OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

[Betterdays22]

The place is an absolute pressure cooker. Big Loss after big loss, controversy after controversy. I'll forgive Adam for making a mistake in a fairly high stress environment. Im a little less inclined to forgive some of his defensive efforts in the last month.

His words in the presser were good. Actions will matter much more than words. Fans are sick of words. "Next man up", "accountability", "brothers" just empty words. No more jersey grabs, no more hero plays, play where you're told Doueihi, its a team game.

Unfortunately the AD petulance and the club response make it very difficult to espouse accountability. The standard you ignore/walk past is the standard you accept and the club has ignored the actions of AD, virtually every former player has identified he couldn’t be immediately brought back into the team after what he had done.

Wow sitting out a week of football is the penalty for killing someone... Dramatic much.

I don't need to do anything. Your the one re writing history. But each to their own.

? re writing history, how.

 

[Droppy05]

If only it was as easy as saying sorry, being forgiven and everyone moving on. The reputational damage done by these actions to WT, Benji and AD himself will live on far longer than any sorry that has been dished out.

Only if you want it to. Nothing a good win on Sunday can't fix.

 

[Tim Sheens]

In Adam’s words the 7/13 jersey had nothing to do with it

Do you believe that?

 

[Tiger-ferret]

I find it hard to believe Adam had no idea what sort of storm this would have created for Benji and the club with the media.

It wreaked of someone trying to bring Benji down.

Follow the leaks!

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Not making excuses, but we really hold high expectations of footballers in their 20's.

Douehi is 27. He has had access to probably a decade of resources for leadership, personal development, media training. These players rub shoulders with elite sportspeople and coaches, business people the list goes on.

 

[Harvey]

As the 7, he has to lead them to a win.

Don’t say that. The outside backs won’t see any ball

Love to see AD kick long to corners, pass to the backs early and just take the line on 1 or 2 times each half. Open up opportunities for others.

 

[Toothless Tigers]

No need to talk about what should happen this weekend. The only answer required is to put in on the field and doing it for 80 minutes.

Thatd be good if we had some speed in the backs

 

[Buttface]

What are the chances he hogs it and goes himself?

1 000 000 %

 

[Red88_Tiger]

Do you believe that?

It’s one side of the story direct from one involved. It has to be reguarded as the truth. Unless Benji slams him for lying you will never know and are accusing him with speculation the only evidence.
Surely he’s more credible than a journo that get their info through Chinese whispers

 

[NT_Tiger]

What are the chances he hogs it and goes himself?

I seriously wont mind if he hogs it and goes himself, once. Get the opposition thinking, same old ball hog Douehi, then start delivering nice short balls, long cut out passes and grubbers into the in goal.
At least in my imagination.

 

[twentyforty]

since the opening of the $70m Centre of Excellence we’ve collected 2 spoons, a 13th and this season we’re 2nd last and can’t win against the bottom team. I think it’s fair to say that the excellence is going to take a while.

History's precedent of Doueihi undermining the decision of an earlier coach not to play him as a half says otherwise, so there is no way that he gets any benefit of the doubt truth wise when his body language doesn't match either.

Do you really think that he wouldn't have played halfback against Canberra if he wasn't moved?

 

[EllisFan]

Outside of that trial Makasini hasn’t shown much, think he’s been pretty injured.

But every now and then he gets early ball and shows a glimpse of what he can do, has been stopped right on the line a fair few times.

I’m excited to see him after another pre-season.

Thought he was better v the Dogs
