OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

he's not a half, he's not a lock, he's too slow for the centres or backrow, so what is he? definitely not a fullback.

he dogged it for Javon Andrews debut, that's not someone who cares about the club or his teammates.

If he's not one of any of those positions, why is he still our best player?

If Benji plays him, all the chat about team first all pre season and all year means nothing to the players from now on. He will lose the locker room.

Has already lost the locker room. No one is playing for him or themselves. Getting thrashed every week, not just getting beaten.

My guess is he was convinced AD would be suspended, so was caught off guard when he was downgraded

Why wouldn't he. Every single WT player that goes before the judiciary gets 3 weeks. It's like the NRL thought it best for WT to only lose by 40 this week so downgraded him, because their decisions are political, not merit based.

WT are downstream of NRL so get to drink whatever rubbish the NRL has thrown in it. A fish rots from the head.

I’m always amused at this narrative. It’s such a wild conspiracy to suggest that the governing body and owner of the franchise licences actively singles out and cheats one of its clubs - one with a robust fanbase mind you - out of being competitive every year. They want it to languish at the bottom of the table because presumably the drama created draws in millions of clicks online?

Nice shifting of the goalposts lol. You’re right, Benji was correct to stick with the career back-up and known defensive turnstile who had been part of three straight 40+ floggings and was a passenger in the one close win over a bottom 4 team (at the time) rather than go the young creative half with good defence and one of the most promising prospects in the NRL. /s

Some weird picks from Benji across his whole coaching career, we are not privy to the reasons. However for me not picking Latu to play 6 or 7 when AD and Luai were out at different stages is the one that stands out the most. Would love to hear why he did this.

I still think that is because if he picks Latu.in that position he has to believe that he can last for 80 minutes. You don't pick halves with the thought to replace them and Latu's injury history needs management.
Any coach needs to pick teams that he thinks can win their job depends on it - which limits opportunity to experiment - until now when season is done again but Latu is suspended.

Latu is 20 and has been plagued with injury

I think he has played 30 games in totals across 3 seasons.. thats 30 games from potentially 72 games.

I am positive there has been an effort to protect latu a bit. Whether benji has done this the right way, we can argue till the cows come home...

But it isnt because of lack of potential

It’s been poor strategy from Benji … three years later we still know little about Latu’s NRL potential …and they need to decide what to offer him now for his next contract
