The team is crap - there’s still individual players that would do really well in league.

No way. Save a extra 550-600k a year with him gone. Surplus.
He needs to train at centre because 5/8th isnt his position.

With Noffa and probably AD gone in 2025, that shoud easily give us enough space for another marquee signing.

I doubt it, do an estimate on what the players we have signed for 2025.
It’s hard to come up with an end figure below 10 million.

I thought it was that human trash, but why parrot?

He’s been sitting behind a microphone, bloviating for the last 30 years? Idk 🤷🏻♂️

AD $ would have been factored into luai I assume.
Nah, not my colour or style Tucker

He’s too slow for centre. If the club is serious he won’t be here.

The guy Big Screen has been talking about is a quality athlete and been closely looked at by a few NRL clubs for a few years now. The stumbling block is the ARU are paying him decent coin and most NRL clubs would not risk paying him the same coin as he is an unknown quantity as far as grade NRL. Also wingers you try and fill with mid to lower tier contracts.
If Benji is hoping to play an expansive attacking style game having two speed machines on each wing would be the way to go. Alex Johnson for Souths is pretty handy in making the most of a overlap

He’s a super rugby player that they called in due to injuries. He also played Sevens last year, so was an easy fit.

Agree, but he’s actually not a winger, they just play him there due to speed. He’s a centre / fullback.

Everyone writing off Doueihi.
With Luai, Sullivan, Sezar, Fainu...if these guys put that big body through a gap, he's a monster in the centres.
Our BEST centre, I'd suggest.
People are letting a couple of games where he tried too hard at 5/8 plus injuries cloud what we knew prior to those things- he's the most dangerous attacking weapon in the team.
And for people saying he's too slow- wasn't it Doueihi that ran down Tommy Turbo after he gapped us early last year?

I don't mind the games he tried too hard...issue is the games he didn't try at all, can reward that if we are resetting standards has to start I'm reserve grade and earn consideration in any position.
Classy player when at his best.
Apparently he’s worked extremely hard to get back on the field ASAP and if another ACL injury hasn’t slowed him down too much he will be in our NRL 17 somewhere.

Can turn a game on its head, could be our utility/
strike player mid-year off the bench. Wouldn't
bet against Doueihi, he's playing 4 his league career
