well put tigermate,i totally agreeAD right now is a myth.
Hasn’t performed as a 5/8 or FB or center… consistently … at a level that warrants him to be considered as anything more than a first grade player with potential.
Right now he’s no where near as good as Jack Wighton as a running 5/8.
He doesn’t have a crisp, consistent passing game… which is why he’s considered a running 5/8.
Yes, some long looping passes have resulted in tries, but a lot have gone out of bounds, behind players or forward.
His defense at 5/8 was terrible and if things don’t go his way he goes missing in games.
He was too slow and out of position as a FB, and was suspect under the high ball.
The only spot he would get in a top 8 team is either 14, or as a “top up” center on approx $450k.
Anything more than that is paying for potential which in all his games he’s shown maybe 25% of the game time he’s played overall… and that’s generous.
Everyone frothing on him on this forum are basing it on a low base bc at times he’s been made to look like a superstar in our wooden spoon team.
And he has a massive ego.
Personally I never thought we should’ve signed him… it was a typical tigers signing… sign someone for 4 years (when the next best contract was from the roosters for 2 years), pay them overs, and buy them for a a position that they haven’t had experience or excelled in…. He’s a taller, faster, stronger but less consistent Moses Mbye 2.0
Anyone saying different is basing it on potential and hope not what he’s done in games.
I could leave him as a center on $450-$500k, otherwise I hope he goes so we can find a proper 5/8 so we can stop “hoping” and discussing his “potential”.
You know you're a Wests Tigers fan when "we thought we had him" is good enough. Shades of Ma'a Nonu.You know you're a Wests Tigers fan when you conclude that because Gus Gould knows he isn't going to the dogs he MUST be staying at the Eels.
Dead set loser mentality.
Could it bit be he simply said no thanks I prefer the Tigers offer if I'm going to leave the Eels
Gus come in third in a 3 horse race.
Facts.

please tell me what you would rate him out of 10, in what position would you play him, and provide some examples which back up your position.Worst post of the week award 🥇

I agree with a lot of this. At his best he is just an average first grader. Moses Mybe is way faster than Douhie. It’s Douhie’s lack of pace that puts a low ceiling on what he’ll be able to achieve in his first grade career. We should let him play out the season and let him move on. The money could be better used elsewhere.AD right now is a myth.

It's great to have some exciting young outside backs at the club.Hearing Tupou most likely in starting side for first trial - he looks very impressive to me. They obviously rate him and Ngtutlik.
Brooks will be in the halves somewhere more than likely.Why do you choose to bugger it up by including Brooks?
the hate, or objective criticism as I have made several examples of his game that would be difficult to argue with, comes from the guy wanting $950K and most on here, including the media, think that we should "build a team around him"...The hate comes across.
He is no different to any of our players with potential. He has potential, has shown a bit but it's up to him to take the next step
Simple as that, unbiased.
With Tupou, Ngutlik, Bula, Scolari and Hill there is genuine depth now of young quick backs. A coaching team who will make full use of them if they put in the effort.I agree with a lot of this. At his best he is just an average first grader. Moses Mybe is way faster than Douhie. It’s Douhie’s lack of pace that puts a low ceiling on what he’ll be able to achieve in his first grade career.

Should pin that…I reckon there may be 4 or 5 contentious selections amongst that lot.2024 backline

I'd like nofo gone if someone would take up the contract.Should pin that…I reckon there may be 4 or 5 contentious selections amongst that lot.
No, but it is the 'manly' thing to do. Good on him if that's the reason. Obviously grown up since he left us.He’s coming all the way to tell Sheens that he will reject the offer? If that common in rugby league contract negotiations?
I can’t wait to see these and some of our other juniors progress through to first grade in the next couple of years. The excitement of the ride to the top is better than the view when you get there.With Tupou, Ngutlik, Bula, Scolari and Hill there is genuine depth now of young quick backs. A coaching team who will make full use of them if they put in the effort.
