Moses Mbye Super Duper Thread

[mike]

I know he played 20min at dummy half but would expect more than 65m from a fullback in 60 minutes..

The Bloke is phoning it in..

And makes under 10s errors. Seriously leaves his brain in the sheds.

He won't run, but surely the coach knew that before the game.
Everyone on the forum knew it , so I can only guess that Madge is happy for Mbye to be a passenger.

Who's the better full back option mbye or cini?


Mbye did set up that 1 try today.


I guess your taking away a ball player if you go with cini who more of a running man.

Yep he did 1 good thing in 80 minutes, the other 79 minutes were woeful,

I wonder if we persist with him once he signs with Dragons?? Could be keeping him in 1st grade shop window to sell him

Just hope Saints recruitment weren’t watching today.

So did Brooks and Liddle...

Mbye just needs to be told that he won't be playing first grade next season,at all, just like the Panthers did with Mansour. This will significantly drop his value for 2022 and damage his chances of getting another contract. He will find another club, he will adjust his value and he will be gone by next season, just like Mansour.

it is,what I suggested the club did with Talau last year in order to get JAC, if he knew he was not playing first grade for WT he may well have headed to Melbourne

Still can't for the life of me understand why we didn't agree to swap Talau for Fox or even Nofo for Fox.

I know hindsight is wonderful but far out

Far out what? Not much the club could do if Talau didn’t want to go. And at the end of the day, JAC didn’t want to come here anyway, so what can you do?

At one point Melb were willing to release him to the Tigers and he was all for it till Tigers weren't willing to send Talau or Nofo the other way.

Is this confirmed ? Can anyone prove this ?

Was so long ago I don't recall the original source however I do recall seeing and interview with Madge at the time where he was asked by a reporter about the rumors surrounding a swap between JAC and either Talau or Nofo and he kind of scoffed and said "David and Tommy aren't going anywhere".

There were also quoted discussions at the time advising JAC was open to the idea of returning to the Tigers hence the 'Heads of Agreement' he had with the Tigers. IMO you don't sign a Heads of Agreement if you have zero intent to follow it through. Once a suitable swap couldn't be brokered he decided to stay in Melb therefore nullifying the terms of the agreement which in turn left him free to take up a richer deal with Dogs months later.

remember the Madge press conference "David is going nowhere"

Yep on instruction from Lee

Mbye is an interesting example of poor recruitment. No denying he has some skill, and I guess that’s what Qld selectors saw in him? He hasn’t been a good fit at WT. I think the dogs should take him back at FB.

Was he a poor recruitment pick when we signed him, or has it just turned out that way?

He was playing pretty solid footy for Dogs at FB when Tigers signed him. At the time we had Lolohea as our FB who was very uninspiring. Dogs needed to offload Mbye so Tigers snapped him up. For the first yr or so it was fairly good business as Dogs were paying half, it's when their money ran dry and his form fell off a cliff that the decision appeared a dumb one.

You cant blame Mbye for coming here when he was recruited by Ivan who needed him and Mbye wanted to be coached by him as he suited Ivans coaching style...he was very good for us the first few weeks and then Ivan done the dirty on all of us including Moses...he has his haters but has been shuffled around so much since Ivan left that I dont blame him for his indifferent form in differing positions....I dont dislike the guy he is doing the best he can in amoungst an ordinary lot....

Yeh, I think he was, considering dogs wanted to move on Mbye and Reynolds. As I recall dogs were becoming increasingly unhappy with the pairs performances. WT had to upgrade Mbye’s contract to get the deal done, but seriously? 4years at $3m plus?

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I've had it with him. Cini played just over 20 minutes and ran over half as many metres as Mbye and made almost as many PCM as him.

Took the ball at fullback and shoveled it off all game.

Soon as he signs elsewhere he should be out of contention for selection.

He's a Adam Blair type.
Good at a club he feels at home then leaves and is disgruntled and never tries again.

He left his heart at the dogs.
He needs to go.

Bad for the culture.

 

[getagrip]

There is a comment on Fox Sports website saying that Mbye doesn't know where he will be next year???

 

[Telltails]

And yet Douehi makes mention of Mybe in the interview at the end of the game - how good it was having him at the back.
All pressure on the coach. Such a shortage of players across the competition the players hold all the cards. They know they will get picked up if it doesn't work out for them here, and they play that way.

If he wasn't on so much money I'd advocate for him to be played in reggies all next year and completely blow up his ability to earn another big contract.

 

[TYGA]

Some really bad contracts Mbye, Packer, Reynolds, Matulino have crippled the club.
Our rebuild should have started 3 years ago instead we are treading water with a lack of talent. Unbelievable mess Cleary created.
