Adam Doueihi #227

Should have sent Doueihi with Nofa to the storm and let their egos be melted by Craig abusing them and telling them that it’s not about them.

Or arrange Doueihi, Nofo and Brooks to have a chat with Wayne Bennett.

“None of you are first grade standard” and he walks off.

No not now but when I made the comment he was two weeks in and looking good as a runner around the middle but no doing much to help us with his fullback fundamentals. I.e catching a bomb, positioning etc.
So it was a throw away since I read with interest that he trained at 5/8 in the offseason.
Anywho.

I can't agree he is a centre, he is so clearly scared of physical contact he will never be able to defend at centre, or anywhere.

I don't think I've seen an NRL player so scared to put his body on the line.

Hate Brooks all you want, and i agree Luke has been disgraceful, but at least he puts his body, that is half the size of Adam's, on the line.

If he had genuine skill you might want to work with him, but twice we created it for him on the right early in the game for him to just die with the ball. Any other player would have promoted the ball into the space but he didn't look like doing it. He has no skill as well as no heart.

Agree with most of this. Always felt moltzen was the worst fornever put his body on the line but AD is a bigger cat
 
Surely we don't keep him or brooks past this year. SURELY they've seen enough...

Or is the club afraid to hurt their feelings?
 
It's not even his lack of speed that is the issue in attack, his reflexes are really slow and that rules him out of both fullback and centre play where quick hands are necessary.

He got caught with the ball numerous times yesterday when quick pass would have helped. When he did get the ball out under pressure he knocked it on once and reynolds nearly intercepted him on another. He had very little time but he didn't hit any of those opportunities and too often seems to get stuck in what to do.

Nevermind his defense, which is probably worse than any player I've seen in recent memory, arms flailing everywhere but shoulder nowhere to be seen. How can they play him? It's not good enough by a long way.
 
Very disappointing.
Brooks is better than AD, the corner posts is better than the pair of them.

Our problem is our back line, it lacks size and speed. It’s been that way for the last 11 years. Coincidently the same amount of time we have failed to achieve. Been banging on about it for years.

we keep putting slow and comparatively shorter players in these positions that pose no threat to oppositions, so the defence is focused on the halves Ignoring the outside backs. If I was setting up a team to play us I would compress the defence and invite the tigers to go around. If the play doesn’t breakdown before getting to centre/winger then most teams will round us up.
AD at best is a 14 nothing more. In a sport where pace has become a key part of the game he is as slow as wet week.

He was great at 6 against Canberra in the pre-season, playing with Wakeham at 7. He's not a FB.

All those years under Madge trying to carry the team has taken its toll on him. These days he's lost heart and become tackle shy.

Maybe AD was playing well under Madges coaching because he liked the coach and knew what a tough job Madge had...AD also doesnt appear to have mentally got over the last ACL injury..
I honestly think that the players are going backwards because of the comical coaching setup,maybe the players might not like Sheens and co but have to put up with them,same as we have to put up with garbage displays week to week....BUT then again we can always walk away for awhile....
