The Doueihi move

[king_sirro]

Thoughts on how he looked when moved to lock today?

I was impressed how he chased the contact in defence in the middle. I also think he freed up Luai, and with some reps at training things could get a lot better.

Lock is our weakest position and probably where he is best suited moving forward in his career - doesent have the speed off the mark for centre and it brings May into centres.

However we need our props to step up but adding Twal to the rotation would help and having Bird in nsw cup from it prob helps nrl team too

i like Dway hee as a depth signing ,nothing more

Don't start me on Bird. Geez he is terrible and has offered nothing.

I'd start Sione upfront with Pole and Twal off the bench

We should pull that trigger next week. Twal and May to start at prop. Douiehi lock. Pole and Sione off the bench to provide impact. Taylan left centre.

season over after today we might be 7 points outside the top 8
putting AD to lock might work but he wont be around next year so maybe thats what we need to be focus on

I reckon AD will stick around in 2026 on a 1 year extension. Then potentially go to Perth the following year.

 

[Merlot]

AD is a commodity whether he want's to play like that or not . Don't think we will offer him much. So be it

 

[weststigerman]

He looked good, but our left side looked bad due to the reshuffle with Bird in the centres.

We have manufacture a 13 somewhere and AD has potential.

However, we have to stick to a plan and stop changing players around mid game otherwise they will never get any cohesion.

 

[bbobb]

I think it works. He has size and is difficult to handle one in one but is wasted at centre as he doesn’t get to use his ball and organisational skills - which are his greatest assets. Latu and Luai are much better wider of the ruck.
Today we saw he can also be a threat when he runs in the middle as the opposition don’t know if he will run or pass. As a centre he is easily defended as it’s just a hit up.
He can also use his long kicking game. I did note that he still defended in the centres. Would you put him in the middle in defence as well?

I think this is half the problem.

We've almost had a different side playing every week.

He started the season well but looks cooked

Flanno got one thing right getting rid of Bird, we should of stayed far away, too slow for centre and too small for the forwards F useless.

 

[Tom Shines]

I’m at the stage now where they may as well start moving around the deckchairs on the Titanic …

Dway to 13 , Taylan to Center, Twal to bench , Bird can shake hands with the reserve grade coach on Monday …

He played a few reasonable games at the start of the year as a backup player (like Hunt) but has never really looked worth signing imho

 

[lathami]

Against popular thoughts, I think Hunt should be there. He would have done well against the wahs. They could easily pick our small guys out, we need the big boppers l, that’s why we got him, not fir his lateral defence…

 

[Buttface]

I think it shows we need an actual NRL quality lock and to upgrade Doobie with a decent reasonably priced centre back up.

unless its a world better , we don't need more backs

Ok then what about this:
I think it shows we need an actual NRL quality lock and to upgrade Doobie with anyone else who can tackle in a position we need.
Better?
