I think the burning question that needs to be answered now is, are penrith still following him on Instagram?

Against mentioned this over a month ago, they unfollowed him after he signed with us ?

If so and he is on his way here then watch the Rumours of Mbye moving back to Qld gain Momentum over the next month or two
If so he needs to be here until Laurie is ready for fullback full time
Unless of course someone is willing to pay full freight
Mbye would be a good fit for Brisbane

Regardless I think he needs to be here for the year.

Mumbai is training the house down. He'll be good.

Not this rubbish again.

We'll see,

I don't care what you think of him as a player, making fun of players names is in my opinion disrespectful. You are not the only one that does it, I just find it off putting.

Non Wests Tigers player bar Munster are fair game..

Pongo

Guys, I know that 2 days ago I said there would be an announcement within the next 48 hours. Hear me out. Expect an announcement at 4pm. I won't say what day or which timezone, but there will be an announcement at 4pm. I have good mail (ordered some headphones from Amazon).

Madge has no issue letting Mbye go early if he can find a club.

What even if we don't get Laurie over early?
Who would play fullback?

That's why AJ is also training there.

Mbye’s only position in this team is 14.. this is a very important position as a game progresses do not underestimate the value he will be in that position!

I disagree completely.

Mbye would be a complete waste at 14 and our squad currently cannot afford to have him there. If we sign a fullback for 2021 Mbye goes straight to number 18. That's his position moving forwards. If there's an injury he can fill in for a number of positions but he did be nowhere near the 17.

If he's on the bench he's most likely only ever going to play hooker. And he's our 4th best hooker. He doesn't get a spot ahead of either Liddle or Simpkins.

Having your most expensive player not even making your 17 is disgraceful, and hopefully helps him move on to save face.

This is course is contingent on signing a starting fullback

Whilst I agree with your Mbye hooker assessment, I disagree he'd be only playing hooker.

Numerous times last year we had big reshuffles when someone gets injured or goes off for HIA. Look at our last game, Benji goes down, AD to 5/8, Nofa to fullback, Talau to wing and I think Chee-Kam to centre.

I even remember Brooks playing centre at one point due to injuries there.

Would be nice to have someone of Mbye's quality come in if someone in our backline goes down. Yes he's a very expensive benchie, but not playing him is even worse, and I'd argue he still improves our team in the top 17.

So you want to waste a bench spot on the offchance that we suffer an HIA or an injury? That's extremely negative thinking. Garner would play that role in any case. Do we really want to go back to Sheens style having a fullback on the bench? Yes he's a utility of sorts, and that's why he's a no 18.
We will need two hookers in our side for round one. Mbye isn't in our top 2 hookers so he doesn't get that spot. He gets fullback unless we sign a superior player. Can our pack get by with only 3 spots on the bench with the speed today's game is played at?

4. Wooden Spoon
The poor Wests Tigers, not only will they miss the finals for a tenth consecutive year, but they’ll pick up the wooden spoon along the way. They have some big salaries in Moses Mbye and Russell Packer clogging their cap, a highly rated young brigade with few NRL games between them, a half with 148 games and zero finals appearances, and a lot of inconsistency in the squad. They’ll be the big improvers of 2022, but this will not be their year.

From Jack Blyth , zero tackle..

Cant wait till he's proven wrong..

Why is it the off chance? Go back and watch how many games last year we ended a match with 15 or 16 players.

I'm assuming you're talking about playing Garner off the bench. If Blore and LL are our second rowers, what happens? Garner is a waste of a bench spot of Blore and LL are playing 80 minutes..

To be fair, our back up hooker has never played NRL and hasn’t played for over 12 months, he is a risk as well.

Mumbai is training the house down. He'll be good.

Yeah...training well and actually playing well on game days are two completely different things.

Blore won't be an 80 min backrower til mid-season at earliest. And Tuki may challenge Garner and MCK for that bench spot too.

And if ytou look at our HIA's the vast majority of them were by the same players. Lawrence, Taylor, McIntyre, Garner. Replacing these players with bigger players with better defensive technique will help minimise the likelihood of it occurring.

By your definition I presume you're thinking Rankin will grab a bench spot with Parra because he can cover all positions 1-7, +9?

If there's no injuries or HIAs does Mbye sit out the entire match?
