Not sure if this has been posted before, how good is this. Doueihi smack talking Reynolds before his goal kick.

Go Doueihi... He's our future leader for sure.

no cap, that's cap(tain)

Are you clutch Reno, laces reno lol lol . Future long term captain. Make him captain in the off season and watch him become a future tigers champion. People being hard on him have to realise this is his first year playing 6. Only bigger and better things to come from this guy.

He won't be captain until he learns to defend and also be situationally aware on-field.

Amazing how you have so much expertise for our coach and for our 5/8 but think so highly of our number 7 who can tackle but do nothing else. Doueihi will achieve more for this club in a few years then brooks would on a life time. I will give him some leeway for someone playing his first year in that position. Again interesting you don’t have that some passion to critique someone who has been playing poorly in his position for the last ten years.

Adam is a great footballer and with some improvement will be a complete footballer.

Something Brooks hasn't been able to even come close to achieving in 10 years.

He's the least of our problems.

AD is a good player, IMO he is 100% NOT a footballer. Good skillful athlete, not a footballer.

The reason I think this is the first time he was dropped from no6, it was (IMO) because his outside backs simply were not getting the ball. Since he has gone back to 6 he is feeding them a LOT more ball, but this is the problem. He does one or the other like an automaton. He doesnt/cant play what is in front of him.

Midway through the first half there was a moment about 20m out and there was a MASSIVE gap outside him. Lucy saw it and was screaming off him into the wide gap. Outside this gap the defence was man on man. AD cut out LL and gave it to TT who was pinned and gave it to Nofo who was jammed against the sideline and it came to nothing. If he gave it to LL he scores untouched and we win the game.

AD is one of our best players but he has MASSIVE (IMO) shortcomings as a 6. I really dont know his best position and he reminds me a LOT of Michael Withers for the old Balmain heads here.

He's literally not even played a full season of NRL in the halves. He has more try assists than Brooks and has played excellent attacking football in the 6. Any idea that we should give up on him or move him elsewhere is ridiculous, let him develop and grow his game.

Brooks constantly gets made excuses for and Doueihi hasn't even played a whole year in the halves and people give up on him it's crazy

Even opposition fans know he's a good player, he's one of the few tigers players who gets credit for being good. He's one to build around for the future and he will do nothing but improve playing in the halves. He'd do even better with a halfback who can control and organise a game so Doueihi doesn't have to try and create ALL our points

Wow....did I trigger something?

WHat did I say about Brooks?

You do realise we play predominantly left/right? You didnt say anything about what I actually did say?

I usually like your posts but that is incorrect. Unless you mean left and right as in Left Laurie and Right Doueihi. Brooks plays in the middle fat more than he does on the left. That’s why I guess people find it so frustrating is coz Doueihi is put into the spot to make the play and sometimes it’s executed correctly sometimes it fails. But a lot is forgotten about who gets that play set and puts AD in that position. In a way I’d prefer we’d play left and right as that’s the way the game has gone but I haven’t seen one example where Doueihi digs deep into the line to set up his near or far runner. Not the way Mbye did from 6 that is.

Probably fair enough. By left/right, I generally mean that Douiehi (almost) never sets up plays on the left. Left side plays are generally Brooks/Laurie. I agree with you that at times Brooks feeds AD on the right.

Hopefully with the benefit of a weeks training knowing that Laurie is gone for the season we have got Mbye back comfortable playing that same way on the left wrapping around the back of Brooks. We were clueless last weekend having such a big change affecting our attacking shape. Culminating from a new backrower and centre in Blore and Chee. It was tough but essentially it looked like they hadn’t played all season together and well they pretty much didn’t. The play went right a fair bit in the advantage point but a lot players were out of shape on the right also. A quick agile fullback out the back provides that extra threat unfortunately I have my doubts of MBye being able to replicate that threat. In saying that with the newer spine we would be much better off playing a flatter shape with less shifting.

 

[BAGNF05]

His best game has been when he has straightened the attack and then played out the back, this created room for his outside backs and saw Laurie have his best game. Last week he was still feeding the backs but wasn't straightening the attack first and it really has a negative effect on the game.

With good coaching I would hope to see him return to the successful gameplan he played with a couple of weeks ago.

Agreed, but I also think he needs to learn to play heads up and play what is in front of him. Im not sure that can actually be coached. Maybe learn over time.

I think he is one of our best. Not sure where he stays long term. He will get bigger as well.

I do agree he does appear robotic at times and it is something I hadn't considered until you mentioned it.

He’s a similar player to Wighton they are more athletes than ball players. Problem we have is a lack of class on the edge. He is a running threat but our outside men don’t do him justice when he gives them early ball. Wighton has had an inform BJ, Croker, Rapana as well as some strong back rowers.

