Adam Doueihi #227

[Harvey]

Is he the next Curtis Sironen?

 

[Demps]

Fair enough he might not have a position, but unlike Mbye whose in the same boat, AD is one of our only shining lights. He’s a hell of a footballer

I reckon giving Brooks the captaincy tonight did his head in..same as it did mine..and Brooks made us both right

If Doueihi is so mentally fragile that naming Brooks captain puts him off his game, he is not half the player that his fans think he is.

I mentioned it in the other thread but Madges coaching is very perplexing...

AD is captain material... a lot of people have mentioned this on the forum. He's a future captain for sure, a lot of leadership qualities. Our captain Tamou goes down and instead of doing the logical thing and naming AD.... he goes Brooks... a guy who's been playing well but appears to not have a voice on the field or be a captain.

One occasion when Stefano knocked it on, I saw Moses Mbye talking to the ref, going through the motions in regards to the captains challenge... where was Brooks?

This is another massive mistake and mishap by Madge.

Just like after losses we want accountability and instead of dropping players that deserve to be dropped..... such as... Talau , Mbye, Nofo, Jimmy Jet / Tamou, etc etc etc... he drops some one like Seyfarth or Cini.... undeserving. This is extremely poor form in my opinion and sets an extremely bad example.

There is no egg shells. Either the players have scared Madge into what may happen if he does his job or he likes them too much to upset them. Either way, it all is VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.

AD did have an off game tonight... it didn't register with me at first this may be because he wasn't made captain... that does make sense... I hope he is tougher than that.

Do you realize what you just said??
What a great captain he would be if that happened.
If that is why he played terrible it actually justifies Madge not picking him would show immaturity & hardly a model for the other young guns to be modeled off.

He is a good player but he showed tonight regardless of his downer reasons he has work to do if he wants to be captain.

Had an off game, no doubt....

Not sure if that's because:

A. He was upset about being overlooked for the captaincy.
B. It was just one of those nights.

Do you go to work and try your best after you've been overlooked and don't feel appreciated?

I'm not disagreeing with you at all and I hope Adam isn't sooking about this but...

**This was Madges chance to make a statement. Unlike he has shown all year. He should've backed the youth and made a concious choice with the future in mind. Massive mistake not utilising this situation to make AD captain. One small thing overlooked that could have changed everything.** **

It wasn’t a massive mistake in over looking AD as captain. AD didn’t step up at all yesterday.
Is what it is, I know you love him. I think he is good as well but don’t fog the glasses. Reality is if he was Captain he would be copping a bigger bagging than he already is for what was dished out. He doesn’t speak up at all with the squad & has massive defensive issues. Putting the C on him wouldn’t be smart until he sorts his game out 1st & actually cements a position. Once that happens cool. Until then he is a long way to go for him to be captain material.

 

[sleeve]

AD is not fast enough , or skillfull enough to play in the halves. The centres might work, but i think long term , another utility player.

 

[sleeve]

I would have given Madden a chance next to Brooks. Given time i think he would complement the side, with his short kicking game, and elusive running style. His defence might be tested, but he won't be worse then the others that have played there. Plus he will pass the ball more often, and not just stand like a startled Roo in the headlights. AD to centre , Mbye to fullback appear our only options now.

 

[brian]

Doueghi is like John west salmon.
It's the players South's rejects that makes South's the best.
He's still our best

**Love of Lebanon helps Doueihi earn Ken Stephen Medal nomination**
Troy Whittaker
https://www.weststigers.com.au/news/2021/07/31/love-of-lebanon-helps-doueihi-earn-ken-stephen-medal-nomination/

A proud Lebanese player, Adam Doueihi wanted to help in any way he could when an explosion in Beirut killed more than 200 people and injured thousands in August 2020.

The five-eighth's pain and compassion were on show as he broke down following a match in the days after the tragedy.

Along with fellow Lebanon Test representative Alex Twal, Doueihi drove his club's support of the Red Cross Beirut Appeal, passionately raising funds and awareness to assist with massive relief efforts.

"When that exploded and there was the disaster towards the end of last year, it was something that hit me pretty hard," he said.

"I was trying to do something ASAP. Thanks to the club and the people in the organisation, I was able to raise some needs that we could send over in containers and just give back to them ... It was just a small thing that I knew was going to be big for our hometown."

