Mbiri males being so far pre prime as being before 4 years old were beating such duos as Ross and Mapozas. If at that point they were already such a powerhouse then I would say even being past their prime and not in the greatest condition they have ever been they would still destroy great most of other duos of healty, fit and in their prime male lions and could still compete with strongest duos around. Also it is worth to point out that male at 10 years old is still closer to his prime than at 3,5 or 4 years old.

What preassured? lol Tintswalo males did not even once put their feet on Mbiri males territory. It was actually other way around. Mbiri males were coming in and out into Tintswalo males territory whenever they wanted showing no any respect to Tintswalo males, like not thinking Tintswalos were any threat to them.
Also Tintswalos had difficulty to deal with single Red Road. Mbiri males, even past prime seem to be on totally different leage.

Their problem is why the hell did they moved into Ngala insteed of staying in Shindzela and try to compete with Ross males insteed of Mbiris.

That is mostly because such coalitions of young unrelated partners are rare in general so proportionally it is rare to see them getting territorial. In most cases such coalitions are formed by old males that lost their brothers already and were left alone such as Freddy and Solo r Smudge and Mabande . For such it is often simply already to late to succeed. If it is coalition of young unrelated partners then they are not deem to no succeed. Examples would be already mentioned by you Orpens, but also Thanda Impis.

 Also another think to point out is that in great most of cases such coalitions of unrelated partners are only duo while it is not rare that blood brother form bigger group and if such comes to compete with one another the blood brothers will win, but not because their relation, but simply because outnumbering the oponents.