People expect your halves to do too much, sometimes guys just have to win their individual battles.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

AD is an interesting one. He has glimpses he could be awesome and yet he has moments that makes you wonder can he actually make it. He is young & has more upside than negatives atm compared to some of our younger guys. He absolutely is very structured play style and really struggles in unstructured/off the cuff style both attack and defensively.

He needs to be given a position and just leave him to learn that position for a good 12-18mths if that doesn’t happen he will become another Mbye for us. He also needs to rove, he can be effective on the right but clubs will work it out soon enough. His defensive efforts will be what makes him awesome for us or another we will cast away in a few years, his defensive reads are worse than moses at same age which is of concern given his frame, speed and size.

Alot to work on which is why I don’t want him as captain at the moment. He has big enough flaws in his own game needing to improve that he just isn’t ready to lead everyone else around until his defensive side is fixed. Imagine your captain letting in tries every week getting in the huddle telling people to defend better… which is our biggest issue atm.

So didn’t I. But do you prefer the way we are playing at the moment? I don’t think Doueihi and Mbye are agile enough to play the traditional style.

Agreed, but conversely, last week AD had LL doing the right thing running into the gap and he threw it past to the centre.

Don’t ya mean Michael Gillett more like??

 

[Ed Sweeny]

Agree with most on hear that Adam is the type of player we want and need at the club for obvious passion he has for the game and pride he shows playing in the NRL. Agree he is youngish and needs to develop but really the constant change of people in positions around him and what I perceive is the lack of trust between the current squad. Need to move on our ex captain to take that dynamic out and what tamou said about his lack of yelling/whatever cause he was new made me wince. If AD doesn't develop into a top 20% NRL player it is the weststigers coaching groups fault. 2 million + bucks in staff salaries should be able round out the guys we want to keep

 

[Milky]

He’s the best player we have signed in forever. Love watching him play…He’s not gona win every game for us, but most of our wins come off his back..

Well said mate.

Still hasn't cemented a position similar to talau

 

[Russell]

In the game against the Warriors he popped up quite a few times on the left, which I think Madge has given him an ok to play both sides, left if he sees an opportunity.

Defence wise, I think in the last two games he has been given a task to stop the opposition full back. Could not tell you how many times he tackled Turbo and that little weasel Walsh, shutting down the play.

I have noticed that for a couple of weeks and have enjoyed that part of his game.

I think with the current team now I’d prefer Doueihi to swing further around to the left and be the fullback replacement for Laurie. Douehi doesn’t go into the line the same way as MBye does and I see a real struggle in MBye when he tries to play that Laurie role. He works better off one pass when his static and straightening the line.

 

[851]

With good coaching I would hope to see him return to the successful gameplan he played with a couple of weeks ago.

What club's he going to to get that?

Certainly not under Madge, almost every player has regressed

 

[Harvey]

I hope he enjoyed his birthday.

I heard that he cut the cake, put slices on plates & then didn't pass them to anyone.

Are you clutch Reno, laces reno lol lol . Future long term captain. Make him captain in the off season and watch him become a future tigers champion. People being hard on him have to realise this is his first year playing 6. Only bigger and better things to come from this guy.

He won't be captain until he learns to defend and also be situationally aware on-field.

Amazing how you have so much expertise for our coach and for our 5/8 but think so highly of our number 7 who can tackle but do nothing else. Doueihi will achieve more for this club in a few years then brooks would on a life time. I will give him some leeway for someone playing his first year in that position. Again interesting you don’t have that some passion to critique someone who has been playing poorly in his position for the last ten years.

?

Adam is a great footballer and with some improvement will be a complete footballer.

Something Brooks hasn't been able to even come close to achieving in 10 years.

He's the least of our problems.

AD is a good player, IMO he is 100% NOT a footballer. Good skillful athlete, not a footballer.

The reason I think this is the first time he was dropped from no6, it was (IMO) because his outside backs simply were not getting the ball. Since he has gone back to 6 he is feeding them a LOT more ball, but this is the problem. He does one or the other like an automaton. He doesnt/cant play what is in front of him.

Midway through the first half there was a moment about 20m out and there was a MASSIVE gap outside him. Lucy saw it and was screaming off him into the wide gap. Outside this gap the defence was man on man. AD cut out LL and gave it to TT who was pinned and gave it to Nofo who was jammed against the sideline and it came to nothing. If he gave it to LL he scores untouched and we win the game.

AD is one of our best players but he has MASSIVE (IMO) shortcomings as a 6. I really dont know his best position and he reminds me a LOT of Michael Withers for the old Balmain heads here.

Don’t ya mean Michael Gillett more like??

Actually I think you are 100 correct
