OFFICIAL Moses Mbye [Discussion]

[gallagher]

You will notice Madge talking about our spine Josh, Benji, Brooks and Farah. No mention of Liddle or Mbye.

Mbye article is interesting in light of Madge’s appointment. He is strong, fast and agile with a good pass. His negatives are he runs soft and is lazy in defence and getting back.
Madge will either make his career or end it.

I have a hunch he’s not Madge’s type
Of fullback.

I noticed the lack of talk about Liddle, but your right, he omitted Mybe aswell.
Maybe just an oversight but it's interesting that Mybe has came out with what he said.

Was thinking same thing…listened to all the interviews and no mention of Mbye and then the article comes that he has not spoken to Madge and doesn’t know anything. Very strange from both for one of our highest paid players

That said Mbye was pretty impressive for his first year as a fullback. That’s the issue when you keep changing coaches they all have different styles and like different types of players. I think Madge will be the best thing for Mbye.

Oh yeah, unless there's a new recruit coming in Mbye will be fullback. It's just an odd story.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

He might be the best fullback we have atm, but that doesn’t mean Madge won’t look at options outside the club if Mbye is not his cup of tea as a fullback. Idk what happens if Madge doesn’t back him there, because he is one of the most average halves in the game when playing 6 or 7.

 

[Harvey]

Will Madge do an Ivan and chase players he has a history with?

Alex Johnston

 

[Geo]

Umm cause he hasn't mentioned him…my god..loooooooooong off season..

 

[Tigerdon]

Madge has only been at the WTs for a week, Tops. He would have been doing his research before he came but I wouldn’t read too much into what he isn’t saying just yet.

 

[Guest]

Mbye is our best fullback, so he should play there. I’m not sure who our second best fullback will be in 2019 but there would be daylight between Mbye and our next option

Agree, I'd be keeping him at fullback.

Yeah I wouldn't be moving him from fullback.

yeah i agree, unless he gets injured during next season…then dylan smith would have to be a stand in

 

[TSupps05]

I thought Mbye looked really good at fullback last year. He is only going to get better as he becomes more accustomed to the position.

I look at him as our fullback for the next 3 -4 years hopefully

 

[sideline_eye]

Absolutely he will be our fullback next year. He may not be as good as Tedesco at this stage but I do believe that he will be an elite class fullback, given that he went so well last year and was called into the Qld, State of origin camp after only playing half the season at fullback.

I know it's true that different coaches like different styles of players but the thing they have in common is that they can all recognise class and I doubt that Maguire will want him to play any other position.

 

[Demps]

Mbye looks good when he tries.
I did notice a few occasions where he appeared as if he wasn't trying - somewhat coasting through the game - this stuff isn't going to fly under Madge's watch.

Expecting big things from the Noosa boy in 2019.

 

[innsaneink]

Not many players come to mind when it comes to not having a red hot crack at it….its extremely obvious when you see it,
Darius at Newcastle, Bryce Cartwright...our own Timid Moltz...have seen it from MM

Mbye isn’t anywhere near that list.

I'm a Mbye fan.
He's a 50/50 player.

Not as bad as Hayne.
But defo needs to become a 100 player.

 

[softlaw]

He needs to work hard on ordering our defensive line. More talking/ yelling/ directing from the back.

I don't know if I'd read too much into it Snowy … he almost forgot to mention Rowdy as well ....

Can you imagine the uproar if he mentioned Liddle and Thompson and left out Marshall and Farah as an example .....

I think in the situations like that when being interviewed certain names roll off the lips , far better to forget Liddle than Benji or Robbie :laughing:

26 more questions follow if you do that 😱pen_mouth: and a terse , tense look from Robbie and the sudden feeling on knives digging into your back

Gone are the days of loyalty': Mbye says Klemmer's Knights move a sign of the times
Christian Nicolussi

The pending move of David Klemmer to Newcastle should come as the biggest wake-up call to rugby league fans that loyalty in the NRL is its rarest commodity.

"It's funny it involves Klem because he's one of the most loyal blokes you'll meet," Klemmer's good friend and former Canterbury teammate Moses Mbye told Fairfax Media. "At the end of the day in the modern game even coaches are now [breaking contract]. You have to do what's best for you and your family.S

"If Klem goes to Newcastle he'll get himself a nice pay packet, he's got a family to support. Gone are the days of loyalty.

"You only have to look at the leadership in the game with coaches changing clubs. That's how it goes know. If you get an opportunity you take it.

"That's why you can't hold a grudge against Ivan [Cleary], you can't hold a grudge against Klem. That's the way it goes now and it will continue that way.

"One-club players will become more rare."

Valentine Holmes continued the trend of breaking contracts when he walked out on Cronulla this week to pursue an NFL career. Scenes in Brisbane this week have become farcical as Wayne Bennett returned to the club - seemingly only to await an imminent swap deal with South Sydney's Anthony Seibold, even though they are signed up their respective clubs for another 12 months.

John Sutton at South Sydney, Mitch Aubusson at the Sydney Roosters and Paul Gallen at Cronulla are the last of their kind.

Klemmer's rich four-year deal with the Knights is expected to be rubber-stamped next week.

Former Bulldog Mbye was squeezed out of Belmore before June 30 and lured to the Tigers by Cleary, only for the coach to return to Penrith with two years to run on his own deal.

While Mbye believed Cleary's integrity would have taken a hit with the general public and fans, "those who know him or have worked with him know he's a quality guy".

"The outcome is we've got a quality coach and a premiership coach on board in Michael Maguire," Mbye said. "Ivan had an opportunity come up and it was too good to refuse. It ticked all his boxes. He got to coach his son. You can't begrudge him for that. Not in the modern game.

"Maguire has got the credentials to get us to premiership contenders.

"He's got a reputation for hard work, he's passionate, he's had a 12-month spell from the game and no doubt he's kept the fire in the belly and he's raring to go."

Only rusted-on fans expect the Tigers to improve and end their seven-year NRL finals exile next year.

Mbye said the first thing that struck him when he arrived at Concord was the team's spirit, and now with Maguire's tough work ethic, things looked bright.

"We're not the most star-studded roster in the competition, we don't have a lot of Origin players and internationals, but we work hard for each other," Mbye said. "We beat a couple of the best sides in the competition only to bottom out a bit in the middle of the season. People can forget how much effort and how tiring it is for a young and inexperienced group to knock over the giants and then get up again. It can be taxing."

The sight of a fit Josh Reynolds was one of the early highlights at the joint venture the past few weeks, while Zane Musgrove will add some grunt up, front provided he can also remain fit.

The Tigers have one more spot to fill on their 30-man roster and are in the market for an outside back.

I am confused by this statement.

Yep. We're no certainties, but we already have a better squad than last year. One place higher wouldn't take a miracle.
