With a 10 day cooling off period Perth might still have a chance

AD is a good footballer, but he is not a seven, maybe at a pinch a running six, but has defensive issues and seldom sets up his outside man. He has been one of our better players but I think it’s time for Andrew’s and Latu and find a new role for AD

I don't have an issue with moving Doueihi in principal, I just don't think you can chuck in a rookie halves pairing and expect anything. It needs to be one or the other with Doueihi I know he's not the the best defensivly but he also playing busted atm.
Doueihi and say Latu for 12 months and with Andrews getting a taste and then beyond that see how things pan out.

Doueihi is much better defensively in closer to the ruck where halves defend, rather than he is out wider defending as a centre.
When defending as a halve he has less missed tackles or missed assignments that have led to tries or conceded than what Luai has this season.

@kade7 do you know who the new person is that will be in charge of athletic development and rehab? Just saw our current guy is leaving

go back and look at thatgame against cowboys he did a Mitchell Moses and sheens hooked him

I’ve seen it plenty
- you might wanna take your own advice.
The whole lot of them collapsed, left him posted and he made a bad read.

Made all the more dramatic by Heignos spray - who was a far more experienced player left snatching at fresh air also..

he did a Moses and decided not to tackle only Moses has done that since...
cant blame luai for taking the cash and choosing a different club that is not dogging it

Moses was man of the match the week before wasn’t he?

deal was done at parramatta on friday tigers tipping in 300k , perth have come in late with a deal with third parties that would mean tigers will only have to pay a termination fee

watch the space around jamie humphries , grew up at the tigers , was a ball boy at the club for a few years

Termination fee still count on the cap?

who gives a crap if he was.
Moses dogged it that day his defence was pathetic and went in to get released to Parramatta

Didn't his old man have something to do with the club?

Totally agree,
Said the same thing a few days back.
We’re short a prop - put Twal there and find a good lock option to give us something else than tackling from 13 also.

Twal would not be a run on prop for any of the other NRL club.
And those on here with their rose-coloured glasses have him as run on prop. And expect us to improve? Dreamworld!
He is a wholehearted workhorse, nothing more, doing a first-class job as our lock.

Stephen is a former Balmain player who became CEO of Wests Tigers and later Manly, and of course Kevin was a former Secretary of the Balmain Club and later CEO of the Australian Rugby League, who was convicted( along with others) of siphoning ARL funds for his own use. Received a suspended jail sentence but left the game in disgrace.

By your own analogy - how many clubs in the comp is he starting 13 at?

And how’s their season looking?

I didn’t say he would be starting prop at any other club - but for this club, the only one I care about…
he’d do a better job at prop.

A signing like this plugs a lot of gaps. Would be a good get at the right price.

Doueihis defence was just as pathetic the other night (and he’s not a 21 yr old kid)
Better sack all the dogs ay?

Maybe we should ask why our defence hasn’t improved in a decade?

Stephen was ceo 2013 and re-signed

You'd assume Latu & Samuela extensions are confirmed soon. Manase a maybe. I'd also extend Skelton & Sukkar for next year for depth.

If we can land Blore & Humphreys I think we would be pretty well rounded with depth for next year just need another good middle & another up & comer young forward to complete the squad.
