
Rowdy would’ve been good as well but I am still happy with the result.

Hear hear. Five captians was a total devaluation of the role. He’s here for the next 4 years, longer than anyone else on the roster, bar Brooks. He’s as good a choice as any.
Like people said a bit left field but i like the move.
Benji and Lawrence are not certain starters. Maybe same for ET. Packer spends 40 minutes off the field. Josh just needs to get on the park.
MBye is a certain starter, and a emerging leader, so why not bite the bullet?
Good luck Moses and well done !
