OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

If True, Benji right or wrong is the coach, AD”s job is to play where he is needed Our attack has been piss poor since his return, line breaks non existent, As much as I have appreciated what AD has done in certain games, you don’t as a professional athlete but heads with your coach.

Bye bye AD from me.
 
This is what happens at a club when the players think they are doing you a favor by being there.

AD is a good ball runner if he wants to own a key position he needs to be more than that at any club. Playing where the coach tells you is a given - been pandered to for too long given his reaction

IMO Doueihi offers more than Herbert in the centres.

My call was for AD to the centres as well; however, I can see the reasoning at to why the coaching staffmade the the call. Watching his last four games he has really struggled in defence. It could be his shoulder, it could be attitude, but if he is struggling to defend at 7 how is he going to do so at centre? The big issues he is struggling with at 7 in defence, decision making and his lateral movement, can be somewhat mitigated if he is defendingin the middle corridor. Whereas, they would potentially be exascerbated further out on an edge.

I called for him to be on the edge to strengthen our attack and push Taruva to his muchpreferred wing position. The coaching team are probaby more concerned about the ability to get ball to the edges in good to give the edges opportunities. Luai has runs on the board with Sam F and Herbert. The right edge has been stifled by our man AD. Not just this last four weeks. Even when we were on the winning streak and teams had not worked out how to defend AD at 7/6. Our point of attack has beome so predictable that defending against us has become very simple as the defenders only have to really focus on one player.

Even if you have not seen Javon play, the discussion on this forum and the KoE highlights, clearly show that he has eecellent pass selection. His stats, leading T/A in cup, back up the eye test. So we are potentially better balanced. How we handle the kicking duties and getting us around the park is a different story. However, if AD was to be starting off the pine I expect the simple game plan would be to get in the grind early and try to open them up with threats on both sides of the ruck and then bring AD on in place ot Twal to braeak the game open by changingthe point of attack and using his running game as a point fo differentialtion as opposed to a point of failure, as it has been over the last four weeks).

We (the forum as a whole) complain that the coaching staff have no idea; yet when they do make a bold move we shit can it before we have even seen it in operation. How bloody fickle we are.

The one I feel for in all of this is Javon. I hope he absolutely brains it, because his hard work in cup has got him to his debut. With AD tearing his party dress into tiny pieces, we don't have much of an option off the pine if he is stuggling.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I belleve Doueihi may be playing injured. Wasn't it his shoulder?

Until his dummy spit i would agree with you but after his petulant behaviour he deserves to be picking splinters out of his backside on the bench in reggies,unless of course he apologies to Benji privately and then apologises to the entire squad about his dreadful behaviour.I am not a huge fan of Benji as a coach but he is the coach and demands a certain respect and if you want to play first grade you do what he says.Even the 3 worst coaches the Tigers have ever had (Jason Taylor,Terry Lamb and Alan Jones) deserved the respect of the players.

Doueihi wears his heart on his sleeve. I've no doubt Marshall and the CEO are aware of this and giving him a week out is a good circuit breaker. The club needs to deal with the real issue and "bro" does not cut it anymore.

Interesting isn't it, the club relies on circling the wagons with a fortress mentality; the team pulling together as a cohesive unit to make up for our lack of depth and top talent across the park. The players responded in the early to mid-rounds and then it all came apart. We need Doueihi to at least be competitive against the Raiders.

The point I responded to was that you believed he should have been playing centre in front of Herbert instead of starting off the pine and into the 13 rotation with Twally. What has him playing injured have to do with the statement? I covered the why they may have chosen not to put him into centre in my reply.

However, yes, 100% he is carrying an injury. He would be carrying it regardless if he was at centre, where you wanted him selected in place of Herbert, or off the pine playing at lock where, in the opinion fo the coaching staff, he has more influence on our attack and allows Twal to reinforce the prop rotation.

The player, the performace staff and the coaching staff all believe he was fit enough to play. So the shoulder is irrelevant to the discussion of what postion the coaching staff think is in the best interests of the team.

None of us armchair coaches have the clipboard or the inside knowledge to make decisions; but in the minds of those with the knowledge AD off the pine into the 13 rotation was the best option for the team. We can only judge the quality of that call after the game has been played - unfortunately now we don't have that hindsight opportunity to big note ourselves post game.

If what mole says is true ……

This is the shit I have been concerned about with having the may and fainu bros. Not saying this has to do anything with them , it’s this clique culture. Piss one of the bros or someone in the clieque you have divided team or players dictating

Mole is the least credible journo, I’m pretty sure he’s admitted he creates headlines from reading Facebook posts / stuff on here
 
I can't see a way back unless Adam comes out and mentions its purely his competitive nature and won't do it again. If he does that, then benji can probably pick him in half next week. But benji can't do that without that public acknowledgement from Adam now - otherwise it looks like he caved

A week off was a poor, poor option.

A forum member last night stated that Doueihi had done more than enough to hold his position in the team. I cannot disagree with this and while I support Marshall as coach, I do find his selection at 13 puzzling especially with what I consider to be the added defensive workload and carrying a shoulder injury.

If the story is true that Isaac is already acting for him , he will already have his next club already lined up
