Let us not let our judgement be clouded by hate when he specifically states so, and especially so at the same time as saying that others were dropped on form.

Could have done with him here this year and should have worked something out if that is the case.

Yeah, and your inreased depth with the stats pretty well backed up the opinion of my eyes. Doueihi has improved massively in defence this year, well at least when playing at centre, and particularly when outside of Luai. Trouble is he still really gets caught out in the decision making area...

The Madden signing seems to indicate Marshall is going to continue his want of Doueihi wearing the 13 in a distribution/ball playing role. As to Luai, overall, he has brought plenty to the club. Yet despite the obvious problems from pre-season with Galvin and coaches instructions, his $...

Though that he was called up at all, even just to extend the squad, screams of there being big issues amongst the coaching hierarchy.

I don't have an issue with any player having a coaching clause in their contract, as it is the most fundamental component relationship wise.

Unless the plan with Madden includes the possibility of him playing some game time in the 9, then I think we need another hooker other than Hope, before another middle.

Yeah, the player has to be as poor an individual as Moses to allow him to use such tactics. Galvin being the perfect example.

Plus Luai provided Penrith a great platform by leading them to second in the minor premiership last year, with Clearly only playing in 10 of those matches. I expected a bit more on game day from Jerome this year, though next season, that will again depend on how Benji decides to use our halves...

Defensively, sure, but a modern winger has to cope with taking the dirty hit ups and the pressure of kicks. Either is a task for an 18yo, so I hope that he is brought in slowly or given the rein to make mistakes if he forces the good enough/old enough factor from round 1.

Definitely.

Agreed, though the decision on where Doueihi in particular will be playing must have already been made. He will be either bulking up for strength at lock or concentrating on speed for half. I expect him to be wearing the 13.

Not having a go at you, but have read so many posts about Moses supposedly not receiving a percentage if either the club or Jahream take up these options. It is a bit like players salaries, of which generally none of us know anything more than unsubstantiated reports or make reasonable...

Hahahahaha, I see this just as my reply post about him deserving to become the first Kiwi immortal comes up.

Exactly. Basically a whole generation grew up idolising and wanting to play like Benji Marshall, who little doubt drew many players, particularly those brought up with Rugby Union amongst the Maori and Polynesian communities over to league. A player that missed many games early in his career...

Probably only a real problem if Terrell goes down for any length of time now that Bunty has joined.

Never really my cup of tea, but he was certainly a showman and KISS were big here when I was a teenager.

It is really hard sometimes Suzie, but you are a good person that helps others every day. Look back to the smiles that only came out in them because of you, and know that you are special.

Sullivan can play and that needs to be said, still, what a stupid signing that was. Mainly because it was based too much on one short performance against us, but 4 bloody years. Reminds me of Rua(?) who played a similar cameo in a trial game that fooled plenty on here at the time, and resulted...

Little pisses me off more than a pretend Christian. Aloiai was a prime example.
