The way Mbye has settled into the Fullback position makes me cry.
A lot of our supporters were calling for him to be moved to Fullback as far back as 2014. Hasler for some reason wanted to create a problem with having three halves fit into two. (Hodkinson/Reynolds/Mbye)
We were publicly looking for a "Rock Star" Fullback and yet had one under our noses. Not that Cleal and Hasler would know.
Anyway that's water under the bridge. What has surprised me is how he has all of a sudden turned into a calmer footballer. His confidence level is super high. His general play kicking the other night was much better than he delivered in a few years in the halves. His Goalkicking looks much better. He actually seems like he wants to do the kicking now. Previously I doubt he even wanted the job. Over the last two weeks when Holland has come on I fully expected Mbye to hand the kicking over to him. But he now has that ownership and I reckon that's come from Pay believing in him. I'm sure Hasler was the type that would blast him when things went wrong and therefore stuff his confidence.
Hopefully he goes to another level now. All of a sudden he looks cheap at $700k.
