Adam Doueihi #227

[eyewondertoo]

last years game against easts where crighton brushed him 5 or 6 times is memorable. centre only if no one else is fit.

 

[hsvjones]

Judging by Press Conf I think AD will be FB as he settles and arranges the guys around better at the back.
IMO he is a better centre but if this move Brooks to 6 and gives Wakeham the 7 I am all for it

 

[Aubanon]

If he knew how to use his shoulders MAYBE he could have made it as a 13.

He's a centre or on the bench.

Has had enough opportunities

 

[Wiz]

we already have him signed for 2024 though. Do you stick him in another position and hope he gets an offer from another team ?

Yes. Or asks for a release. I always thought we should have let both Brooks and AD leave after this year. Couldn’t do much worse and the $1.7m could be put towards some cheaper halves and other signings. Or anywhere really, just a better use than the $ are currently put to!

 

[tigerballs]

An error machine. So many points flow around him. Missed tackles, poor kicks, bad passing, dropped balls.

If he set up as many points for us as he does the opposition we'd have scored 150 in 3 games

Play him at 8 and have him medically retired for a small heart.

 

[loklok]

He recently signed an extension as well.
Needs a smell in the lower grade

 

[cktiger]

For 600k no worries mate. You can't possibly be happy with the heart he is showing? It lack of heart that has kept us down for so long.

Happy with our million dollars halfback letting him take all the heat?

so it is other players fault he threw an intercept and couldn't tackle or catch a cold ?
Happy for AD to be in the team but should not be anywhere near the halves in 2023

AD was rubbish today and often overplays his hand. Meanwhile the number 7 has done nothing for best part of a decade and is today seen as a better option than AD thanks to Wakeham's play. AD didn't train all week, whereas Brooks did. Brooks is a proven coach killer that never gets dropped. Neither option is good but I know which one I would have dropped years ago. Hopefully we see more of Wakeham, although at this club I doubt it.

Ok

 

[Winston Churchill]

How good is this kid?
Can pretty much cover 1-7 and I'm sure he played second row for Lebanon in the world cup.

The only thing I don't like about him as he's a rabbitohs fan from way back now living his dream playing for them and he's locked in for a few years.

Guy is definitely worthy of a fan club.
I love watching him play.

… Tigers junior too.

These comments aged well.

Should we do a special thread of @Demps simping for Doohey for years? Is Demps the Doohey version of @pawsandclaws1 of Brooks?

next week you will likely see
7 wakeham
6. Brooks
1. Douihie

Def not a 13.

He drops off tackles like a fly...any big contact and he steps 'away' from it, pretends to throw out an arm...vintage Mbye.

 

[cktiger]

Ok

I’m sure you are. 🤣

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

to think he put his hand up to captain this side.... should be flat out making the starting 13

 

[DGilly]

It annoys me that he thinks he's owed the 6 jersey. When you're locked into the Origin side every year you can pick your position at club level. If you don't even get a look in for rep footy, you play where you're told to play

 

[Telltails]

Douehi is all over the shop. He has been drinking the cool aid over the off season and 0 out of three is the reality. Moving him to FB if that's the plan is madness imo if Laurie is available - most exposed position on the field and if you want to test a players mental strength when their game is off - Bellamy will have a field day with him.
He and Brooks together has been a disaster to date. If his head is not in the game he is no use to us in any position and especially not FB.

 

[Milky]

Needs to go to state cup

He hasn’t earned the right to the centre or FB jersey

Go back there, earn it and come back up

Has been our worst this year

 

[Roar_Power]

Could AD work at lock?
