Doesn’t matter how motivated he is if his body isn’t up to it. Everyone coming to his defence seems to think it’s only about his ability. It isn’t. His body is broken.
Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion
- Thread starter MacDougall
- Start date
Payne Haas did an interview after he played us last year and I believe he was miked up. We were defending our line and Haas made the call “Douiehi is in the line” and called for the ball. He ran straight at him and bounced off him easily for a try - he knew he was an excellent chance at scoring.
I agree that he is dangerous in attack but needs to vastly improve his defence. Those calling for him to play in the centres should also be aware that if his one of the hardest positions to defend. Lots of shape will be thrown at him and he will be targeted (Think Cody Walker).
Personally, I’d like to see him as a ball playing lock. Yes, more defensive load but less decisions. He is a big body and can ball play he just needs to find the attitude in defence.
Are you a doctor or physio that has personally worked with him recently ?
Fair call that , and i would like nothing more than to see him fight his way back

Nathan Brown is 30 years old...are you saying we should "stockpile" 30 year olds to develop them into first graders?
Definitely won’t be til top, but he’s a professional who always looks after his condition so gives himself every chance ti come back ok.
Vaguely remember some accusations of plagiarism directed at him. Possibly going back to his time as a political speechwriter. Might have been Roy & HG who first called him The Parrot.

We got body language experts & now online
physios now. I was just pointing to Doueihi's
determination to get back. You wouldn't want
someone at 25 telling you u 2 hang it up neither

Douehi May turn into a centre.
As it stands currently, he’s bloody awful there.
We absolutely have cash. With Nofa going it’s a huge plus on 2 fronts - we can pivot his long service amount and cap count to another player which has more than 1 benefit to us.
We had an offer on the table for AFB which we pulled at the same time as we did with Luai and Olam. To make a formal offer you need the cap space.
Add to this we have players off end of 25 also which when you sign someone it’s rare it’s for 1 season so you can move the cap space around.
AD for someone who has been off his legs for a while looks ripped and has bulked up abit. In the pics he looks bigger than some of our forwards.
If he is hungry I’m sure he can add value for us it’s just what position and if he can just hammer than position for longer term success.
