OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

I'm just trying to think whose Douehis 2 friends are - certainly wouldn't be the edge players outside him saying he needs to play half. Also Douehi doesn't come across as being part of the bro clan. So i'm guessing its Bula and Seyfarth. This sought of crap coming out with quotes without names attached smacks from straight out of the Isaac Moses playbook.

It was hinted at last night on here somewhere its Seyfarth and Twal...this is where the mole got it from im safely assuming

Our captain has made a decision to leave. I have no issue with that but the announcement should have occurred at the conclusion of the season. It has impacted team performance.

I am pleased the club is introducing Andrews and congratulate him on his selection. Luai should be the player imo to move aside, perhaps to the bench, to accommodate him. He is not going to be at WTs next year so it is a good chance to see how a new combination works.

Doueihi is one of our best and a local junior. He wears his heart on his sleeve, just like a few other of our past and present players. No NRL player is a sook, and while I don't agree with his action, I understand where it comes from. I hope he plays.

Its been dealt with...you just disagree with the decision...so dont go saying the "biggest issue has not been dealt with"

So we should have been seeing plenty of tries on Luai’s left side of the field, but for 4 straight games we have seen nothing.
Do we know why a couple of games back, Api was nearly always passing the ball to Doueihi and almost ignoring Luai?
I don’t think coaching instructions would have been to exclusively get the ball to Doueihii?

I won't change your opinion on a footballing forum but I will add Doueihi imo offers alot more to the team as a centre than Herbert. He's one of the quickest in our team over 100m, as well as bringing height and size to the backline.

Thats nice...but you are ignoring the main point which is AD walking out at training...saying hes not.playing in a.must win game and totally stuffing up a young rookies debut.
Deflecting

Why have you ignored my post where I quoted all your calls to play javon and latu?

Where was douhei going to play when you got your wish?

You got your wish now you are crying

Regardless of what transpired today, in this modern time when an employee asks for time off - management has no other response but to grant it. The most troubling issue is how the whole story with official quotes and specific details was so neatly presented for the leeg world to digest and pick apart and mock. So very disappointing, from all angles.

Just bloody typical of today's piss weak lot, I have no doubts whatsoever, he wants to work from home.

What did you hear?

I’ve already told you, that the playing group as a whole was not very well connected.
It could be normal and it might be the case at every NRL club, but certainly not as close as Benji has at times tried to claim.
And I’m talking before quite a few players re-signed with us, so quite obviously a bit of hope and winning games helps make it a non issue.
Losing plenty of games is where a good coach needs to be a great people manager to identify any division or player angst and find ways to minimise the issues.
I’d say this is Benji’s weakness.

"the playing group as a whole was not very well connected".... what exactly did you actually hear to make you believe this?

They seemed pretty connected the first 7 rounds when we were coming 3rd.

Winning cures everything tbh. These issues did come up with the whole Galvin/Da Silva saga last year too. It probably got patched up a bit over the offseason and a good start to the year, but then with Luai's announcement and our results starting to suffer for various reasons, these things can come back to the surface.

As I already stated, winning certainly helps patch over any cracks.
Losing brings any issues to the surface.
A part of coaching is to identify when this type of thing happens and not let any anger boil over.

No offence, but BFD. This club are perennial March/April premiers. The form at the start of the season was nothing out of the ordinary. Neither is the way the end of the season is turning out. And people will use Luai and now AD as excuses. When in reality, when was the last time this side ever finished a season by not limping over the finish line?

Didn’t we start 2025 out of the blocks on fire aswell?

You keep telling me what youve stated before

but you still havent stated exactly what you heard to form your opinion
 
I think with everything that has played out at the club over the last 24 months I am thinking Benji has a man management problem, he has an ego which is what made him such a great player but I feel his ego may be what makes him not a great coach
