OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

Hey, we got played!

We so got played. Ok this is tin foil hat stuff, but unlike current garbage I reckon this is on the money.
So you have Flanagan, Payton, Webster etc managed by Issac Moses. You also have AD sign up to Issac Moses

^BTW AD signing with Issac Moses, a massive FU to our club.

So suddenly AD starts playing better then normal. I mean this happens and he always had that potential and would bring it out in a few games. Plus he is injury free for the moment.

But the interest from the Dragons... That's Issac Moses leaning on Flanagan. If no one else was interested in AD, his price would be rock bottom. Issac pushed his coaches to show interest, Payton told him to get bent but SF feigned some interest to get AD onboard so Issac's client's price was high.

Were getting played.
Or maybe were not... Except we know exactly what Issac Moses is like and how he did this in the past.

No moses, no more. No excuses. This is a critical failing of Shane Richardson to get the rot out of our club.

Am sure Moses played a role
But for what we probably paid for Douhi.hes a much better value buy regardless than ANY of our other halves
Its up to Benji to extract consistency from him

Ill be more specific....Latu at $500km isnt ready just yet,but will be one day..I think..I hope
Bud at $550k (were still paying $400k)isnt first grade..never will be.Probaly wont ever play 4 us again
Madden at $250k or so will never be 1st grade standard.Seen plenty of him..careeer back up
So exactly who is left in our halves with Luai(assuming he stays)?
...if AD can reproduce his recent form,,hes an absolute bargain

Thought AD said he hasn’t signed with Moses a few weeks back.

AD has never been one to do something if he doesn’t want to do it.

Even if AD signed with Moses to give the club a FU moment how does that really put a FU stamp on us when the deal is all in our favor? Was done in 3 weeks, is 2yrs and around 350k is basically boarder line min top 17 contract these days.

Don’t know about you but that isn’t a FU statement or moment for Richo & the club.

We made an offer before St George were in the picture.

They extracted an extra year...they didn't extract extra money. Richo held firm on the cash.

If we want to put on the tin foil hat, maybe the 2 years was Richos plan all along? Maybe he knew Moses would be seeking extra bids to drive the price up and used the extra year as the levrage instead of the money knowing the offer wasn't genuine?

We could play this game for hours.

I suggest he was contacted by Moses and he said sure, if you can find a deal that I like, I'll look at it and you'll get a commission, but his negotiations with the Tigers were between him and the club.

He never once trotted out the "I'm just leaving it to my manager line". He just said "we'll see what happens". He also called out Richo directly which indicates he wasn't leaving it to Moses.

Could be wrong, but it seems it has gone down that way.
 
Some of the posts and arguments on here regarding AD now look completely misguided. If the final deal accepted by AD was $350k per year for 2 years and Richo stood firm on that even though the Dragons offered $500k per year, then Richo has done exactly the right thing and secured AD for good value (hopefully if he remains on the field).
It is a good positive story for the club and for Benji as well. Especially with all the rubbish touted that they were on bad terms. Benji has been nothing but glowing about AD.
Obviously like many of us - Richo had a strong sense of AD’s future value to the group and the fact that he stood firm on that is a credit to his management of our roster.

I do recall Hagipantalis would store the most sensitive documents in the cloud too... carefully folding the contract in to a paper airplane and zip off it went out his apartment window.

Blueprints for his next 5 year plan were kept a little closer....tucked snuggly in the sweaty rim of his fedora.

What an enigma of a man.

Lee and Pascoe would have just re- signed AD for $700k a year

Agree. We know he has been his own manager for a while but remember him saying on an interview a month or so ago Mosses isn’t my manager.

Either way who cares. He is staying & the deal isn’t bad at all.

You hear some doozys on here. Apparently Cooper Cronk is our halves coach.
 
Really happy to see another talented Wests Tigers junior re-commit to the club. This refutes much of the usual press hype that AD and Benji are at loggerheads, and that Isaac Moses will steer Adam away from the Tigers to a better deal.
Lets face it Adam offers so much more to our team than Bud Sullivan, Jock Madden and Jack Bird. He is the sort of player that opposition coaches would look at and say, gee I hope Doueihi doesn't have a blinder this week. His ability to play and kick from the right side is also a bonus. Well done AD, Benji and Richo.
