once they meet him

Cue Gus and a succulent chinese meal.

It sure paints a different picture on the situation but doesn’t explain what the problems within the club that AD is aggrieved about.

Could just be a Moses inspired fluff article to improve Douehis image. Like look ill make a sacrifice that might make things better. I dont know, the article really doesnt say anything about what Douehi expects to be fixed by doing this. Just that Douehi is willing to sacrifice his image to fix the problems there. Im cynical about it. It may be true but imo just reads like a p.r piece.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

If it had nothing to do with the change of position, Benji should name him at 13 next week as well.

Agree, but in KOE!

 

[EllisFan]

When Cleary is out, Ivan doesn't play Yeo at half. Great 13, doubt he'd be any good at 7.
AD might have been going okay, but ask his outside men what they think. He's not a half.
We are famous for having a heap of ball in the red zone for no result. That's on the halves. Both AD and Luai.
No grubbers, no chips, no deft inside passes, nothing. Zero.

Yep. You can’t sign a prodigy like Makasini and then stick him on the end of a backline that never sees the ball. If he’s going to develop at our club he needs the ball early and often.

Ok, let's assume you are right then and Adam did find about it on Thursday morning.

Are you justifying Adam leaving training and refusing to play?

I just saw Riccio's article - Benji told Adam after they had a blow up that he could play #7 if he really wanted.

And Adam is still not playing?

Again, maybe Benji needs to improve some things. But there is not justification in the world for the way AD has reacted to this - especialyl after beign given the chance again to play #7!!

I absolutly hope that Riccio is wrong when he states Benji was willing to allow Douehi to play 7 after he had his say. If that is true that sends massive alarm bells. In no universe ever is it a good idea for a coach to allow any player in any sport something they want after disrespecting the jersey. If thats true then all this accountability talk is crap, worse yet what example is Benji setting for the younger guys. Tell the coach to f off and youll get an N.R.L debut. I hope hes wrong cause it just sounds like absolute amature hour and total lunacy.

 

[liltiger]

Wasn't he called into the origin camp at some stage?
Definitely in the conversation..but

Last year, to help N.S.W train.

Yeah you're right, it wouldn't be great on either side.

Perth would probably throw a big contract at him to play 6 purely out of desperation at this stage.

He’d easily be their best signing to date.

No character or injury concerns at all hey.

They are the epitome of beggars can’t be choosers. Poor bastards.

They need some big fish. Got some honest club players like Wishy & Sorrensen.

Wisheart is just as good as Douehi - faster and defends better and plays more than one position - no walkouts to date

They are wooden spooners if they don’t do something soon. Hence why AD could probably have them over a barrel if he wanted.

I wouldn’t back us to beat any professional side based on our last month. Hopefully we see a bit of improvement in the next 6 weeks.

You want Doueihi to stick around G or hit the road.

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

Id bet money has got alot to do with it. I remember when he was handling his own contract he wasnt shy about asking for plenty at the time - and then he got injured again and his form dropped off and so did his value.
I reckon it would be killing him seeing some of the money that is being offered especially with the start up clubs. It's now or never for him if he wants to cash in and no doubt someone is getting in his ear about his worth.

Maybe he should just learn a trade, like Dry Cleaning in his Dad's Franchise chain? "Dry Clean the Doo Doo Out!"

I’d love him to play 13. But at the same time, I don’t want him to pull a heartledge

Actually think he's better..more robust and durable

Think a lot feel the same way from all angles, guess it depends if it can grow on him when he cools down.

I’d take those two at Tigers any day of the week.
