Maybe AD and BM know Bula leaving and he may return to Full back next season.
Only guessing though?
Doueihi extends stay with Tigers until 2029

The Wests Tigers are thrilled to confirm that Adam Doueihi has extended his contract with the Club through to the end of 2029 NRL season.
Doueihi – who signed a two-year deal in August 2025 – extends his stay at Concord for a further two years, which will see the 27-year-old amass a decade of service to his boyhood club by the end of his contract.
The Lebanese international has a strong connection to the Wests Tigers, having played his junior footy for the Balmain Tigers.
Doueihi has played in a variety of backline positions throughout his career, most recently settling into halfback ahead of the 2026 season, building important combinations across the spine throughout pre-season.
In 2025, the Balmain junior was influential in several key moments for the Tigers across a variety of positions, no more so than when he assumed the role of halfback towards the end of the regular season.
The announcement of Doueihi’s extension comes on the eve of the Tigers first game of the 2026 campaign, as they host the Cowboys at Leichhardt Oval.
“I’m really excited to be locked in with the Tigers for the next four seasons. It’s a special place for me and my family. There’s nowhere else I’d rather be,” Doueihi said.
“I’m loving playing alongside Romey in the halves and working with Benji. We’re in a great position as a group to continue growing and improving.
“I’m grateful to Benji and the Club for the faith they’ve shown in me over the last few years, I’m looking forward to repaying that on the field.”
Marshall welcomed the confirmation of Doueihi’s extension.
“Really happy for the Club that we get to extend Adam until the end of 2029,” Marshall said.
“It’s a credit to Adam’s character and work ethic to bounce back from injuries and put himself in a position to sign an extension with us.
“We're so pleased to have Adam and his amazing family stay on with us.”

I’m worried Latu may be another Toa.
Even his Mum said he was injury prone.
But I hope he fully recovers and delivers.
Great to have competition for key positions.

I wonder if say for instance he has a 4th ACL and that's the end of his playing career, will insurance cover him or will it be on our cap considering he has that previous injury history.
Any experts in this area out there.
Incidentally I wish him the best and hope it doesn't happen even though I have been critical of a couple of his contract extensions in the past, I currently have nothing but admiration for his resilience and determination.
Where is that written??
Doubie stated previously that if he signed a contract with another team that he would move over to Moses. Considering he didn’t he shouldn’t have signed over. He was managing himself.

Yeah, in an interview he said he used moses for advisory, but still acted on his own behalf.

Gold! Brilliant investment, we helped him through three ACLs and he's stayed loyal and will help us to win another premiership.

That's the sour patch I use to laugh my ass off when the guy hit the board and falls and then the sour patch comes out from behind the bush holding a band-aid
Hay we have AD but lost Bula

I wouldn't have made the decision to add another couple of seasons to the recent 2 year extension until much later in year, but it's done, so I hope that we get a lot more than the 50% odd availability for selection at WT over previous years.

I think Latu has his work cut out for him if hes any chance of replacing AD at 7.. atleast in the next 2 years.. Latu doesnt lead the team around the park the way Douhei does. Maybe its just his age and lack of confidence to tell older more mature players what to do ..

Think Latu needs to worry about stringing together 6 months of football. If he can he could be anything, ceiling is significantly higher than Doueihi

Latu will be the starting 7 next year if he can play 15 games this year
