Mbye #Mbye
Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire has shaken up the side’s backline ahead of Friday’s contest against the Newcastle Knights in Brisbane.
Earlier on Tuesday, reports emerged that Adam Doueihi would be moved to the centres after a handful of solid performances.

And on Tuesday afternoon, the Tigers confirmed Doueihi would be shifted out of five-eighth, while Moses Mbye will partner with Luke Brooks in the halves.
Mbye had never played at five-eighth in the NRL before the 2021 premiership.
Maguire has trialled the 27-year-old in several positions throughout the season, including at fullback, centre and bench utility.
In eight games at five-eighth this season, Doueihi has contributed six try assists and dived over himself on three occasions as well.
