Reynolds Vs Mbye

[_G-Dog_]

Whos the better 5/8?

Forget about their contracts etc just a question of ability on whos better at 5/8

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Not a hard decision. One is off contract and the other isn't.

Id really like to see Mbye at 6 beside a decent halfback. Mbye has potential yet to fill if we can bring it out, Reynolds wont get any better

 

[KiwiDog7]

Cronk or Foran

Sad but true.

Mbye is the one with the multi-year contract while we don't have money to spend for Reynolds.

It isn't sad at all.

Thing is Reynolds isn't a 5/8 and Moses isn't a halfback. These are just the positions Hasler "created" for them.

Neither plays like a half (actually I don't even know how Reynolds plays haha but it's unstructured and all over the place). In saying that I think we lose without him last week.

Mbye is a fullback/centre/hooker, Reynolds is undefinable. He was a hooker coming through but he is a utility/bench player/impact player.

Neither has a controlling kicking game, neither has a great passing game, neither can set up their outside player or go to the line with options. Not sure if it's a reflection of haslers game plan, player ability or a bit of both.

Who is the better 5/8? On current form it's 6 from one and half a dozen from the other.

This. Although Mbye hasn't impressed, he's contracted with us soo...

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

I think getting Cronk will let Mbye play his natural game and only then can we fully judge him.

Melbourne was interested in Mbye to play alongside Cronk. Bellamy is a good spotter of talent and has turned plenty of nobodies into good players.

Reynolds is currently off contract, who other than the sharks is interested.

 

[Hacky McAxe]

Can't say. Mbye needs more time at 5/8 before I could say which one is better. Apparently he was trying to play a second 5/8 role though and didn't do that we'll.

I don't think the Sharks are even interested. Flanagan only said he was a family friend and he would "talk" to him if he had to leave the bulldogs. In the context of the interview it sounded much more like he would be offering advice as a family friend not offering a contract

 

[Berries]

Mbye would have had more then ONE passion try and zero try assists if he was paired with Frawley. That is all I will say.

I agree and get that feeling too. But if a contract was involved it would be similar to the lifeline offered to Tony Williams, bottom dollar and probably short term.

 

[TopDog91]

I think Mbye would be a better 5/8. But it's hard to say as I think that both players make each other look shit when they combine.

 

[Calibra]

Reynolds form is inconsistent, he can be a liability one game and win you another (last week for example). Mbye has not really looked the part as a 7 and had not had any great games. I think Reynolds plays best with a proper number 7 next to him and we don't have that with Mbye. It's why Reynolds was so much better with Hodgkinson next to him at 7, so really we need a decent 7 which Mbye is not
