OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

[GNR4LIFE]

Some have built 5 year in hyping up Jacob Liddle, in WT case we have Simpkin if he does not live up to the hype.
In the case of AD and Brooks we do not have a ready made replacement they either succeed or we are screwed

This is about AD, not Liddle. Give it a rest.

Adam will turn out to be our long term 6 as he has the skills to kill it..
Great cut out passer, Kicks wicked Bombs, Kick goals, Reads the game well and has a great attitude and wants to succeed.. Didn't get picked in the Leadership group for nothing.
He will make errors along the way but has a lot of experience in the 6 in juniors and will develop nicely.
Looking forward to him playing this weekend.


Adam Doueihi hasnt played 80mins yet for the Tigers at 6. Lately I am amazed at how some people sing the praises of some of our guys, despite absolutely zero evidence. AD, TT, Mommers, Liddle and Simpkins the worst with Jock Madden an honorable mention.

Like all of our guys I hope AD is a raging success, but I shake my head at the capacity to generate hype from nothing.

Yep, it's always the guys that aren't there that people build up to be saviours but when they do play, everyone wants the next person in.

Right now the in-season players are Musgrove, Blore and Douehi

But in reality, Musgrove hasn't played NRL for 2 years, Blore has played half a dozen games and Douehi has played half a dozen games at 6 so far in their careers.

But obviously, us fans have no option but to believe and hope it works out. They will have to bide their time and have patient when they inevitably make mistakes due to lack of experience.

I think Doueihi will be an absolute gun in the halves for us.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I can see this kid being a Tiger for life

 

[cochise]

He still has some major holes in his game

I'll take your word on that cochise. I haven't seen "major holes" in his game, although there are areas I would like to see improved for him to become a more complete player, such as his right-to-left passing.

Also his defence in the front line has not been tested.

I agree that the basic ingredients are there for him to become an established 5/8.

The exact same things I want to see him work on mate. I think an improvement to his right to left passing is crucial for his transition to 5/8th

 

[The_Patriot]

He will need too shine because we dont have much else

Exactly.

This season comes down to him.

Its a case of Doueihi or dontihi

we don't have a replacement for AD if he goes down or Brook really
we do for the other bloke ...
that was the point

if Jack Wighton can be a success Adam Douhie can

Agreed, and it took Wighton approx 7 seasons to get there.

Madden is a big step down from Brooks and Mmbye well no, we do have a solid 9 in the wings for Liddle who would be at least equal to or an upgrade in simpkin.
In regards to Adam Douhie the season hinges on him if he fires at 6 we will make the 8

 

[JayT]

I have much more confidence in Adam shining in the halves than Brooks. Already a big fan of him!

 

[TCL]

Hope he goes well.

I assume he will take on some of the kicking duties. from memory he does possess a mean spiralling bomb.

I wasn't overly confident in his abilities as a fullback however, i hope he nails this and makes it his own.

I’m not sure what you are expecting. Not many clubs have great back up halves that they can slot straight in if need by.

if Jack Wighton can be a success Adam Douhie can

Agreed, and it took Wighton approx 7 seasons to get there.

Similar physical structure but different set of skills. Wighton's ammo is strength, speed, short passing and short kicking game. Douehi is more deceptive, has a good long pass and a killer bomb. Wighton also is a much better defender, whereas Douehi struggles with any lateral movement whatsoever.

Wighton does some basics really well like his reads in defence as well as having the best kick and chasae in the game. It's yet to see if Douehi has that in him, and it will take at least half a season for us to find out.

So do I. He was courageous at fullback but too slow. He is more suited to 5/8 however I am very nervous that he does tend to be susceptible to intercepts. Fingers crossed.

Nervous but someone needs to pull the trigger because I have given up on Brooks ever throwing a pass longer than 3 metres.

It didn’t take very long at all when moved to 6

 

[AdelaideTiger]

Yeah I have concerns about his defence this week with him likely up against Sitili Tupouniua. I think he will do a far better than Benji did against him last year, but Sitili is a very strong runner of the ball and with Garner on his inside and Roberts on his outside, he will need to be at the top of his game.
I have almost no concerns about his offence and think Nofoaluma in particular will benefit from Adam being back.

I agree completely, a lot are saying he is similar to wighton but really the only similarity is there size. Different running styles and as you said different skillset. He will make a name for himself, although with different respect to that of Jack Wighton.

It's just good to have Doueihi back in the team..
