Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Well he’s certainly not a $8-900k player, yet.
He’s got to keep that educated ego in the real world.

My opinion on him is he is a centre trying to transition to 6, he needs to work on his defence and ability to create space for those around him to make that transition. I am happy for him to continue that transition but it wouldn't be paying him as a half, it would be paying him as a centre until he can show those improvements.

Gotta ask yaself...

Where did this info come from and why is it coming out on a Sunday morning?

Media spin....?

Surely he is self aware enough to know he isn't on that level, demanding an income of the likes of the best in the game.

There isn't 1 player in our squad deserving of such a high figure like that.

Well that all makes sense( except pay gap between AD and JH, imo more like 650 ea) but when do you think we might know ?

No idea as parramatta will move heaven and earth to keep him

Media spin....?

I don't think so mate. I think this has been the case for a while. That is why he didn't sign last season. He is after top dollar.

The players end up making these decisions for the club if the club is professional. It's an easy decision to make right ?

He'll need to win a lot of games next year to get anywhere near that price

Doueihi set to manage himself​

Wests Tigers playmaker Adam Doueihi is taking over his own management and has placed a hefty price tag on his services.

Doueihi has been selling himself as a No.7 or No.6 to a rival club and is after a three-year deal worth at least $900,000 a season. I’ve been told by those with knowledge of the situation he wants a minimum of $850,000 for the first season, with his price going up in future years.

With a dearth of quality No.7s in the competition, it’s a good tactic, but it remains to be seen if a club will go for that price. He is a quality player, but has had knee issues in the past. Even with healthy legs, he is going to need a breakout season to reach that level of income.

There are about half-a-dozen $1 million halves in the NRL, headed by Nathan Cleary, Cameron Munster and Daly Cherry-Evans, but Doueihi is not in that class.

The Tigers’ roster is better than it has been and if he can cash in on good service from the likes of Api Koroisau, Jackson Hastings and maybe Luke Brooks he may mount a case for an upgrade.

‘I’d do it all again tomorrow’: The real reason Young quit Dragons role

Craig Young has hit back at suggestions he was forced out as chairman because of his reference for Brett Finch using the club’s letterhead.

Wooden spooners.

Good luck to him though.
Might be able to get that coin..... in super league.

Maybe he can hit up Daniel Vidot and try and get into pro wrestling and make that WWE money.

Maybe try his hand at Hollywood also, be the next Dwayne Johnson.

.... we talking fantasies still right ?

He probably is just starting to believe some of the crap that get's posted on here.

He must have re-watched the 40 minutes that he played for us when he was top notch.

 

[Demps]

I cannot see one club in the NRL going for that deal, not even the Knights.

I like him as a player but if those figures are accurate, he can jog on.

Typo, he meant... $899,999 / year.

Our club needs to flourish and this would not allow us.

Injury history isn't on his side either.

Do posters not realise they are reacting to a media article. This is why they put that garbage out there because it gets a reaction every time.

If AD is worth 900k, we might see Kyle Flannagan become the highest paid player of all time - on his perceived worth in comparison, at 3 million a year.

A while back I read an article entitled “ some Arabs need to get a grip on their egos”,
Whilst it was politically motivated it could equally have applied to AD.

He doesn't look Arab to me.

I'll cop it here but I'm not meaning to be offensive. I have Lebanese relatives and they are Arab. I also have friends form the gym who are Lebanese but I don't think they are Arab.

I thought one of my friends was Greek and another Lebanese told me that was highly offensive because they hate Greeks. The same guy told me the Arabs ruined Lebanon.

If I'm wrong happy to be corrected.
