OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

The one thing I just can’t compartmentalise in this breakdown of the Marshall/ Doueihi relationship issue is that coach Marshall hasn’t penalised Doueihi in some way? Could it be that Benji has accepted full responsibility for the communication breakdown by handing the 7 jersey back to Doueihi?
I think Benji has set a dangerous precedent, or hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson?

If people didn’t push boundaries you literally wouldn’t be here . Unless you’re 1000th generation pure born indigenous.
I find this holier than thou judgmental rhetoric to be so self serving .
A wise old man once told me me “ better to ask for forgiveness than permission” . I took that as take risks if you think they’re worth it . Do what you think is right no matter the cost . And if there is a cost , then own it .
It’s interesting the lessons people learn .

The wise man in my narrative was another farm hand like me, but a bit older with more life experience.

Dont say sorry unless you draw blood, then just run. It means this.
Actions speak louder than louder than words.
Take care with what you’re doing so no-one gets hurt by your actions.
Little, minor indiscretions or mistakes will be forgiven, no need to apologise.
If your actions cause hurt, no apology will cover it.

Ive had team members in the past with the 'better to ask for forgiveness than permission' attitude. In my workplace it was an attitude that could get people hurt or worse. They would F' it up then say sorry, again and again. I did my best to move them on. In our high performance sub teams, people with those attributes simply weren't admitted.

Better to think about your actions beforehand and not F'up in the first place. Douehi basically admitted he should have done this.

So, holier than thou, self serving, judgemental? Where's your mirror?

Interesting Benji mentioned they had Danny Abdullah in to speak to them on Tuesday about acceptance and forgiveness
This is the father of the kids that were killed on the street by a drunk and drug affected driver at Oatlands several years ago.
He and his wife have forgiven the driver.

Personally ive ever only truly hated one person in my life and they came into my life thru my own stuff ups...i see this now but at the time i didnt.
Forgiving...or more for myself letting go of grudges that made me toxic and held.me back i believe has seen me grow and understand i was at fault when i was hating that peron.

If you carry baggage it just weighs you down...this Doueihi thing is a grain of sand to me compared to what ive been thru, yeah i dont like it and its a.very bad look for the club ive supported for over 50 years but I can get past it...but thats just me.and im not here to say anyone here should feel.this way or that about it...

We don't truly know if he has been penalised, but that's the point.

One week in KOE and the world knows he's done at least something.

It is not the world that need to know about punishment though. It is AD and his team mates that need to know.

Why do our personal issues need to be addressed? Sure it would be great to see him playing cup at 13; but, is that what is best for the team/club this week against Parra?

What was best for the team last week when we still had granted an almost non existent chance but slim chance of making the semis...

Like I'm so glad AD is all on board no the season is officially over. The guy is a rubbish half back anyway that's been in terrible form.

All of a sudden everyone one is making out he is some kind of massiha that's the answer to all of our problems.

Would it not be better now the season is gone to give the kids some experience if they are the plan going forward.

I personally would have had him off the pine in the 13 rotation; but I don't have the clipboard. Based on the performance of.our cup team last week he is in the top 17 so he gets a jumper.

In my books he is an average half with a good running game at times. I expect that finishing strong is more important and blooding juniors will occur by drip feed.

It could also be that the cup team, that was rudderless against Canberra, need Andrews to keep their season alive more than FG.

Im sure there is a method to the madness. Benji isn't going to take time to explain it to us plebs though.

No he won't but it doesn't mean I have to agree with it ...

Maybe not the world, but as a supporter I want to know.

Right now my perception of the club is in the gutter.

And even though I am only 1 man, I'm still one of the people the club needs to watch or go to games, renew memberships, buy merchandise....

Public perception is extremely important to an NRL club - likely even moreso for the tigers compared to others.

Who knows how many people won't watch, won't make the effort to get to the game this week?

I'll watch, but my heart certainly won't be cheering for Doueihi.

In Adam’s words the 7/13 jersey had nothing to do with it