Doueihi is generous with his time and uses his position to uplift and inspire. He was a key advocate for the Tigers' Unite Harmony program, encouraging social cohesion among high school students.

In addition to his impact at schools, the 22-year-old has engaged in hospital visits, appeared in several club video pieces to promote grassroots rugby league and education and created content to boost families' spirits during the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I just remember when I was a kid and whenever a big footy player or someone would come and find time to talk to me or throw the footy with me how it much it meant to me," Doueihi said.

"Any chance I get to go back to schools or spend time with the youth, I know how much they enjoy it. It makes me feel thankful for where I am and hopefully shines a light for another kid to come through.

"Kids these days love footy [players]… They know all their players and you can see when you do walk into the room, they really do listen. Whatever you say, they take in and think it's right.

"So we make sure we spread the right word and tell them little tips about how to behave and what to do outside of school."

If Doueihi was to win the fan vote - which will decide one of four Ken Stephen Medal finalists and closes on August 8 - he would earn a $3500 cash prize for his first junior club, the Strathfield Raiders.

"To spend $3500 at my junior club would be a massive deal for me and the club," he said, with his fondest memories playing for Strathfield being winning premierships in the under 8s, 9s and 10s.

"I was there in their maiden year as a junior club, so it's a special part of me. I'm a local boy ... so I used to always get down and try to watch their games as much as possible.

"I'm very appreciative and thankful that I've been nominated from my club. I'm sure there are many more players from different clubs that have been doing similar things.

"To get nominated for the finalists would mean the world to me."

 

[Needaname]

Is he coachable? God, I hope so.

I dare say he's one of the hardest workers at the club, always wanting to learn and develop his game. That's the difference between him and some other guys, he has his issues but he works his ass off to get better and he genuinely cares about this club.

I don't see that. I watch him off the ball as much as with the ball and I think he's lazy and lacking urgency for much of the game.

Unfortunately that’s a trait most of our players have. They walk whenever the play is out of their range. I didn’t see one of those bit part Warriors stop jogging to a spot all night in that game.
Maybe they psychologically conserved physical energy through the match due to the loss of Lauri early. I believe **in game** injuries have a huge bearing on inexperienced rosters. We overcame the Broncos with a fit roster as they lost their second rower just minutes in. Despite the ability of guys like Hass being able to play long minutes and in our case Twal who played all 80 we don’t have the next man up mentally that the more experienced rosters have and would have prepared for. At this stage most are focused on just doing their job not someone else’s.

In the pre match interview I thought AD was very happy Brooks was made captain. Seemed genuinely pleased for him.

Think we have far too many "deep thinkers" on here.

Seriously, if he played poorly because he was sulking about not being captain then he should never be captain of the club.

I think the person who originally put the idea out there was sulking.

Yeah chances are he wasn't and it was an off night...

Still think it was the wrong decision going Brooks over AD. Who knows, if he went the other way AD mightve had a better night.

 

[Geo]

Doueihi doesn't appear to be a sulker to me..

 

[cochise]

Doueihi doesn't appear to be a sulker to me..

I agree mate, I just think he had an off night.

 

[tig_prmz]

Is Douehi even in the leadership group? Brooks is VC and will always be captain over AD for the next year or so as long as he's here.

AD had an off night, although he was one of our better players alongside Stefano. No.6 is his position. He needs to do a lot of video reviews of guys like Fittler, Walker, Foran etc. Look how they dig in to the line and take the shot before spreading it. He's not a smart 5/8 yet, hopefully he becomes one.

As for defence. People don't realise defence and attack is actually quite related. If you're attack is struggling, you will struggle with your defence mentally as well and vice versa. An example of that is our 2011 form. We were one of the better defensive teams that season because we scored a lot of early points.

 

[Tiger Woods]

Doughi plays great every 2nd week 😂

 

[balmain boy]

He's doing ok in attack, like any young playmaker who's been shuffled between positions throughout his career, he's got to learn when to run, when to pass and when to kick. He's only played a dozen games in the halves so is a very young playmaker.

His defence definitely needs work. His positioning needs to get much better

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

A big happy bday to my fave lebo 23 today


 

[GNR4LIFE]

Doughi plays great every 2nd week 😂

Still better than the rest of the squad. Some never play great.
