Adam Doueihi #227

We are talking about success at WTs.. not the success of coaches - no coaches have achieved success here since Benji was a player. Nor is there a capacity to attract coaches after the failure of two premiership winning coaches to make difference.
Why don't you focus on that!

I repeat keep bagging individuals that have achieved success elsewhere without addressing the rot of this club - that no one can succeed at - and expect more of the same.

Coach choice was never a conversation. of informed opinions
Benji,despite demonstrating absolutely NONE of the attributes required of a successful coach when he was a player,and never having serving any apprentiship in lower grades to prove his coaching skills,was annointed as coach.
There are clearly other issues,but rite now our pretender coach is the reason for the current calamity
Its a mess
If HBG had any idea they turn the whole thing upside down and restart with a Cheika or a Bellamy
..were easily the worst team in the comp with a diabolitical (ie dumb)future
 

Adam Doueihi set to walk out on Wests Tigers, Benji Marshall relationship ‘unfixable’​

Star playmaker Adam Doueihi’s future at Wests Tigers appears all but over, with insiders describing the halfback’s relationship with coach Benji Marshall as unsalvageable.

Adam Doueihi’s time at Wests Tigers appears over.

This masthead has been told that Doueihi’s appetite to remain at the club has all but evaporated and that he feels he can no longer play under head coach Benji Marshall.

Doueihi and Wests Tigers are expected to hold peace talks on Monday where the club will attempt to thrash out some deep-rooted issues and retain their star player.

But the marriage between Wests Tigers and Doueihi has been described as “unfixable.”

“Adam can no longer play under Benji – there’s no coming back,” said a source in the Doueihi camp.

Only a dramatic twist at Monday’s showdownwith Marshall could alter the “unfixable” relationship breakdown.

Doueihi’s shock decision to withdraw from Saturday’s game against Canberra wasn’t taken lightly given his passion for the club and was clear proof of his unrest.

The Tigers named their team for the Raiders match at 4pm on Tuesday but Doueihi was unaware he had been named as a reserve in jumper No.22 before the judiciary hearing.

“Adam felt totally disrespected when he fought at the judiciary because he knew Wests Tigers had to win the game,” the source said.

“The next thing he knew he was jersey 22 and in the reserves. He hadn’t been told by Benji.

“Can you imagine (Sharks coach) Craig Fitzgibbon dropping Nicho Hynes to jumper number 22 and not having a chat with him first?

“Adam doesn’t dislike Benji but the relationship is unfixable. For Adam to take such a drastic step to not play in a game is proof of that. Adam just doesn’t think he can play for Benji anymore.”

This masthead broke the Doueihi drama last Thursday.

While Doueihi may want to leave, he had a binding NRL contract until the end of 2029.

The Tigers may reject any bid to leave and try to pacify their star playmaker with Monday’s meeting with Marshall and most likely team manager Pat Richards.

Close allies have encouraged Douiehi to also invite Wests Tigers CEO Shaun Mielekamp to the meeting.

Doueihi also has some private concerns about the culture at Wests Tigers.

Mielekamp was unavailable for comment on Sunday.

Marshall will on Tuesday select his side to play Parramatta this Sunday at CommBank Stadium.

What unfolds at the meeting will determine whether Marshall names Doueihi in his side.

There is one common denominator in failure - WTs.
Let's talk about what they did after what was considered a successful year given where we started to - the CEO/ independents and tell me which experienced coach would trust their reputation with this mob.
You got a problem with Benji who extended him for 5 years without a CEO in place?
Where are all the leaks coming from now - media aware of pending blow up with Douehi.
What senior player decides not to play in any other club because the coach makes a positional change after 9 losses out of 11 and 22 points scored in 4 games - with Douehi handling the ball more than any other player!!!
Pick your target everyone has got at least one it doesn't change the fact that scapegoating will not effect positive change at the club .

Yeah if they dump benji now its much of the same. HBG then need to be held responsible for the 5 year contract, which they wont be
 
We debut our gun junior and accomodate luai by playing him on the wrong side . He drops Doueihi and apparently doesn’t tell him . This place is a circus and Benji is the clown .
