OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

No of course I don't support AD's actions

But I hope he didn't find out on Thursday morning, like I have said a number of times, this deserves a deeper discusion between coach and halfback.
What if Javon was running all the time in training at half and looked good. Real good. So AD got off and Benji thought 'I have this idea of AD at 13. Javon deserves a chance and we can change things around? After all we need more attack.
 
I agree with what you said, but also look at Ethan strange for Canberra and Isiah for the dolphins both really young and going great. Not saying Andrews will go great but I think him and latu are the future halves

I hope you are right, although Ethan had Jamal with him for 2 years and now that Jamal is gone Raiders are struggling with two young inexperienced halves

Katoa has been playing with Nikorima and amongst them they have 317 games of combined experience
 
If this is true, two possible reasons are a conflict with Luai or he wants more money now Luai is going (and the club has not been forthcoming).
Isn't there like 7 rounds left?
Surely he could cop Luai a little longer.

Always feels like there's more to the story eh.
Money? Maybe. He isn't doing it tough , doing laps in his range rover.

As hes said for years, he thinks he's a half.
He just wants to be a half and stay there.
The talks of lock, backrow , etc. Offended him.
There's definitely some ego involved.

Other side is, why shouldn't he back himself.
If he knows. He knows.
If anything hes the one standing on business.
 
Watch the fanatics one with watmaugh


He sums it up perfectly

I’m not interested mate… you made the point about Kent ,,. You got a bad habit of believing every word these deadbeats say …they are literally making their living off clickbait …because they both got the sack from their proper jobs for being asswipes …
 
It's honestly a little concerning that Benji gave him the option to play 7 after he refused to play where he wanted him..
Wonder if Benji was a bit concerned over the impact on AD's mental health or whether Benji could foresee that card being used and the RLPA being brought in (especially if he is getting advice from Moses).

I recall the club was fronted by the RLPA last year over its handling of Tumeth & Matamua.

Nah mate.

I led with the fanatics TV podcast, which includes choc's take on what happened to Menzies at manly in the #13 and the captaincy being taken from him. He also talks about the role of a modern day #13 and why Douhei would be good there.

I used Kent as a 2nd source, he wasnt the point.
 
Id bet money has got alot to do with it. I remember when he was handling his own contract he wasnt shy about asking for plenty at the time - and then he got injured again and his form dropped off and so did his value.
I reckon it would be killing him seeing some of the money that is being offered especially with the start up clubs. It's now or never for him if he wants to cash in and no doubt someone is getting in his ear about his worth.

Everyone has got an opinion mate ,,
 
I.just watched it then and it reminded me of someone here mentioning Manase as a mentor a few weeks back...i ridiculed whoever it was...seems.they were parrotting the pod coach all.along.
I wonder how many others opinions are influenced in such a way...ive noticed a few.

I have certainly mentioned him being in a mentoring and community service role as part of any potential playing role at WT, and it was well before that podcast.
 
So did AD already know he was going to play at lock before he went to the judiciary?

Why would the Tigers go through the judiciary process, if they knew he wasn't going to play?

Well that is crazy, who paid for the judiciary appearance, did AD go without the Tigers consent?

Or did he say he was going to play and then changed his mind Thursday morning?
Paul Kent claiming there were whispers circulating Wednesday night Adam’s Thursday morning blow up was going to happen, that it had been planned.

Interesting if true
 
Hey Adam (I know you read the forum)- if you think your bigger than the club, pack your bags. You have a young kid under you (Latu) getting played in every position patiently waiting in the wings and doing what the coach asks of him not having a sook. Your influence on the younger kids in the club and your demeaner rubs off on others in the team. If ya want to have a sook go do it at the bears will ya. I would give my left nut to be in the position you are in. Team first.

Earlier today its reported he was pushing for a release

Now Riccio saying its all good...no release sought

But according to Kenty and Hoops …the whole thing was premeditated… he knew Benji was going to ask him to switch position beforehand , and he planned to use this as a way to force himself out of the club so he could make more money at Perth and PNG..

Edit - I don’t believe this to be the case…I think he blew up on the spur of the moment

This club is a shit show. Doesn’t matter what premeditated this latest fiasco. Simple thing the club should realise is that all their supporters have had enough of this bullshit.

So I say to Doueihi and all the other players at WT. They have a very soft underbelly. Being very well paid players, each and everyone of them as a player is paid to play and do that to the best of their ability and to play for their own pride and respect of everyone concerned. Their one job is to turn up and play each weekend unless injured, to earn their pay packet. Do they have any personal pride? Do they think they have the respect of their long suffering supporters?

Doueihi needs to pull his finger out and go cry somewhere else and anyone else that doesn’t put in on weekends can go with him and that is a high number of these so called first graders over these last 11 weeks.
They are an embarrassment ( besides only a few real triers).

We all have possibly had a boss that is not liked or worthy of the title they hold, and you don’t like the office dynamics. But you still have to work at acceptable standards irrespective otherwise you will be shown the door. Each player in our side should ask themselves if they have performed at acceptable standards over these last 11 weeks. If being honest with themselves, not many will agree they have.

Geez I feel sorry for API. Please give him a release so he can go and get out of this shitshow club and get some relief where his blood sweat and tears is supported and valued.

What I hear and read is that the coach and player supports needs a way to make sure the players are motivated. Your being paid good money and that should be the only bloody motivation they need. If they can’t get themselves motivated to play the game they supposedly love, go and get a real working job, and get a reality check.
