OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

You need to put that into context. A half playing behind a strong pack even if they do have defensive deficiencies will look better. As for Doueihi, do you recall Robinson targeting him when the Roosters strolled through his defence?

I think AD has some talent,but not a 5/8 . When he was first moved there, i said the opposition would target him. He is too awkward , and tall for the position, the big 6's like Fittler , Lewis and others were solid builds, and although not speedsters were far quicker, also with better lateral movement. I hope i'm wrong for the side sake.

You have to experiment at times and unfortunately you have to do that during the season. Trials and training are different to game time.

Look what happened last year with chopping and changing because of injuries...Sheens needs to have a top 17 ready at the start,not be undesicive going into season 2023...

I disagree. I'm sure he has an idea about the top 17 but if it isn't working you need to make changes. Injuries will also happen.

Doueihi's greatest threat imo at WTs is Laurie. Laurie imo is a player with a very high ceiling. He hasn't reached it yet of course but I'm sure under Marshall he will display his potential. He is a natural ball-player, has great instincts, can defend and is quick.

This Doueihi v Brooks narrative is false. The club has gone all in for Moses and I believe Marshall/Sheens have already made their minds up.

All in for Moses at 7. Where does that leave brooks?

Assuming we are a professional footy team then the only option is for Brooks and Doueihi and potentially Laurie to fight it out for the 6 spot based on who is the best performer relative to salary.

Brooks was basically a 6 last season as was Doueihi. Brooks was the better player but I think Doueihi has a lot more potential.

Let's see what happens.

At 6 consistent with how Sheens and Marshall have articulated how it will be.

So we are admitting that the brooks 10 year experiment at halfback has failed? And we now try him at 6? How long do you think is a reasonable timeframe for brooks to show he can excel at 6 before he should be dropped?

This is exactly right. Why do people think brooks has a guarantee on the 6 or 7 regardless of performance. This mentality that even exists within the tigers is probably why he hasn’t delivered in the last few years.

The money he's on.

This season in my opinion Brooks and Doueihi are pretty safe because they don't have much if any competition. It's just going to shuffling deck chairs on the titanic.

They both don't have contracts post this season. They've both been exceptionally well paid without delivering. We owe them nothing.

Agree with that earl, I'm just saying they are a shoe in for a spot until they are released, sacked or whatever. They won't go to reserve grade unless it's the Titanic.

Luke Keary handed over the 7 jumper when Sam Walker arrived. Does that mean Keary is a failure? Halves should be interchangeable.

Read the comments attributed to Sheens and Marshall on Brooks. It is not just "people" but the coaches and if you believe the rumours, Moses as well.

neither Brooks or Doueihi will be palying reserve grade in 2023 that is ridiculous
