Adam Doueihi #227

[Spartan117]

Objectively

AD has been under valued / under respected his entire career.

I dont support the refusal to play but he could have rocked up and played like garbage which others do.

I see two very distinct sides to this and i will say in no way shape or form should Doueihi spit the dummy and walk. Having said that he looks as though he's playing busted as it is with his shoulder moving him to lock is just silly imo with the extra defensive work load.
If they shuffled him to centre i wouldnt have any issue whatsoever player can have the shits ect but coach picks the team. I can get why they've done it if it wasn't for Latu being suspended im guessing he would have been in the halves, our season is shot can't blame Benji for having a look at the young halves in advance.
I dont know if i see a way back from this for Adam tbh you can't be doing that no matter the circumstances and perhaps Benji if he was thinking of this switch should have advised AD not to fight the charges and risk further suspension just my 2 cents.

Like he did last week?

 

[weststigerman]

How much did the lawyer get for getting him off the suspension only for him not to play anyway?

 

[tigertragic]

I'd like to think AD and Benji are man enough and value their friendship / working relationship enough to work this out as gentleman.

This isn't kindergarten.

AD’s response would suggest otherwise.

If what mole says is true ……

This is the shit I have been concerned about with having the may and fainu bros. Not saying this has to do anything with them , it’s this clique culture. Piss one of the bros or someone in the clieque you have divided team or players dictating

It’s Seyfarth and Twal .

He has been

We also have a lot of sin bins and send offs. Last game we had 2 halves sin binned.

Interesting the Penrith rumour (Seyfarth)…I wonder who contacted who first.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

The best thing Doueihi can do would be to come back and apologize to Benji in front of the players if he still wants to stay at the club.

Let's be honest what other club wouldn't have concerns other his behaviour, telling the coach this is where I will be playing, would Bennett, Bellyache or Robbo put up with that.

If you are moved to another position to hopefully improve team performance, do what you're told it happens at other clubs regularly and this is where you find out if they are team players.

The way he argued with Adel on that podcast … where one of the has done all his accreditations and career development in footy , and the other has never played a game in his life , as both opinions carry the same weight says all IMO. I can’t say Im a huge fan

 

[liltiger]

I remember 2 young halves going on a run having a field day one year, and im convinced they did it because they didn't have a senior half with them. Both being young meant they just backed themselves, worked together and didn't sit back. Both were not as talented as Javon and Latu, but they did the job. Im talking about Mark Mclinden and Andrew McFadden for Canberra. I have always had the belief that there are benefits to having 2 young halves, especially if they are confident and super talented.

No mental scarring

Last 2 games stats for Adam Doohie

Try assists: 1
Line break assists: 0

If Andrews gets 1 try assist and 1 line break assist tomorrow, he will have done more in one game than AD did in two. Lets see how it goes.

 

[hank37w]

This is pretty much backed up by comments made by Adel Hage who would have been here and around the playing group for 4 or 5 years.

Some people were shocked when he stated that he would let Adam Doueihi go because of his poor attitude.

For those that missed it, have a look from about the 44 minute mark onwards for the comment about Adam Doueihi.

Also some interesting comments from about the 40th minute regarding Samuela and an interest comment about his brother Manase that might surprise some.

What the heck, if you've got the time, just watch the lot.

 

[Tim Sheens]

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.

I could have somewhat put up with that huge deficiency in his game if Adam brought more as an individual than he detracts from the team in attack, which he does spectacularly on occasions, but never enough to balance the ledger.

We don't know how long this most recent episode of pick me where and with the number that I want to play in issue has been around, but seemingly a while longer than just this week. Still, whilst Doueihi is carrying on like a toddler, I also blame Benji and the coaching staff nearly as much for not knowing better than to basically guarantee it last off-seaso. Especially so with Adam's history of petulance.

I disagree, I think he's been very very over valued.

He has consistently been praised by the media and fans, but has done nothing at all for us.
He doesn't clutch games, he doesn't attract players, he doesn't make players around him better.

He is a mid tier player, that doesn't excel in any one role and refuses to be a team first player.

Even in terms of his pay - he's only been under paid for 1 or 2 seasons, in which it was justified because no other team wanted to take the risk on him, or rehab him because he had only played like 5 games in 2 years..

Regarding him not playing like garbage, I would argue he has been one of our worst for the past 2 months, and has made our attack look like reserve grade standard.
