Mbye was a beneficiary of the frustration and despair the bulldogs felt after having let go Thurston. Management thought mbye would be the next big thing but boy were they wrong. The loss of Thurston has cast a long dark shadow over the bulldogs for 13 years.

Mbye is our version of Kurt Gidley and Des' next master stroke will be to make him captain from the bench.
Stranger things have happened ....Eastwood captained our Auckland nines team a coulple of years ago

Probably not a co-incidence that both Mbye's over inflated pay and She rex are Des' fault. He brought Williams over, and he also got Mbye resigned as a halfback, on halfback pay. But he isnt a halfback.

Back ended contracts that are killing us now..

The players dont want to win for him now, we seem to be tanking...

Everything that is wrong is because Des.
Tanking now so that we're under the radar for 2018. Des master stroke!

My thoughts on Mbye : hes a very expensive average hooker or half but for the $750K hes on he could very well prove to be a great fullback at a bargain price

Ben Roberts was better than Mbye and that's saying something.

We all remember Roberts had the shittiest kicking game ever, but then along comes Mbye with his heat seeker kicks straight to the fullbacks chest.

Also you knew Roberts had 2 good games a year so you could look forward to that. Mbye has never had a good game.

Mbye is T-Rex v2.0 but T-Rex is a better halfback.

Just remember when you saw T-rex make line breaks from 60m out or Mbye backing up a nice run from someone else that Josh Reynolds will be receiving almost 1 million next year to produce what he has at the Bulldogs.

I like you Oatley Dog

You're a man who doesn't know what he's talking about but you're not afraid to let that stop you talking
There was also confirmation after he left that he was only on $400k pa. that came from his manager, not some half assed journo or pretend journo. I doubt very much that you like me at all. But that's OK, I have enough friends to keep me occupied.

i am starting to believe that Des was also behind the 9-11 attacks

no saudi hijackers
no CIA
no Isreal

only

Fuck Des!
Des's real last name is spelt Hasller, he changed it to one L after the attacks.

Tony Williams. And he does a lot less than mbye. Worst. Buy. Ever.
He was more awful in hindsight, he had a lot credentials and performances that backed up his pay check at the time. Mbye barely did anything to deserve such a large price.

Yeh u could say sherex was overpaid based on what he had done before and couldnt live up to it, and Mbye was overpaid based on what he might do, which he couldn't live up to.

Terrible half. Will make a good hooker IMO, but is still definitely earning far too much coin currently!
To be a good hooker he would need a wig, plenty of makeup, fake boobies & a higher voice. Once you got the gear off it would be a big worry.

How about that pommy FB the warriors got and then sent him back home again? Wasn't he on $1m a year or some such? Every halfback Parra have had since Sterlo? Paid plenty for a few of them. Up until this year Widdop has been rubbish. Let's not forget Filiga - killing them in Cooma these days!

Mybe has been so disappointing.
Terrible halfback!!
Hopefully he is much better next season in a new position.
