This is what we said last year with Lachlan and his feelings toward Latu.

So potentially we could end up losing Galvin, Luai and Douhei.

Ill tell ya what, Benjis going to want to pray the Latu and Andrews combo pays off.

No sure why Benji would resort to praying, luai was leaving regardless,Ads isn't a half he's been a care taker,you could say a 14 and Galvin wanted to go .play the cards you have and get on with it .now is as good a time for the young lads. What's the worst that could happen....If Latu wasn't suspended you never know Ads and Jerome might have both been shifted and or benched

Until his dummy spit i would agree with you but after his petulant behaviour he deserves to be picking splinters out of his backside on the bench in reggies,unless of course he apologies to Benji privately and then apologises to the entire squad about his dreadful behaviour.I am not a huge fan of Benji as a coach but he is the coach and demands a certain respect and if you want to play first grade you do what he says.Even the 3 worst coaches the Tigers have ever had (Jason Taylor,Terry Lamb and Alan Jones) deserved the respect of the players.
 
With all due respect, if Adam wasn't made of glass and played more games than he missed, was a proven match-winner and was a genuine first-class half then he has the right to question the decision (behind closed doors).

But he misses more games than he plays, thinks "defence" goes around the "de house" and lets be honest, nobody (including the Tigers) were in a rush to sign him when he was last on the market.

Adam don't confuse ambition with ability.

I don’t think Bennett would have let it happen, at the very worst it would have been an “ injury” so order was maintained.
Seems like Benji may have wanted it to come to à head !

I don't think anyone at the club is smart enough to let it come to a head as a strategy. I think Benji is plucking at straws in how best to turn our season around and there's a mess being left behind in the process. Typical WTs BS that we all have to be exposed to. Do yourself a favour and don't read much NRL media over the next week or 2.

so did he not walk out ??
the nrl media is doing a job, as a club we are the gift that keeps on giving
 
If True, Benji right or wrong is the coach, AD”s job is to play where he is needed Our attack has been piss poor since his return, line breaks non existent, As much as I have appreciated what AD has done in certain games, you don’t as a professional athlete but heads with your coach.

Bye bye AD from me.

My call was for AD to the centres as well; however, I can see the reasoning at to why the coaching staffmade the the call. Watching his last four games he has really struggled in defence. It could be his shoulder, it could be attitude, but if he is struggling to defend at 7 how is he going to do so at centre? The big issues he is struggling with at 7 in defence, decision making and his lateral movement, can be somewhat mitigated if he is defendingin the middle corridor. Whereas, they would potentially be exascerbated further out on an edge.

I called for him to be on the edge to strengthen our attack and push Taruva to his muchpreferred wing position. The coaching team are probaby more concerned about the ability to get ball to the edges in good to give the edges opportunities. Luai has runs on the board with Sam F and Herbert. The right edge has been stifled by our man AD. Not just this last four weeks. Even when we were on the winning streak and teams had not worked out how to defend AD at 7/6. Our point of attack has beome so predictable that defending against us has become very simple as the defenders only have to really focus on one player.

Even if you have not seen Javon play, the discussion on this forum and the KoE highlights, clearly show that he has eecellent pass selection. His stats, leading T/A in cup, back up the eye test. So we are potentially better balanced. How we handle the kicking duties and getting us around the park is a different story. However, if AD was to be starting off the pine I expect the simple game plan would be to get in the grind early and try to open them up with threats on both sides of the ruck and then bring AD on in place ot Twal to braeak the game open by changingthe point of attack and using his running game as a point fo differentialtion as opposed to a point of failure, as it has been over the last four weeks).

We (the forum as a whole) complain that the coaching staff have no idea; yet when they do make a bold move we shit can it before we have even seen it in operation. How bloody fickle we are.

The one I feel for in all of this is Javon. I hope he absolutely brains it, because his hard work in cup has got him to his debut. With AD tearing his party dress into tiny pieces, we don't have much of an option off the pine if he is stuggling.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I belleve Doueihi may be playing injured. Wasn't it his shoulder?

Doueihi wears his heart on his sleeve. I've no doubt Marshall and the CEO are aware of this and giving him a week out is a good circuit breaker. The club needs to deal with the real issue and "bro" does not cut it anymore.
