Is there actually anything solid that MBye goes to the Tigers this year? Everything I saw was saying next year. Especially with MBye wanting. That and you have to think the only position they would be picking him for is FB considering the rotation they have had. If he goes to FB there would his scores really change? He has 80% FG accuracy for the year with 33 FGs. Lolohea (Who may not make the side if Mbye is there) has kicked at 75% for 9, while Marsters has kicked at 72% for 24. Mbye is statistically better and may not get the boot right away, but surely will get a crack if Marsters shanks a couple.

You only lose money on RFM if you trade him out.

If you remove tonights game he averages 49 points a game. Only having scored below 40 on two occasions.

That average would put him 11th in terms of 2RF talent. With the following guys a head of him.

J. Arrow, R. Matterson - Two guys who are probably better picks in other positions.
M. Taupau, J. Taumalolo, C. Hess, J. de Belin- Guys who can bust the biggest scores, but fluctuate themselves.
L. Fitzgibbon - He has scored 6 tries in 12 games. The bloke is a beast, but he also had a score of 23 points in 80 minutes. If the tries and attacking stats dry up (He plays for the Knights) he could post poor scores.
J. Trbojevic, A. Crichton - Probably two of the best guys in the position. One with Origin and one out this week.
N. Brown - Fuck Nathan Brown.

So for mine, although he looked shaky this week. I wouldn't say he is a must trade out. You make a good point about Murray, but if you have guys like Kikau, JFH, and Murray then I would trade them first. I am in the position where I don't have the trades or cash to bring in the absolute best 17 possible. So someone like RFM who is already in my team, will certainly do in this case.

You're probably right.  But if it was a HIA, it was soft, hardly a whack and a big concern IMO.  He's made around 250K now and Murray will be a must this week and you're right, it will be difficult getting a good final 17 by the looks and he could be a decent 17th man I guess, but signs are just not looking good, as I said, he was in the game some decent minutes today and didn't look dangerous at all like he has early season.

Mbye saying he wants to finish the year at the Dogs is just being diplomatic you'd think.
