OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

[facepalmer]

For me he seems the logical choice to be captain of this side. He has the most passion, he puts in the most effort and if we need a big time play out of anyone in the side he is who I would be giving the ball to. For me he ticks every box.

I'm certain he is a good bloke, but haven't seen anything that says he is captain material.

Admittedly, I don't get to training and this is where you see the natural leaders and who is following, but I haven't seen it from AD. I've seen him during games, like many others, juts standing there stone faced. Nothing wrong with that, because 95% of the population does that, and that's when real leaders and captains stand up and put themselves out there.

And if I was going to be brutally honest, I've seen it from no one else in the team either. I did see Joe O screaming at the team behind the goal line on multiple occasions last week, but can't say I've really noticed and I haven't seen anything else from him that has made him stand out.

I could see maybe a Jake Simpkin, if he has a good start in the next few weeks and gets some respect.

Not saying AD couldn't be, I'm just not seeing anything that I'd like to see from a leader.

 

[Geo]

Doueihi cares..so that's a start..

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Doueihi cares..so that's a start..

Yeah he does, he’s a good boy. Probably wishing he’d never left Souths.

 

[upthetigers]

Also he's vocal with the boys and is on the field for the full 80 mins.

 

[hobbo1]

Yeah why not !
Current captain only plays 28 mins and plods !

 

[GNR4LIFE]

He’s next in line. If Tamou retires at the end of next year, AD will be the man in 2023.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Yeah he is the anointed one.

 

[hobbo1]

Yeah he is the anointed one.

He gets the poisoned chalice ...poor bastard .

 

[WT2K]

Sooner it happens the better

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Yeah he is the anointed one.

He gets the poisoned chalice ...poor bastard .

On the contrary, he will care which is what we need.

 

[TrueTiger]

Yeah he is the anointed one.

Trouble id CB,no good have a great captain if what he says on the field goes in one ear and out the other of the other 12 blokes on the field....
It doesnt matter what the coach says or does or what the captain says or does...if it DOESNT SINK IN to the thick heads that are the rest of the team,then its a very hard long road to walk....

 

[hobbo1]

Yeah he is the anointed one.

He gets the poisoned chalice ...poor bastard .

On the contrary, he will care which is what we need.

It’ll be a one man show unfortunately

 

[cqtiger]

In defense of captain Tamau, I don’t think he was thinking of coming into a group of dopey and lazy grafters when he signed

He is already a good leader and nothing would improve making him a leader

I still say the ideal candidate is Brooks ...force him to lead this side ....and if he does ,,we get some upside from the decision

Wouldn’t be able to handle the additional pressure

It’s not in his personality

 

[balmain boy]

Maybe in a couple of year's time.

 

[TigerSJ]

I think Brooks already has too much pressure on him. Whether he has played well in recent weeks or not, he is still being panned by the media with stories of how the club has turned on him etc etc - couldn't be very helpful for his own confidence really.

As for Doueihi, as much as I see passion and desire in him, I am not sure he has the maturity yet - especially emotionally. He is still young and maybe needs a couple more years of NRL experience and time at the club to grow into a true Captain.

Tamou needs to take a look in the mirror and decide if he wants his career to end in a fizzle with many Tigers fans thinking he's a dud (Anasta comes to mind), or whether he wants to end it as a champion. If it's the latter, then he needs to lift his effort and his desire and lead the youngsters and the weak-willed into a battle against the insidious lethargy and lack of belief that pervades this club. Tamou needs to pull his finger out and have a go, he needs to drag the rest of this lot with him screaming like a mongrel!

 

[Sco77y]

Yeah why not !
Current captain only plays 28 mins and plods !

28 minute plodder :joy: That just screams captain material. Geez we can pick them.. Can't remember the last time we had any form of quality leadership. Douehi couldn't do any worse, that's for sure.
