Adam Doueihi #227

[Halbrowne61]

I think AD would be smart to accept 350K next year with a clause in there for 27’ based on his performance at lock. If he can nail that down it prolongs his career and would earn him better coin.

Given he’s had multiple injury problems I’d say he would want concrete offers for next 2 or more seasons. He’s not going to have too many further options to max his money. He turned 27 on the 5/8 so he’s looking at age 29 for his next contract.
I think he needs to bleed top dollar, I’m sure if we get close he stays with us.( plus saves agents fee).

A lot will come down to his relationship with Benji. If they’ve had regular chats about how AD fits into Benji’s plans then I’d say he’s better off staying for our rebuild. If Benji doesn’t see him as our first choice utility moving forward, he’s better off going to St.George where he’ll no doubt end up in the same role.

he’s staying!

DT: “Adam Doueihi is poised to accept a revised two-year deal with Wests Tigers now trying to find the salary cap money to retain Charlie Staines, Brent Naden and Reuben Porter. Doueihi's imminent retention and the recent arrival of Mavrik Geyer from Penrith and young Ethan Roberts from the Sydney Roosters has put the squeeze on Wests Tigers' salary cap.”

Cap squeeze from signing two guys on almost minimum wage? Yeah right.

 

[weststigers]

He is not a 13 and doesn’t want to play 13, he wants to play his best position which is somewhere in the halves.
Considering he continues to show he is our most influential player when he plays 7, you would think common sense tells you that’s where we would continue to play him.
But not Wests Tigers and its fans, when something works well we decide it’s a good idea to throw that in the bin and try something different.
And we wonder why it’s been so long since we last played finals.

He has played 2 games at 7.

 

[Demps]

Rumour is there was some serious interest from Perth.

It is the Telegraph so it would have zero credibilty just like the rest of Mudoch Media.

 

[Jolls]

So, they sky has not fallen. I am surprised.

What about the Manly game where we had no idea what we were doing in attack before he moved into the halves and sparked us ?
If you or anyone else thinks he was bad against the Eels, try re-watching the game and watch how sharp our attack looked for the majority of the game.

I'm looking forward to reading the article. We must have come in over the top of the other 15 clubs with a $750K offer.

Maybe Jerome realised he doesn’t look anything like a 1.25 million dollar per season player without Douehi partnering him in the halves, so he’s agreed to reduce his wage, by 150k to give us more cap space to re-sign Douehi?

Yeh cos AD was lining up alongside Jarome in all the Grand Finals & Origins he’s played

The Eels were last place and we scored 22 points against them. Below are all Douihis games and starting position.

So we have scored 80 points in 3 games with AD in the halves
That is very good considering we have struggled to score points most of the season.
Case closed.

So we just pick 3 random games and add up the scores and state "case closed"?

I can play that game too. Rd 3, rd 9 and rd 13. We scored 92 total points with him playing centre.

"Case closed".

Causation vs correlation.

Also 80 against, so 80-80!

It's really nice to see AD, at every chance he gets, calls out Richo for a contract. He really doesn't want to leave.

Would definitely be one of those Richo mentioned knocking on his door for an extension you'd imagine.

Glad it looks like he's staying.

Bolter for the Kangaroo tour??

No, but he did have a solid halves partner who could take on the line and kick ok. They complemented each other.
Now I’m not saying AD is even close to chin, but there are some similarities that , imo,help JL.
