Was Mbye playing?
You might as well ask mate.
He got the lowest player rating on the park from the Telegraph.

What a mess our club is in - 700K for this nobody who cannot defend.

Watched old footage of Turvey last night.
Intense, passionate - using his explosive acceleration in attack, always backing up (so was baa),
putting his body on the line in D.

Mbye is another T-Rex - seems we are destined to have at least one 600/700k nobody in our team.

Don't get me started on T-Rex who was involved directly in two tackle misses that Cowboys scored off.

Mbye is useless, he's had umpteen chances to prove he can handle being a halfback but he's done fuck all, another waste of money, if he's getting 800k a season then it's 799k too much.

The kid can play but he gets the ball in situations where nothing is on. Forwards will get a roll on but when it gets in tolman and grahams hands before it gets to him they just slide off them. Both halves would benefit from a style of footy that lets them have a proper go. Remember how good reynolds was in 2012 when he got the ball with a bit of space
Mybe is a decent player but halfback is not his go.. Dessie needs to find another position for him. the bigger issue is that our spine is terrible.. Take a look at the top 4 as it is now, the spine they all have are class.

The worst thing about Mbye lately is that even when he does get somewhat involved, a lot of his passes have been shit. I'd say his short kicking game has actually improved in more recent times but he is clearly still adjusting to being a halfback.

That asshole, Kris Keating.
He made me sick.
Not because he was a shit half, it's purely because he's a ranga and I hate his face.

Mbye is starting to piss me off just as much with his 2 minute performances in every 80min game

This thread started in July last year but still makes more sense than ever.

Mbye is the biggest dud # 7 we have ever had.

If Hasler won't play him at starting hooker or as a running 5/8 then he needs to be punted to the ESL or just dropped to reserve grade immediately.

For the past month we've looked great when Frawley comes on and him and Reynolds play halves, Mbye goes to 9, Lichaa to the bench.

Why oh why does Hasler persist.

Probably because of his pride. Des wouldnt want to ruin it by dropping him. Just like the game plan it will stay the same all year because hasler thinks its good

Exactly. He is playing to our structures. But he wears the 7 and people are making ridiculous comparisons because of that. People expect him to do what a typical 7 should do, but he isn't a 7 and isn't being asked to play like one.

A half needs space and options around them to create. Atm he has fuck all space because the service on the inside is fucking sloppy and fuck all options because our forwards don't actually run lines. So how do people expect to him to "take control"?
Mbye played down the left edge 4 times last night and every single time he played the wrong option , he can't read numbers he has no vision and plays with no passion.

He is not made for the halves , he had a perfect 4 on 2 situation and what does he do. Kicks it dead. He's not a playmaker and he can't kick to save his life. I was a supporter of mbye in the halves but not anymore. Either he plays dummy half or we should get rid of him

Des wont put Mbye in reserve immediately after giving him 800ks/year for next 4 years.

This is another Trex scenario for DEs here

Still not getting why Des insists on Mbye at 7 and Frawley at 6 while Reynolds is out. They would be better the other way around imo.

I wonder if Mbye actually thinks his good or he begs Hasler to get him out of the halves?
