Adam Doueihi #227

[GNR4LIFE]

Two weeks ago, sure, but he lost me a week and a half ago and I think that he has to go. I can put up with him playing a role for the few remaining games, though that's about it.

We’re cooked either way, but if he goes, we have nothing for 27. Yeah, I get what he did. And I guess in a vacuum, him leaving would be fine. We have nothing though. Our spine already looks terrible, and it will be even worse if he goes. I’m not trying to defend the guy, and cheering him on today felt as awkward as hell. When he scored, it was like watching your mother in law drive off a cliff in your new car. But if we run with Andrews/Latu in 27, the Bears don’t stand a chance for the spoon with us around.

Turuva would have needed to be 2 feet taller to be any chance of catching the ball,it was a terrible pass.

The one in the second half , turuva unmarked and it went behind him slightly

Turuva would have needed to be 2 feet taller to be any chance of catching the ball,it was a terrible pass.

The later pass was better, though still behind rather than out in front of Turuva, who was great today. Nor was the straight grubber with the line wide open out wide with Herbert there as well.

Adam scored a try and kicked the field goal, sure, but overall still doesn't bring as much to the team as even Madden at halfback for mine.

Conversely, we are already a bereft of points second last with Doueihi at halfback who refused to play when the coach wanted to do something different, so he needs a metaphorical seat in that car.

I would take the two youngsters, along with a rotation of Madden if no other player is signed, over Adam as part of our spine every day of the week.

I’m not going to begrudge anyone for wanting that. We’re staring at the wooden spoon though. Even if we manage to snare a half over summer, it’s only going to be Sean O’Sullivan or someone in that vein. No one who is going to move the needle significantly.

 

[lathami]

U have to play Andrew’s at 6 on the left and Doubie on the right, Luai has been below average since signing with the tax man!
He need ti be shifted to 14.
It’s a no brainer..

No don't be so pessimistic....it will be a massive upgrade like Tyrone May, Brodie Croft ,Lachlan Lam ,Aidan Sezer or Jackson Hastings
What could possibly go wrong

 

[rozelle_rudy]

He was our best player today by a mile. If that pass to turuva hits the mark we win. Let’s compare him to our $1.2m Luai and our amazing fullback earning almost a $1m

Three Doueihi passes to an unmarked winger went astray. He needs to be in the team but not at 7.

 

[Red88_Tiger]

History's precedent of Doueihi undermining the decision of an earlier coach not to play him as a half says otherwise, so there is no way that he gets any benefit of the doubt truth wise when his body language doesn't match either.

Do you really think that he wouldn't have played halfback against Canberra if he wasn't moved?

I have absolutely no idea. I don’t need to speculate and get bent and twisted about a situation that I have no inside knowledge of.
History can repeat itself but could just as likely not have

 

[Bigscreentv]

Passing game was poor. Kicking game was average.

Scored a good try he could have scored as a lock.

Kicked a field goal that he could have kicked from lock.

A heads up on1 of todays headlines .
Late Eels try denies Douehi's comeback as Tigers lose again

 

[stevied]

Seriously, before the end of the season, I would try Latu and Andrews at 6 and 7, Doueihi at 13 and Luai off the bench. Why the hell not?Maybe not against the Roosters though......

Starting from next week

 

[Canberratiger]

I really hope that Latu can play like an organising half back. We look like we are trying to play eyes up constantly and have no real direction otherwise

We need a good look at Latu HB. & to get as much ball to Samuela early as possible with players ready for the offload.Ala Kikau.

He’s our best weapon and was quiet yesterday. When it works we’ll know we can’t afford to lose them.

 

[NT_Tiger]

Am I imagining it or do we virtually always fail to run support for someone making a break? It often seems to me that players stand back admiring a line break instead of supporting it. Maybe it happens so rarely that they are surprised by it and dont think to react.

Being Terrell's Butler for a week?

 

[hank37w]

He’d be a great 13..,If he had a heart.

Don't peas count?

 

[hank37w]

I don’t pass often but when I do… I make sure it’s nearly uncatchable.

Laughing about it really pissed me off.

really pisses me off about Bula. If he's not going to be backing up everywhere, at least make sure you follow samuela and kpp
