Agree mate, not what you expect ! He’s wrong, but my point is that Benji obviously didn’t read the room to avoid this.

Benji would not have expected Doueihi to have spat the dummy and refused to play when asked to play lock.
Should be some interesting comments for the rest of the year.

I noticed on Tues at 4pm when the team was announced...normally if a player is at the judiciary hes named in his usual spot regardless of the outcome...they either then reshuffle or continue on.
He was named as a reserve

JAVON ANDREWS IS THE TRUTH. He is the future and Adam knows it, writings on the wall now he’s got his debut, future is now

This is what we said last year with Lachlan and his feelings toward Latu.

So potentially we could end up losing Galvin, Luai and Douhei.

Ill tell ya what, Benjis going to want to pray the Latu and Andrews combo pays off.

Ridiculous situation. As bad as the Luai situation is this is so much worse. He did the same thing a few years ago when he was put in the centres. Isn’t a half, isn’t a leader.

Fifita was named to start.

Did he refuse to play?

Exactly, so he must have been REALLY angry or betrayed or something ? He’s been loyal to the max so why this all
of a sudden.

Sorry mate, but I'm not making excuses for that behaviour.

If the coach asks you to shift so he can try something new, you need to be a team player.

As a senior player, he's also ruined a kids debut and made him feel unwelcome.

We can debate lots of things including whether or not Benji was right to do so, but you can't walk out of training and rule yourself out of games if there's something you don't like.

I'll be filthy if NRL distributes it's new media rights money evenly.

We clearly deserve so much more. Every podcast, ever news channel, newspaper, media House and talk show will be talking about this for a day or two..

No one gives you more drama than WT and we should be compensated fairly.

I don’t see how any journo can paint a player walking out of training and ruling himself out for being told he’s playing in another position, in a positive light.

It's childish he must have an offer from Perth

WT1969 · Jul 23, 2026

The shit show that is WT never falls to find a new way to derail another season.

Sorry but AD can f*ck Off now and go to Perth Bears.

Ok RHS so why lock and not centre ?
Maybe it was the lock thing he thought he couldn’t handle.
I’m just saying, we’ve sold Luai but he still gets picked over Adam, that’s the part that I don’t get.
IMO Douehi is not a lock, and never will be, he knows that. Now I agree he’s handled it very poorly but surely there was a compromise somewhere, especially
given our current situation.
Like last week, don’t tell me Twals anger was just about Salmon, I think the slap was for all his half hearted teammates as well.

Have no idea mate, no one was there so we don't know if he reacted to not wanting to play lock or purely getting shafted from the halves.

If Twally's slap in anger was for some of the frustration for teammates, Adam would be high on the list.

You can't have lunatics running the asylum it needs to be nipped in the bud, line in the sand moment for Benji and Shaun.

Luai has spotted the problem with Doueihi's hogging and diagonal runs are stifling our attack AND Doueihi can't see it and is pissed off with the criticism. Doueihi's current form is crap.
Needs to have a deep self-assessment as to why and come to grips with it. Improve or look elsewhere.

Benji has ruined our chance to turn this club around. Luai has been begging to play with Latu for 2 years. Instead Benji partners him with Galvin and then Doueihi. 2 players who couldn't be worse for Luai style wise.

weststigers · Jul 23, 2026

Maybe he's pissed about playing lock because of the defensive load on his shoulder.

There's always 2 sides but better ways to handle it.

It would have been interesting to see and has worked before.

Shocking he'd ditch his team mates like that and leave us without a player when we are struggling for troops.

Showing once again he's not a team player, half or nothing it's just rubbish, couldn't care less if he's shafted, he was only filling in until the younger players are up to it anyway.

Even when Latu is fit he can't stay on the field.

I don't think he's ever finished a full match.
