Big chance. Same reason he doesn’t tackle now.

Could it be that Adam knows his shoulder isn't great and playing at lock, would probably end his season much earlier due to an injury he may get during a tackle ?
not really . The lightning in a bottle went away , the rules shifted mid season , and he was no longer running at tired defences thus , actually using the other team mates became important .
The senior players in a 5 game losing squad dont own their positions and are delusional if they think that a coach will persist unconditionally when their job is dependent on a win loss ratio.
Losing is not accepted in successful clubs and if we are ever going to improve neither should it be at WTs.
Got some very comfortable players not use to being held accountable due to the limitations of the club.

Dennis, let's take the emotion out of this issue. The meeting between the club and Doueihi is a very good initiative. Hopefully the parties can reach agreement.
Either one mate - just leave me with one will ya 😜

First of all, I’m disappointed in AD for dogging his mates and the fans. These two groups are the victims here. You deal with stuff like this like a man. Not a coward running away.
Secondly, Benji has shown what a poor coach he is. My guess is he was convinced AD would be suspended, so was caught off guard when he was downgraded and rushed this decision in a half arsed manner. If AD didn’t care he would have just taken the ban, but he fought to be available and was rewarded with a kick in the balls.
Playing in the middle is hard as hell. If I wasn’t used to it, I would also feel shortchanged being told so close to game day.
So in summary, Benji stuffed this up but that’s no excuse for ADs reaction.
You conveniently ignore his last 4.or 5 weeks where hes been one of.our worst... might be why the coach wants to move him and try another angle in attack...as we.cant score points lately
If anyone will pay him full freight or close to, let him walk. Suspect that’s a stretch and unlikely with any guarantee of a halves position. He’s probably found that out.
Like what Watmough had to say about it
Would he turn down a NSW jersey, at #13 ?
AD has the potential to be a great 13.
Better than being an alright half.
Guess some players just want it more.
If you can’t tackle you shouldn’t take the field
Benji made a coaches call. He is the coach. Douehi dogged it, as you observed.
I’ve said it before it could prolong his career if he adjusts to it.
Do people actually watch Douehi ?
He won't pass the ball when he should and his best option is 9 times out of 10 to play for himself.
Great when it comes off has had some great individual efforts - can't deny - when the team has got some momentum but when backs are against the wall drops his bundle like a sack of potatoes.

Point taken but the whole team has been playing like busted assh???? Not just AD
And he signed for a further 4 years.

He was talking to Burgo at the HBG support group rally and Burgo told him everyone hates Bula and they want Burgo to coach them

Poor AD,
He isn't a Fletcher Sharpe that's exceptional at 1 or 6.... he's a capable 6 that's more suited to 13 but lacks the killer instinct to play in the forwards.
The old MCK dilemma.
Too small for backrow / Too slow for centre.
These options are unlikely to present themselves elsewhere. Likely to go from starter to bench player at another club, the more I think about it.
I'd like to remind everyone;
Schuuster is also saying he only wants to play in the halves.
