Happy enough with the presser.
Apologised to fans, teammates and Javon.
Lots of questions, lots more to be sorted out within the club but can be done internally. Even half decent 10 hour podcasts are sick of talking about us.
Let's move on as fans. Moved on, not forgiven and not forgotten.

Benji's presser is pretty good too.
He obviously knows he screwed up as well.
Same thing- moved on, not forgotten.

It all seems off to me. If AD is the best half back this week then why wasn't he the best halfback last week.
To me his explanation wrings hollow, especially the part about being gutted about last week's result and not being able to do anything about it. Well he could have played that would have been a good start.....
If he stays next year's season will be stuffed as well.
The meeting and press conferences were designed to shut down the media and seemed to have fooled allot of people in here.
Our last 3 months have been pathetic and the past week has been nothing short of a debacle.
Only thing we have learnt in AD picks the team.
I don't believe anything has been resolved, both the club and Benji look incredibly weak. Look forward the hog of a half back for the next 3 years.....

I don't think anyone thinks that everything is sorted.
The rest can be sorted away from the media. You hit the nail on the head, this was to shut down the media and the majority of fans.
Let the media find other things to talk about with other clubs. We can work on us in the background.
Well let's hope so anway...

How dose that work out for the improvement and ongoing success of our club.
We are in this situation because we cover everything up and sweep it under the rug.
Everyone will be up in arms at our next fark up winging about why this continues to happen.
Maybe the issue require the light shone on them.....

Fair comment but I disagree.
I don't think fans and the fear of fans should be the way to hold the Club accountable. They need to do it for themselves.

Conversely, if he is targeted akin to that of Galvin previously, then there is absolutely no doubt that it is about the individual rather than the team.
I won't be attending Parramatta stadium this week, but I would certainly be booing him with each touch of the ball if I was, because this is at Mitchell Moses and Woods levels of betrayal to me.
Then there is their common denominator of uncle Isaac and Adam bringing him in despite being asked not to, and especially when he knows that that parasite has a vendetta against the coach. He could have chosen another representative, but he didn't, so booing is deserved.

The problem with that is they have proved they can't and won't...
For me as someone who was highly critical and passionately offended by what he did re. Not playing and leaking to the media , I have to say for a guy to get up there and basically stand in front of the eastern side of this country , where he knows he will lead the Sydney and Brisbane news tonight …. And basically say he lost his shit … went full send and acted like a pork chop …. Took full accountability on just about the whole mess …. I dunno man what can you do but forgive the bloke. He stood in front of a bunch of blokes and basically admitted he lost all sight of the Forrest through the trees . I dunno . As someone who’s gone full send myself and torched all kinds of bridges and relationships at times , especially in my 20s… sometimes justifiable as I still hold those grudges , but others where it’s pretty embarrassing , to see a dude basically go through what I did , but in front of the whole country …
Would I have not played …. Probably not …. I probably would have taken a swing at Benji —- which is way worse .
I will say this Adam needs to go see a psychologist, as that kind of stubbornness and fight or flight , you need to work through that . Not for footy reasons but growth as a a man.
Because he got lucky IMO. He got lucky Benji is so humble and seems to genuinely care . Because anyone else , they’re in the process or torching his career right now . All because he let his anger and ego and to be honest , the losing , the fact the next gen are coming for him ….it was probably akin to a panic attack .
Personally when I get like that , it’s pure rage and overwhelming desire to torch the world . Pure fight zero flight . But he needs to see someone about it . Shits not healthy . And it will ruin his soul and any chance of a decent family life , when that happens , not because he will be violent or anything , it because when your irrational brain takes over …… it’s a bit like being blackout drunk . You know you’re doing it … but you feel completely justified torching your existence . When you come down from the adrenaline and dopamine . You realise what dickhead you are .
Hopefully he grows from this , and everyone involved is being straight up . As I think it took real balls from Adam to be contrite , and genuine …. And own it completely .
Literally 2 hrs ago , I was like Fark Adam Doueihi . That presser was genuine and accountable.

Yea, its hard enough following this club without grudges. I think hes just an emotional, hot headed stubborn lebbo. Met plenty them in my time.
Bloke handled it like shit, but atleast he gives a shit (despite missing the game).
Happy to.forgive and move on..
But im still shitty about the bog average bench this weekend.

Because it seems his dummy spit got him exactly what he wanted back to half back.
If that's the case everything he said today means jack shit .....
Journalists bread and butter is leaks. I doubt any of them would want to draw attention to it.
Thanks for the honesty of your post. I've lost friendships that I now miss later in life cos of objectively stupid crap I wish I could go back and not do. It's very rare someone in the public eye says 'I did wrong', especially now with all the sporting 'non apologies' eg 'I apologise if anyone else was offended' etc.

Didn't George Castanza essentially rage quit then walk back into his job the next week like nothing happened? This is similar.
Although the CEO of Origin energy saying 'I am sorry' yesterday for allowing millions of emails to be leaked, felt more insincere than if he'd kept on lying!

Brandon Smith said he wouldn’t play with him. As much of a hide someone like Smith has to say something like that. Supposedly he owed thousands of dollars to teammates at the Roosters due to gambling debts. All of that aside, it makes you wonder how many other players out there would feel the same way. If that’s the case, his value would plummet.
