Crazy idea and probably a bad one but hear me out. We have young halves coming through but probably not ready yet, we have many halves in the squad so it would be a waste to sign another one next year.

With Brooks at 6, I wonder if it’s worth giving Mbye a go at 7 next year. He’s our captain, a natural half and maybe putting him there might bring the best out of him by giving him that responsibility.

Yep absolutely crazy idea, you got that right. Mybe is a natural nothing. I would say being at 9 this week is probably Mbye’s last chance. The next step is out of here. Mybe is a sympathy Captain, that’s all. Should never have been appointed captain and inspires absolutely no one.

Yeah Madge definitely seems the kind of coach to give the captaincy out of sympathy and not hard work

At best maybe Madge may have been hoping it would encourage Mbye to go to the next level. It has had the exact opposite effect. Mybe would have to be one of, if not the worst captain Wests Tigers has ever had.

Not even close. Until he goes on national television, throws the club under the bus than walks out, then maybe.

To increase his value to offload him would be my guess.

Mbye may well have been promised the captaincy by Pascoe etc to entice him to come to WT?(along with the bucket loads of cash)
From day 1 he seemed like an odd choice for captain and he has proved it ever since. He wouldn't work harder than Lawrence, Farah etc did at training IMO.
He seems to be captain by default, definitely not playing performances and leading with inspiration, passion and pride.
Can't see him getting dropped whilst he is captain, this season is gone now so they will more than likely bear with him until seasons end and then if we are fortunate (and fair dinkum) he will be stripped of the captaincy and someone with a bit of gumption will lead us onto the field next year.

You reckon Farah should be looked on as a worse captain than Mbye? Not one of the smartest things you have said.
Farah busted his ring every week and demanded his teammates follow. Mbye would make a great politician by comparison.

Mbye is captain of a club who is slowly turning their culture around and he’s part of that whether You like it or not. As a player he’s not been that good, but it’s hilarious when people think that Madge would’ve picked someone out of pity. Madge makes selections off hard work and as fans we’ll never see what happens behind the scenes that influenced Madge’s choice.

Not one of the smartest things I've said. Indeed! Thanks for reminding me, I'd forgotten all about Shazza.

Not often you see a captain leave a club for a bigger contract. Don’t blame him for leaving mind you, but looks so bad when your captain walks out on you.

Mbye is a dud. Full stop.
Offers no leadership qualities whatsoever out on the field. He's a mute.
That experiment has failed, time to change.

As much as Scott Prince turned maggot the way he left our club, as a captain he was great. Always pushing, barking at teammates to keep the effort up- even in games we were winning comfortably. He was always striving for more out of them. I haven't seen Mbye say boo out on the field this year at least.

That’s the funniest thing I’ve read today. Thanks for the belly laughs.
 
Mbye didn’t make himself captain , he was selected there , same goes for the position he plays , it’s no good us ppl on here being armchair generals , we need to support the boys and the club , we are the fans 👍

Absolute rubbish. When players are performing well in their positions I’ll praise them to the hilt. When they are poor they deserved to be called out. Being a fan doesn’t mean being blind.

Maybe in the moment , but over the last few years it’s actually shown what a short sighted career ending decision it was . He traded in captaincy , legacy , potential rep honours as Fittler is against “me” players , and standing in the game . Seriously when was the last time media went to Woods for a quote or an interview ?
He was everywhere when he was our captain . I would say the amount he has made over the last few years would equate indirectly to the amount he has lost in things like appearances , rep honours , corporate sponsorship etc. Isaac really sold him a lemon IMO.
