OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

Makes sense. Maybe Adam is trying to negotiate his own contract again and the ace up his sleeve is that he'll go to Isaac Moses if they don't offer him a new contract.. if Douhei is the one who leaked that he was signing with Moses as a strategy, it's even more reason to sign him .. shows the kid has game... Game we need!!

Either way, I think Douhei bring versatility - halves, centre, potentially lock. We should lock him down while we can, especially if he wants it... He's only 26.

We can't be upset at a guy wanting to stay, then complain that players like TDS and Galvin want to go because they are a bit younger..

I stillt think Douheis best footy is still to come

I hope his best footy is still to come because between some good patches he has dished up some rubbish. He has definitely improved over the last few months but for mine unless he turns into an excellent lock over the next few rounds he is depth if he stays.

If Moses has been asking around clubs it wouldn’t take much for it to get out. As they say there is no secrets in rugby league
He’s probably just using Moses to do his legwork to find his value and then negotiate with the club to stay

I'm not getting sucked in by 2 reasonable performances by Doeuihi. Fans have been sucked in before only for his effort plays & performances to fluctuate from ok to piss poor.

If AD can put together a consistent strong 6 weeks at lock & the team performs better as a result, then Richo should sit down with him at that point. Nothing before then.

If he signs with another club in the meantime, so be it!

Jolls, you could say that about every player in this team. No one other than May, has been consistent.

I was being polite using the word rubbish. There are times when he just has no effort and if it is not his immediate responsibility it is not done. Too often than npot he strings together a couple fo good games and then drops off a cliff.

Compared to what? They both ripped in for half the season. Hunt struggles with fitness and Bird with injury/discipline but they still put it all over the Mbye/Packer/matulino period. To be fair I didn't mind Matulino, he had a crack. But the other 2 were on 1.5 million together and offered waterboy skills.

Sorry but they aren't dud buys. Especially Bird. He's done what is required with the pricetag.

If we had a more stable squad and a better balanced forward rotation - Royce could have been a point of difference and a genuine weapon (which I'm sure was the intention when signed)!

Do you agree Snide Hunt needs to pull his thumb out and bring down his weight to achieve more minutes.

Not at his age - he was signed for impact not big minutes.

Kolomatangi this year proves that you need to find keep big forwards in their ideal playing-weight range - & not just force loss of weight/size for the purposes of supposed endurance.

But looking at his last game in 1st grade he looked much bigger than the beginning of the season when he looked good, think he may have been dropped for letting himself go.

He was required to START his last game in first grade - and was off the pace.

But he was never supposed to be a starter - and I'd still take him over that media boosted bum Stefano who is on 3 times Royce's price (not including his Origin cheques)!

He's been playing more minutes in reserves so he could be ready for another appearance could use him this weekend our pack is light compared to the Titans
