I agree he is not a gun. But he is a massive upgrade over Tui and has been performing well for the Dogs until being shopped.
We are not far away every quality player we bring in especially fullback, hooker or edge back row will make us a much better team.
We are seriously weak at these positions although until he comes it’s madness not playing Thompson at fullback.
That's what I think most people feel. Maybe not the best FB in the comp, but likely better than anyone currently on the roster.
I have watched all bar one of Bulldogs games this year and Mbye is not the Messiah everybody thinks. Has a tendency to allow kicks to bounce, sound familiar. Remember the game against the Broncos. Lost game on the bell for pushing Darius however had ample opportunity to take that kick on the full in the first place. Will be a great addition as Utility.
Did anyone on here actually he's the messiah or anything like that? Most people are guarded but we typically agree he's better than the current FBs. He also has good utility value.
Sometimes a change of location is required to get the best out of footballers, we've all seen it before. Maybe Mbye still has more potential under the right coach, with the right gameplan. He's only ever been coached by Hasler up until this season, and Dessie was trying to force him into the halves role (sound like Johnny Cronk to me).
He's been called into the QLD Origin team, obviously in terms of esteem he's there or there abouts. Funnily enough not a single Tiger otherwise troubled for Origin.
