Adam Doueihi #227

What are the chances he hogs it and goes himself?

Don’t think so, we may see a different version tomorrow.

Give the racism a rest hal

After having served a 7 day suspension for racist remarks I’m back.
Just want to apologise to everyone for my stupid remarks, I get pretty worked up sometimes and lose control.
Shouldn’t happen to a man of my age but occasionally it does.
Sincere apologies especially to Anon- Tiger.
Let’s go Tigers !

“Of course he is [the best No.7 at this club]. His form at the start of this season proved why he’s so good."

Who said this very recently?

Do you own jousting sticks Hal? 😎
I bet you a Cam Smith avatar for 2 weeks that he can’t help himself at least once during the game.
@Jedi_Tiger do you wanna run the numbers?

So, I've just had my Yr 5/6 Friday arvo class, and our discussion started with the NRLW guard of honour that I was lucky enough to attend for Sala's 50th game, to the Roosters giant win last night, then the question, "Miss, what's your position on Adam Doueihi?" Great discussion followed and these kids, who play and follow footy, and are 10 - 12 yeats old, all said he shouldn't be playing and he's not a good team mate.

Top marks kiddos.

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.

Same as Terrell, Bula and a few others. They've had to put in more to cover for the guys injired, they're playing injured and guys like Terrell are physically burnt out. Poor bloke needs a week or two to freshen up. We just dont have anyone so he can have a break, imo thats why hes come off the boil this year. Same as heaps of others. We just dont have a roster of 30 players so the regular guys can be rotated out to have a break.

Sound like generation next have morals.

Without a doubt. The closest example I could give is Finefeuiaki at the Dolphins. Came into grade two or three years ago at the Cowboys and looked meh. This year he’s looked like an animal. He’s 22, at the age where players start cashing in on their potential. Makasini is 4 years younger.

You have made a similar comment about Finefeuiaki a couple of times. Looked like a future star from the very beginning, high impact player albeit initially only in shorter minutes off the bench.

Meh is more your Sukkar types

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.

Maybe should've just called it "The Centre"

We should still be able to find it under a new name. It’s the place that had the hair salon and where Benji’s Grand Final win with the Dragons was immortalised on the vestibule wall.

Same .. people forget the guy is 18!!! 18 playing against whiton , stagge, Crichton , Gagai, etc and he is improving the very week .. he will only get better

 

[TigerNeddyK]

He’s 18. It’s not beyond the realm of possibility he has a Moses Suli career, never living up to potential. However, the fact we’re not seeing signs of the player he’s been built up to be, outside of steamrolling Edwards in the trial doesn’t mean anything just yet. Very few players his age come into first grade and dominate. Takes a generational talent to do that. Give him two years and he could explode.

Also, he is in a team that is not giving him much opportunity, he is getting some ordinary passes and has pretty much been used as a battering ram/workhorse out of the 20 all year running at a compressed lane of forwards salivating at the chance of putting a shot on the 18 year old upstart .. and he has not shirked it

I can't judge Douehie. He has put up with situations that would break most players - years of almost being the lone decent player trying to carry a team going backwards fast. Most of the good players jumped ship but Douehie went through it all for the club, including dealing with Madge and his tantrums. We saw how weaker personalities like Moses, Teddy and Galvin ran away to easier clubs.

Adam and Api are like a lot of WT fans - staying loyal and gutsy when many lame-arse players and fans of other clubs would have quit. It's a miracle he only had one meltdown. As for Api, his poise under pressure is almost superhuman.

What? Doueihi has onky played decent the past 2 years. He has been bog average before that. Hardly been a lone decent player

Not even a decent player, a 14 at best....

 

[EllisFan]

I have little doubt Api & JL will be up for today. AD just needs to control the side and get the ball wide when it’s on.

Please don’t overplay.

 

[mrcasino]

Does anyone know what he said when he scored

 

[king_sirro]

Does anyone know what he said when he scored

Pretty sure he said "see, I am a halfback. Just because i throw the ball over the sideline and basically do nothing a good halfback does, im still a halfback and tucking the ball under my arm and running hard for a try proves it"

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

The only amusing moment of the game was Doueihi carrying on after he scored his try. If I was the chief playmaker for a team averaging under 2 tries a game, I'd keep my head down and shut up. But Doueihi has no self-awareness, like his partner Luai, who inplicitly mocked the team's woeful performance against St George, even though he contributes nothing to the team's attack himself.
