Official Moses Mbye signs till 2022..

[851]

Ahh they’ve tried offloading Woods. No one wants him. Mbye is the only player they were really willing to trade that another club wanted.

Parra wanted Klemmer, made an offer, the dogs rejected it, and I am sure Jackson would have attracted interest from quite a few, but the dogs chose to sell Mbye, great move. :astonished:

Because Klemmer and Jackson were players that were off limits. Mbye was obviously not a priority. Don’t know why we’re complaining 😕

I am not complaining, and the dogs are paying some freight, win win for me :slight_smile:

Not sure if anyone is as excited as me, Mybe also brings his goal kicking
We have 3 decent goal kickers in Masters, Lolohea and Mybe

This is the one thing that im worried about - Tackle Efficiency 66.4%
Lowest of all players in our squad

I had a good look at this during the week. its a major concern. Put it this way its worse than Thompson and Thompson just cant stop a man one on one.

My only hope is that the Dogs have been so bad that most of Mbye's tackles have had to be made in a two on one situation.

If not its going to be a long contract.

Thats what im hoping is the case when i looked at the stats

We are built on D (Well we were) so lets hope he adds more in our attack that we are so badly struggling with

Cheers for the research mate. I guess it all comes down to how Mbye compliments the team. Here’s hoping!

I did an analysis a few years ago on fullbacks. Generally speaking I found that in teams that conceded more points, fullbacks had worse tackle efficiencies. There were some outliers, but it was also near impossible to factor in items like defending line breaks vs on-line defence, whether or not the fullback played more in line or out back, whether they played other positions during matches etc.

Two years ago Tedesco had one of the worst tackle efficiencies of all FBs, as bad as Ben Barba for Sharks. But Tedesco had somewhat of an excuse, that Tigers leaked a lot more points than Sharks did that GF year, hence he may have had to do more difficult mopping up.

Oh yeah we signed MBYE during the week…Good Luck in your debut in the Mighty WESTS Tigers jersey....

His coming out of a team that's sitting second last on the ladder. How many of those were 1 on 1 or 2 on 1.

That was Ennis' point. Mbye was the player who should have been off limits in preference to Klemmer and Jackson. In Ennis' view he was more important to the team and their current strengths/weaknesses.

 

[yeti]

Oh, and I certainly am not complaining - great pick up for us. FB has been an obvious problem for us all year, as has the DH role. Both 'sorted'. Now we just need the big boys up front to start kicking some butt again.

Interesting numbers. I don't get the calculation for Noffo, though. If tackle efficiency is 'tackles made' divided by 'tackles attempted' expressed as a percentage then his percentage would be 70.4% [38 / (38+16)]. Of course I could be wrong about the formula.

That was Ennis' point. Mbye was the player who should have been off limits in preference to Klemmer and Jackson. In Ennis' view he was more important to the team and their current strengths/weaknesses.

I agree with Ennis on this one. I think Canterbury have treated Klemmer / Jackson the way they have, after the fallout from releasing Graham and Reynolds. Fans don't appear as tied to Mbye, so whilst it is potentially a weaker strategic situation, I can imagine ever worse fall-out if Josh Jackson is let go.

A counter-argument could be that Dogs are in the doldrums so might as well rip off the bandaid and make all the tough decisions at once.

I've always been of the opinion that go-forward is cheaper to pay and maintain than points-scoring. I.e. there are lots of meatheads around who can cart up a footy with reasonable ability, and there's not much skills training involved in it - just courage, toughness, stamina and size/strength. The difference between best and worst forwards isn't so large as best and worst spine players.

Certainly if the forwards are being dominated then your spine can't operate well, but there's normally 7 blokes contributing to the go-forward, so the workload should be distributed.

It really depends on what the Dogs thought about Mbye's longer-term potential. Maybe they are frustrated with what he's produced to date and think he's had his time. Maybe they feel they can spend his money better elsewhere, i.e. release an attacking footballer and buy another one.

Maybe the Tigers deal with Mbye was the most reasonable outcome; potential suitors for Klemmer or Jackson may have been very aggressive in negotiations. Tigers may have been more keen to take on Mbye than any other club, to suit our particular needs.

**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.”
