Adam Doueihi #227

[Halbrowne61]

I wish AD had made the same effort for the past 3 years that he has made in the past 3 weeks!
Hes been offered $400k by WTs on a one year deal,after which he almost certainly will go to Perth on an extended term which given his fragile knees he shld be striving for after 3 acls and an uncertain long term
Its a very fair offer all things considered ,and if he gets a few sheckles more at Dragons next year good on him

I think in fairness he’s been injury prone e for past few years otherwise he would have been towards the top of our recruitment tree. It shows the type of guy he is who can fight back from such adversity. He’s a keeper imo.

AD should stop mucking around and take his 1 year deal from us. He can go to market again when the Bears come along and if he goes well he'll get a big deal for the prime of his career. In the meantime show some loyalty to your club, don't do the Aaron Woods, "Im a Balmain junior... but also Isaac Moses: bit.

AD os the perfect club man that can play almost anywhere.

Priority retention.

I think we should keep him for the right price. He has a unique skillset that looks like it might suit our team. Yes - he has his faults and previously has had a wretched run with injury but if he can lock down 13 and open up our attack while adding value through his goal kicking and general kicking and make his meters in the middle - he could be good value around 450k in my opinion.

Yeah gotcha 👍

Surely we do another deal with AD and I would hope he's interested in hanging around, as a junior and because the club stood by him for so many injuries. Club low-balled him recently but that's fair when the player himself had low stocks, and also respect to the player for getting his fitness and confidence back and making the contributions as requested by the coach.

I can respect, for example, that I think AD still considers himself a half or fullback but he's given 100% being picked in the centres almost every week, and Benji said when he shifted him to lock for the benefit of the team and fitting in Tiny, he didn't complain. Fair play all around, worth an improved but modest deal (2 years) for both parties to come out as winners.

Yeah gotcha 👍

Strange how the offers are (allegedly) coming in thick and fast, Panthers, Dragons.... step right up... step right up...
Can't help but think, his not my manager, haven't sign with him, just told him to feel free to look into things for me, Isaac Moses's stink is all over this....

Sounds to me like he'll be at Tigers. All these competing offers do is strengthen your bargaining position. In turn it bends your cap a little out of shape and helps rivals who are trying to resign their own players eg. gives us 50k less to offer to a younger player like Harrison Hasset

 

[Its me… hi]

This has shown what the role of a manager actually is, to feed journo’s their stories, true or not. No media for AD prior to linking with IM now he’s hot property..,the journo’s just happy to have content, IM probably writes the articles for them as well!

He just needs to stop mentioning IM, it’s probably already cost him upwards of $50k? LOL
Balancing the cap is a risky business when you have to pay someone upfront on what he will do during future seasons, while keeping an eye on the proportion given to each player commensurate with their value to team performance.
When Twaly wanted to test the market it was stated he was on $450k, he had no offers and accepted $350k according to media sources.
I still believe Doueihi’s value is closer to $450k. That’s provided he is happy playing 13. He did a lot of defensive work in the Titans game and can improve on that imo.

 

[tigahhh]

it’s a tough one but IMO i think we have to be smart about the amount we do offer doueihi as i don’t want it to be at the expense of taylan, i’d prefer the may’s get the bigger contracts to remain at the club

 

[Red88_Tiger]

It’s only fair for a player to test the market imo
Pole and twal are recent examples and they are still here

We are already getting "great" value for money out of him for 2025, slip him another 100k this year "bonus" for a job well done. Surely, that would put us in the box seat for 26then sign him for 350/400k for 2026 season "club option 2027" where his potential value is, as a starting 13..
