Compare him to say Dylan Brown. Or better still, Cameron Munster. Nothing more to say. But agreed, to be fair he needs a clear pre season and injury free run for the first time at WT’s.

Yes, punt our best player. Go back on your pills and leave the funny cigarettes alone.

he is not our best player
Who do you rate in our team Jedi?
Seems convinced he is - also has the media convinced he is…
Think his issue is all mental at the moment.
As @pawsandclaws1 body language has been quite negative & his interviews have been somewhat underwhelming.
Needs to get his mind right.
Maybe he has football anxiety like the other lad?..😂

A lot of hate for the King.
You'd think his first name was Luke...

Doueihi currently is an average centre, maybe in a few years he can develop into a good 5/8. Until then, offer him centre money. We can also save money on the winger that plays next to him, they don't need to be tall because Doueihi is, and he is never going to pass them the ball.

Funny, well, maybe odd that Doueihi is getting attacked tonight.
As a fan that is often bemused by "will to win" or "leader" and the like comments about Adam, as his match work ethic is often below par, I was actually impressed with his commitment and efforts off the ball in defence in Tamworth.
Surprised to see him working off the ball in defence and actually saving at least one try, so this would not be my choice of game to attack him over, as for mine he put in.

Doueihi really needs to work on his speed in the offseason. He could be so dangerous with an extra step because he's hard to tackle as is due to his frame. But unless he can hit those mini gaps, at best he's gonna have to bust a tackle and offload to create opportunities.
I'm not going to be critical of him this year because he's returning from injury and our team is pretty busted. Even if he hasn't gone well, he's still pretty clearly the 2nd best half we have after Hastings. Plus he's not a natural first receiver which he had to play a bit of tonight as it seemed he and Madden split the duty. Put Hastings inside of him and he's a much different player - i.e. Cowboys & Broncos games.
He may or may not be a long term solution in the halves, but he's certainly shown enough to persist with for at least another season.

Adam will be a centre and/or 5/8th at the WT , moving forward. What’s best for both club & player. Ball is in his hands.

Brooks does those efforts every game yet people still have a go at him.

Was listening to Andrew Johns on 9 a while back, he was saying to be fully fit after an acl takes about 18 months.

Most of the team appears to have clocked off for the year.
Exceptions Pole, Joe O, Laurie, Naden.

I said it over and over, he is a backrower. There he can hog the ball all he likes and do the tackle busting he is known for. For gods sake he is big enough to play there. Why does he want to be a half only. He probably lacks confidence in his defence.
If that ! But doubt it, He won't be heard of in 2 years.
Left right out!
