Other coaches don't deal with sort of shit because the self entitled are weeded out, or are that good that they deal with the issues behind closed doors. You only have to look over the fence to Souths and see what happens when you let double standards into the system.

Kimmorley admitted that he wasn't strong enough as a coach at the time to sit AD out in reggies and that he was blackmailed into letting him get his way; this was a clear indicator of a player you want to be moving on.

I called it way back, the best postion for AD in the Wests Tigers was on another teams roster. I was shouted down as being an AD hater. This was untrue at the time and it is now. My stance then, and now, was based on his character not his footballing ability. He espoused leadership then and blackmailed the coach; now he has walked out on his team mates in the time of greatest need. This again goes to his character.

He is contracted to us and needs very clear guidance on what he needs to do to get himself back into FG. If he is as good as he thinks he is he can make potentially ge tover this. If I was responsible for the roster though he would be free to leave with the clubs blessing if he gets an offer (no freight).

He isn't on that much coin so would be great as a backup in Ressies for depth where he can be managing within the contractual arrangements unteil he next breaches when we can kick him to the curb for breach of contract and keep the $ in the cap.

I think the point is that we seem to have a lot of them.

Are we hiring people of weak character, turning them into one or is it more a case of beggars can't be choosers?

What changes do we need to make so this doesn't happen again? What can Benji learn from this? What can the Club learn from this?

It's fine to keep blaming individuals when they leave or are about to leave, but that's useless. You still need to do an internal review to understand what we could have done better.

Yeah just watched Noddy on Sen talking about his experience with AD.....it does explain a few things about team selections, this year in particular.

Surely the rest of the players knew about this behaviour? It can't do team harmony much good.

This is pretty much backed up by comments made by Adel Hage who would have been here and around the playing group for 4 or 5 years.

Some people were shocked when he stated that he would let Adam Doueihi go because of his poor attitude.

It goes back to before Benji though. The writing was on the wall under Sheens. @pawsandclaws1 may know about his junior history but character is not norally something that changes. It certainly can be done; but AD has been exhibiting this false leadership/poor character trait for a while.

This really is one of those things that the club needs to do a deep dive on over the off season so they can learn from it. However, one lesson is pretty clear even from outside of the four walls: it should have been dealt with by Kimmorley and Sheens when it first raised its ugly head. Those that were calling for him to go then were on the $.

I think other coaches also don’t deal with it because they’re not out there trying to put gooseys on everyone and calling them all Cuzzy, Bro or ELo
 
I see two very distinct sides to this and i will say in no way shape or form should Doueihi spit the dummy and walk. Having said that he looks as though he's playing busted as it is with his shoulder moving him to lock is just silly imo with the extra defensive work load.
If they shuffled him to centre i wouldnt have any issue whatsoever player can have the shits ect but coach picks the team. I can get why they've done it if it wasn't for Latu being suspended im guessing he would have been in the halves, our season is shot can't blame Benji for having a look at the young halves in advance.
I dont know if i see a way back from this for Adam tbh you can't be doing that no matter the circumstances and perhaps Benji if he was thinking of this switch should have advised AD not to fight the charges and risk further suspension just my 2 cents.
