Adam Doueihi #227

[Telltails]

No character or injury concerns at all hey.

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

 

[GNR4LIFE]

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

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.

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

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.

I know it was just the trial game, but when Andrews and Madden combined, Makasini scored 3 from the Wing. Just sayin, I know it ain't NRL, but that play has been parked all season and we simply haven't been effective since then.

As three time wooden spooners, he would be their marquee signing. His experience would be invaluable to the Bears. Mentoring the younger players in accepting defeat and disappointment.

 

[Tucker]

I can't see Doueihi staying Tuck if half is the only position he sees himself playing, can only see it being a short term thing, fill in until the young fellas stand up.

There are a few reasons why I think this marks the end of his time with us.

If Marshall forgives him, he risks looking weak. We're still a mathematical chance of playing finals, and this decision has thrown the coaching staff's plans into chaos.

More importantly, he's walked out on his teammates. Refusing to travel to Canberra is effective turning your back on the team, and I can't imagine they'll be happy about it.

Then there's the fallout. The club is copping negative headlines, the explanations have been vague, sponsors won't be impressed, and fans are lining up to slip the boot in. If he ever pulls on our jersey again, he'll be hearing about this every week.

I'd be genuinely surprised if we haven’t seen him in our colours for the last time.

That sums it up well man, OK then too bad, too bad it's time to hit the road Humphrey you won't be missed.

That’s the thing, I believe he will be missed. He is the only player in our squad who has a red hot go to score points.
Without him this year, the Dragons would be right on our arse competing to lose the spoon.

 

[69-05-41]

AD is such a martyr; an absolute legend; and hero of the common man He removed himself from the team to make the most profound statement that nobody has the slightest clue what he was trying to prove. He has put the team first in the most ironic of circumstances by self terminating just two days after his victorious judiciary pilgrimage cleared the way for him to lead the otherwise directionless Tigers on a triumphant surge towards premiership glory. The personal sacrifice and stench of futility is so immense it will inspire his teammates to yet another putrid and insipid display of incompetence and indifference as their negative points differential goes exponential.

Does anyone believe this 💩?

 

[Yossarian]

I wld have backed AD and Anrews..the future
Benji way too close to Luai to make that hard decision

Who does the organisation though? I’m as critical of Luai’s output offensively but he’s the one doing what passes for structure. I mean it’s not great but I guess the thought is AD plus Andrews on debut isn’t cutting it. The secondary thought is AD is big enough to play lock and create a further attacking option. But honestly I don’t know what’s happening anymore…

Don't know what happened to that early form hey, shell of a player at the moment something has pissed him off before this week's meltdown, the way he's been playing advertising it.

 

[Yossarian]

Yeah i agree mate. This is the confusion that has set in around Adam Doueihi. Im happy to admit and say he was one of the form "players" of the competition , but he was no way one of the form halves. Im not even sure how i explain that comment, but I’ll try. As an individual AD was great. But as a 7 he was very limited, clunky, sideways and struggled to bring other team mates into the game. It really is a strange situation, you have a guy who is the form player in the comp wearing number 7, but as a 7 he is bottom 5....*thats after 7 rounds). I dont think I have ever seen it before.

Yeah he was a form player wearing 7. That Warriors game in NZ was a good example. His breaks that night were basically him playing centre.

It was all running game.

Coach “ Don’t let AD run” [Dean Young’s actual words on Fox]

Game over.

I’m finding ridiculous that some are throwing some of that 💩 at Benji.

The bloke got picked to play in the NRL run on side, again 🙄, and throws a tanty. He’s only doing it bcoz he thinks he can get away with it due to Benji’s a rookie coach, he’s done it before with Noddy. It’s about as self centred as you can get. He won’t have the balls with Bennett or the like.
Thanks for throwing the boot in Doobs.
