Adam Doueihi #227

Of course not but if he knows we are going to play him in reserves it at least get him thinking about other options.. Knight wanted him and apparently we said no so you at least have to try. I would have no problem contributing 300-400k to move him on TBH. We can just use the money we are spending on Mbye this year for next.
He has to go and blind Freddy can see it. It's best for him and the club.

Don't care what's good for him atm. Never, ever seen such a bad kicking game from a 2 year-old.

 

[hobbo1]

Exactly my thoughts. Why name him if your only going to play him once the game is over.

It was a sheenious bench

move douhie on a team might want him, no point having Hastings douhie Brooks and Madden
you don't move on Brooks or anyone until you know who is signing for 2024
you may well have hastings gone, douhie gone and you have moved on brooks

I understand that but thats the risk that's needed IMO..
What other successful club out there hold onto a halfback for like 8 years without making finals?? it is the most important position in the game and he is just not up to it a change might do him good.

My Perfect outcome would be to move Brooks on, AD 6 , Hastings 7 , Api 9, Laurie FB and Madden as backup or 14.

Laurie has been very average

 

[hobbo1]

Laurie has been very average

He went ok today as did Nofoalooza

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

madden is rubbish

 

[NT_Tiger]

I thought Doueihi did Ok today for his first run but he was on a hiding to nothing as far as results go.

if we are a chance in 2023 we will need Brooks Hastings and Douhie all on the field

I reckon the plan was always to play him for just 20 mins no matter the scenario .. probably progressively bump it up next week then start the week after .

It’s about managing his match fitness

You’ve gotta remember coming back from a reco and no footy for 9+ months

because some on here expect oh great one Adam to be the saviour

 

[hobbo1]

madden is rubbish

Better than Brooks on 1/4 of the pay .. if he don’t work out what’s $250k ? Compared to what the Ewok is bleeding us for .
Brooks is trash .. it’s over !

 

[Speed2burn]

With all his amazing ability he dragged us to 13th last year .. I don’t know when people will realise you need more than 1 player to pull their weight

 

[liltiger]

Came on too late …
Who knows what noddy was thinking ..
if he’s named play him ffs

See Ur point Hobbo but I can see why noddy wants to ease him back in, if he does another acl it could be his career. I agree though, if he's not 100 percent then he shouldn't be named.

 

[GarryOwen]

He had some good touches when he moved to right centre. Busted tackles, got some good yards after contact.
It's a shame there's no NSW Cup next weekend, as it would have been good to give him 40-60 mins at that level.

I’d pay more. It’s worth it.

 

[Cobarcats]

No he’s not. Let the guy get back on his feet before anointing him as a saviour

Yes he's good to go.
A saviour to what may I ask... that's a bit melodramatic isn't it.
There's no saving this side, he needs to get miles in those legs and do what he's getting paid to do, nothing more nothing less.

 

[BAGNF05]

I like this bloke but doesn’t have enough runs on the board to pick his own position. Hope Sheens told him in no uncertain terms that he’ll play where he’s picked. His manager has obviously gone to the press too so guessing he’s unhappy. Don’t blame him either, our halves are on a hiding to nothing.

Doueihi came to us to play FB. It was thought to be not his best spot, because we traded Moma for Laurie and moved Doueihi to 6. After watching him in a few games at 6, I formed the opinion that his best fit for the team would be at 3 or 4, or 13 if he improved his defence.
I love his attitude and rate his value to the team, but haven’t changed my mind. imo.
