Buzz literally makes stuff upWho is the player that Buzz Rothfield has said is upset with the treatment of Jackson Hastings and has informed his management to look at his options?
I listened to Buzz on the Daily Telegraph NRL Podcast today and when speaking about the Tigers he said along the lines of “I think Adam Doueihi is unhappy there… I get the feeling he’s not happy”.
Now the key issue here is that Adrian Proszenko (SMH) recently said Doueihi may have parted ways with his management and may be managing himself - Danny Weidler (also SMH) has mentioned he’s after $900,000 per year.
So if he has parted ways with management and is managing himself, then Rothfield’s comment about the player speaking to their own management to look for options doesn’t really make sense, although the report about him parting ways with his management came from the Herald (not DT) so it’s possible Rothfield doesn’t know about the management switch and has just got wind that he’s unhappy.
Either way, we know Doueihi and Hastings are mates, we know Doueihi wants a big upgrade, we know he said last year he only wants to play 5/8 and we’re looking to sign marquee halves - I think this is who Buzz is referring to. I don’t think it’s a coincidence both major media outlets are writing stories about him essentially being offside with the club.
Personally, he’s not worth $900k. If push comes to shove, I’d be happy to see Staines at 1, Laurie at 6 and Doueihi out the door if he continues having an attitude that isn’t team-first.
Said last week that the bulldogs would entice Moses with the club captaincy .
Has anybody ever signed or stayed with a club because of captaincy ?
