Not being able to see anyone for days could explain why AD does not pass the ball on the field because if he can't see anyone else he has to die with the ball himself.
OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227
- Thread starter TIGER
- Start date
At that point the bloke was suspended

Isaac didnt get a bite from perth so they had to go i to damage control...
Benji should be playing him at 13 no exceptions

Not sure what you mean, sorry?
I was referring to players, your halfback finding how he's been dropped, surely you'd give him a 'heads up' and not by reading the team sheet or days later. IF true (which I hope not)

He was also suspended up until Wednesday night . Seems to be an important piece they’re forgetting. It’s all bs

Benji looks piss weak infront of the whole playing group, Anything goes now with zero consequences....The demands from the playing group will come thick and fast....
Benji is a lame duck now with zero authority who won't be head coach this time next year ......

I believe they trained last tuesday...i always thought the playing team for the week.ahead was.made known to the squad on the Tues after training.
It was announced at 4pm to the public...Douehi in 22
Douehi has the judiciary on tuesday night...he attends with Pat Richards and SM.
Hes quoted after as saying
I love being out there with the boys,” Doueihi said after the hearing...all good
Wednesday hes on radio on SEN with Vossy...everythings cool no mention of team selections..this is Wednesday Midday...all.good
Thursday the crap hits the fan.
Now saying hes frustrated it took several days to contact Benji.
I dunno

If Benji knew he wasn't going to play AD, surely he should have been told early in the week? Maybe he was?
I get the impression he'd rather do that than let Luai have it.

Okay but still, if Benji knew he wasn't going to play AD, surely he should have been told and spoken to about the non selection early in the week?
There were many changes to the team that played the dogs.
Toa...Skelton...i wonder when they knew theyd been dropped altogether
I believe the whole squad are together after training when he announces the team on Tues before it goes public

Okay then, thats cool but I'm simply referring to the SMH article that said he wasn't aware, its hard to believe he wasn't but thats what it says.

Latu must seriously be cursed or something...has the absolute worst timing when it comes to Injuries and this suspension.
Seems to me that many in the squad at the moment wish they were contracted elsewhere so that their prospects of winning and playing finals were greater
Nobody likes losing week after week
The Wests Tigers are such a shambles now that I doubt many NRL panel experts would predict anymore wins this year
Those considered our better players eg Samuela would seriously consider other pastures if possible
Of course If Isaac Moses can involve himself he might pursue such matters
Wests Tigers fell from 2nd to 16th in 3 months
Therefore could be described as " a sinking ship "
What do those on board such a ship do . Abandon ? Jump ?
Just some thoughts .
I hope the Douehi Benji thing is totally patched up
I hope we run on to Comm bank this week end and give Parra a good hiding
Can be done if everyone finds pride ,motivation and play their heart out
This would throw egg over the faces of the journos and foxtel panel
Please let this not be a pipe dream !!!!!

SMH has been reporting the AD camp’s narrative since it dropped. Sensationalism to get clicks.
Hopefully AD is in reserve grade this week for creating the whole debacle.

The "couldn't get a hold of Benji" rubbish - i don't buy it. To be fair Benji did have the flu last week - could be influenza - I had it and couldn't work for a week. Benji still fronted up to presser last week, sick as a dog.
IMO - Doueihi is upset because Benji doesn't see him as the long-term half. Nothing says I don't want you there more than picking an underperforming player who won't be here in 6 weeks over him.
I liked Doueihi but he's lost me the way he's handled this. I've also watched him closely over the past month or so, and I'd come to the conclusion a few weeks ago that he isn't the long-term halves solution. He's run first always, and his passing and hands aren't good enough to play a flatter attack. His short kicking game is average. This is exactly why he'd be better at lock.
Doueihi tries hard - great...we need more than that in a half.
Most good judges in the media think he'd be a great lock. I've said it for years on this forum but have been shot down saying he couldn't handle the workload. What I know is that he's a mediocre NRL half. Our progression would be restricted with him there.
I also think he won't be at the club next year given that he/his camp have clearly leaked information to the media to paint the club in a bad light. Benji and Shaun have handled this situation excellently, and they just need to move forward and get rid of these selfish players that have delusional ideas of themselves...let alone ones that are managed by Isaac Moses.
To top it off, the media click-baiting grubs. Not one of them has said "Does Benji want Doueihi in the halves long-term?" Instead, they've made out this was a rookie error coaching decision.
One small mistake I think Benji made - maybe he should have waited for the offseason for the transition, but at the same time there's an opportunity to give Javon minutes now, so why not take it.

Anyone know if a dossier was presented to Shaun M by Isaac this morning?

Everyone should stop accepting what the media is saying, it’s driven by Moses and to date been wrong
Players approached Benji disgruntled because AD had left
Players simply asked Benji what had happened
AD not returning to the tigers
AD back at training tomorrow
AD couldn’t contact Benji for ‘several’ days
Training Tuesday, knew Wednesday, spat the dummy Thursday.
AD not loved because Benji didn’t attended the judiciary
AD had the CEO, football manager at the hearing and the best QC to represent him
The only person who has disrespected anyone/team is Adam Douhie and if it was me I wouldn’t be selecting him again this year.
