Mythbye & Reynolds both duds and part of the reason Tigers are still a rabble.
Whilst both overpaid. I hold no resentment for Reymolds. Always put 100% first and played with his heart on sleeve. Mbye on the other hand is an enigma that was able to bluff to captaincy and maroon representave. But the jig is up.

Potentially a great player, but never rises above promises. Now & then turns in a good game just to disguise the fact he is an average player that managed to get Good $$$$$ for the past 5 years.

Mbye was athletically gifted but lacked any real footballing skill and hence, why he was difficult to classify and pigeon hole and to succeed when it came to a position... the club was right in moving him on

Even QLD fell for it... stuffed up their chance at field goal and was way out of position for the game winning try... so glad qld have no idea and played the fool
When he slipped over trying to cover defend on that last NSW try..made my night...hilarious.

Mbye's just another headless chook like Lewis. Couldn't have been happier when Walters picked him for the QLD bench. Was an early sign of the rot that's set into league in QLD right now.

I remember he had 1 good game 3 years ago. He scored a try, maybe 2 and set up 2 more, made over 230mtr with 6 tackle busts. He scored over a 100 fantasy points. Since that day he has averaged 20 odd fantasy point. Makes Anasta look like a clever half. Is with Ben Hunt the most overrated players in NRL.

he's a massive waste of money. At best 200g. That's pushing it
I'd take him back for 180K. Would be a terrific alternative for a branch utility.

.....Nah. He badmouthed the club when he pissed off.

HE is CAPTAIN Mybe!!! Some body elses problem!!! Ha Ha Ha !!!

Honestly never saw the hype around Mbye even when he was a junior coming through. It was ridiculous that Castle and Hasler even offered him that money when they did. Does not have one ounce of footy smarts about him. He single handedly lost us the 2014 grand final.

I will say that Mbye definitely was a victim of not having one position. Was always just a utility guy that plugged the hole. In saying this, he's spent the last year and a bit at Centre and has done nothing. Spent a couple years at fullback and still couldn't catch. Spend a few years in the halves and did a DWZ and played the ball backwards in the 2015 Semi v Roosters - OG's will remember that lol.

don't forget the kennel overwhelmingly wanted mbye
Yes there was uproar at how long it was taking to get his re-signing contract done.

The origins of "its coming" "shortly", "in hand", "presently" "in due course", "imminent" "drawing near".

A lot of us got it wrong.

I don't get it with M' Bye.

He has pace, he is athletic, has ball skills, can play multiple positions and comes across as intelligent man when interviewed.

Yet he can't seem to get it together on the field. On paper he should be a great player but on the field he is just another average FG player.

The reason he gets these big contracts is because he has all the attributes to be really good and everyone is waiting for it to happen but it seems like it never will and he is quickly running out of time.
