OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

[Demps]

Question is this ...Douehi doesn't want to be a centre

Are people worried he might want to leave at contracts end if we play him at 3/4 continually ??

I remember in the world cup, he played 2RF, half, centre...

The guy can do it all.

With Hastings coming next year, our team looks like a shake up.

Braith the gronk said Doueihi wants to play 6.

I said awhile ago he was better than Jack wighton he was only in SOO due to being in a good team

AD is the heart of the Tigers now IMO.

Our centres and Luc got a lot more ball tonight. Such a far better organised team in attack getting strike players clearly involved.

Be interesting to see if it would make a difference to Roberts game.

I'm sure it would. But where would you play him? In place of Talau if he returns soon?

Probably, Talau made some bad errors tonight, flicking the ball inside was horrendous.

They can't risk Talau in the next game, he looks terrible under the high ball, and is slow. He will get bombed to pieces.

Not sure what game you saw but I didn’t think he looked uncomfortable at all, the flick pass into our goal line was more to do with him thinking he was about to go out, mistake yes but he will learn. I think he may have dropped one more later in the game. But he’s never looked bad under the high ball.

Thought Talau was solid other than a couple of glitches, a nice finish for a try, a well executed try assist and took a pressure bomb early. I’d leave him there.

Wests Tigers centre Adam Doueihi said he felt comfortable with his positional switch this from five-eighth to centre and was happy with the result that it helped deliver for his side at Magic Round.

A team player and future captain.

Doueihi is a footballer he'll play wherever the coach wants he plays well at 5/8 but sometimes runs the ball instead of letting go at centre when given clean ball he is dangerous.

If I were him I'd be more worried about getting flogged every week and doing nothing about it. I think he and the team knows somethng needed to change and those changes seemingly have benefited the team - only time will tell if it was a one-off 🙂

 

[JC99]

Doueihi won't mind playing centre as long as we are winning and he's playing well I reckon. He's got a few years left on his contract either way - Mbye won't be around much longer anyway I'm sure.

X2

It’s a temporary thing, but with the way we are now, I think we leave him at centre

Future origin centre.

Future origin centre.

How long did it take them to pick Farah?
And once picked, played a man of the series performance.

Freddy and them ain't that smart to pick Adam over their little gronky favs- Wighton, Criton and such.

Doueihi is a much better option that Wighton, Wighton has been useless this year

Of course.
They lack logic though...
And I don't wanna say they're racist... but

Peter Wallace, Ennis, etc. Over farah for years.

Farah played perfect and Greg Bird for man of the match...

Idk.

He isn’t ready for origin, his defense is terrible & the speed of the game will eat him alive.
Give him the rest of this season and half of next season at center to work on that area of the game.

Ball in hand and direct running he would be awesome he just needs time to settle into the position and defending his man/inside runners.

 

[Tigerwould]

Have we revealed our true centre of excellence?

Great player. Doueihi naturally wants to run first then pass.
It helped the team move the play around to the edges in attack and gave Doueihi more space. He still saw lots of ball and could do more with it.

We were the team spreading the ball and the opposition looked to be struggling to keep up. Rather than vice visa. Joey L looked gassed at the end of the game but the rest of the team enjoyed the pace. Liddle, Brooks, Mbye, Laurie is a fast spine. Maybe Roberts on the wing when he comes back.

 

[Tigerwould]

AD is the heart of the Tigers now IMO.

Yep. He is captain material.
Could be a better version of Jarrod Croker.
Captain, Goalkicker, Centre.
Plus Backup 5/8, back rower, fullback.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Thought Doueihi was the answer at 6 for WT and encouraged his selection there, though in a few short weeks it seemed obvious that even though he was playing well as an individual, his style did not similarly benefit the team as a whole, particularly so in nullifying the contribution of a centre alongside.

Adam also had defensive issues there that were contributing to the large scorelines against us. He may well improve his skills to balance his game to demand a return to the halves and I remain hopeful that he will.

Whilst some of my questions on Maguire remain, I applaud him for making the decision to move Doueihi wider to improve the team as a whole, even if for mine clearly a few weeks later than it should have been. Similar thoughts on his changes due to the inconsistent form of middle players, which has been a big problem.

 

[JC99]

Doueihi will go back to 5/8 I reckon by next year, if he doesn't we will need to sign a 5/8 to replace him because Mbye will surely be gone.

Wondering where Hastings fits into all of this?
