Trbojevic prepares for Mbye centre switch

SYDNEY: Tom Trbojevic says he is as much a defensive target as prospective centre opponent Moses Mbye as the pair look increasingly likely to square off with less than 20 games out wide between them.
NRL.com understands Mbye has trained at left centre in each of Queensland’s field sessions ahead of Wednesday’s decider, with Michael Morgan on restricted duties due to concussion protocols and a shift back to his old utility role increasingly on the cards.
Mbye has played his last two Wests Tigers games at centre, making for nine in total in what is regarded as the game’s toughest defensive position across seven years of first grade.
By the same token, Morgan has started just the three Origins at centre in his career, while Trbojevic’s stunning hat-trick in Perth came in his 10th outing at centre having played almost all his NRL career at fullback for Manly.
“I think (Mbye) has played a bit of centre the last few weeks as well, but no it’s not his first position either and he’s going through the same transition as me and we’re in similar spots,” Trbojevic told NRL.com.
“We could target him, but they can also target me like that so it goes both ways.” – NRL.com
