Wests Tigers have today announced the club’s new leadership group for the 2022 NRL season.
Wests Tigers are pleased to announce a five-man leadership group that will consist of James Tamou, Adam Doueihi, Luke Brooks, Tyrone Peachey and Ken Maumalo.
The five players, who were appointed to the leadership group by their teammates, will share the captaincy duties throughout the 2022 NRL season.


Wests Tigers Leadership Group
Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe congratulated the group on their appointment.
“On behalf of everyone at Wests Tigers I would like to congratulate the five players on their appointment to the club’s leadership group ahead of the 2022 season,” Pascoe said.
“It’s great to have a group that consist of players in different stages of their careers, and I look forward to working closely with this group over the coming year.”

James Tamou​

Having captained Wests Tigers in 2021, James Tamou will remain in the leadership this season as the most experienced player in the squad.
With 286 NRL games, 14 State of Origin matches and six Tests to his name, Tamou will enter his 14th season in the top grade this year.

Adam Doueihi​

A Balmain local junior, Adam Doueihi returned home to Wests Tigers ahead of the 2020 season — signing a four-year contract that will contract him at the club until the end of the 2023 season.
Capable of playing multiple positions, Doueihi gained international experience as a teenager with Lebanon at the 2017 World Cup and was one of the leading players throughout the 2021 season.

Luke Brooks​

A local junior of Wests Tigers, Luke Brooks made his first-grade debut as an 18-year-old and became the first Wests Tigers player to win the Dally M Rookie of the Year Award.
The Holy Cross Rhinos junior has won the Kelly-Barnes Award on three occasions (2018, 2019, 2021) and claimed the Dally M Halfback of the Year Award in 2018.

Tyrone Peachey​

A versatile representative player, Tyrone Peachey joined the club ahead of the 2022 season, and has made an immediate impact, being named in the club’s leadership group.
The 30-year-old joins the club with a wealth of experience, having played 179 NRL games, five matches for the Indigenous All Stars and three Origins for New South Wales.

Ken Maumalo​

Representative winger Ken Maumalo will join the club’s leadership team after joining Wests Tigers last season.
The flying winger has played 116 NRL games across seven seasons, as well as playing four Tests for Samoa and nine matches for New Zealand.

Bolters has to be Peach and Kenny. Both I would support if I was a WT player.
Peach is good based on he's real competitive and is in the thick of things guring a game.
Hopefully this role will spur him on to have a great year with the tigers.

 

[trentrunciman]

Oh Jesus not this again, “leadership group”

 

[upthetigers]

What a joke! At least swap Tamou for Twal.

 

[Moh]

Weird, but whatever.

Agree Twal should be there ahead of Tamou, or at least in there somewhere.

Kenny? Nah, don't see it.

 

[innsaneink]

Just says no one player is suitable

 

[Moh]

Also, "appointed by their teammates"?! Is that a thing?

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

No Twal, no Stef. This place is a joke.

 

[jrtiger]

with Doueihi not due back til mid season I don't think there's one outstanding candidate. that said it does show we still lack leadership.

 

[earl]

I like it. I don't see any standout option. I like Nofo not being there. I think Twal should be there but I think Stef is the only middle forward that is guaranteed a spot.

 

[Merlot]

all the power and best wishes to the fab 5

 

[Geo]

Twal and Nofoaluma were in last years group..

 

[momo_amp_medo]

Based on experience looks ok.
Twal is no leader or mentor and young Stef needs to concentrate on his game with no distractions.
By the way all NRL squads have a leadership group …. so not sure what the (some above) problem is.

 

[Don Kershane]

The remaining 12 will have to do a lot of saluting.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Pretty much every club has a leadership group. Nothing to see here.

 

[jadtiger]

2 local juniors and 3 experienced players from outside.Its a decent mix and to be honest we do not have a standout candidate at the club

 

[Lauren]

Just says no one player is suitable

There really is no obvious choice and though he'll make a great future captain Adam Doueihi will miss some significant game time, plus there's an uncertainty of whether he'll regain his previous form.
Also, honestly feel it's much too soon for him to be handed the captaincy and while there's some surprise with a couple named, I feel it makes a lot of sense for the club to name a leadership group.

Happy with this good to hear thought and effort that gone into it. Also each bloke are wonderful people. Get behind them.

Cool to hear it was team mate selected

 

[TigerVinnie]

Would of been happy with just naming joint captains Brooks/Douehi or Tamou/Douehi, with one taking the on field role until Adam returns.

Who does the ref approach when all 5 of them are playing at the same time?

 

[JC99]

Has this ever worked for any club ever? Embarrassing

Doueihi will be captain by himself soon enough
