Adam Doueihi #227

[Merlot]

Those suggesting Adam could end up in the backrow are on the money in my opinion.
I think Doueihi at lock would give the team the best chance to get the most out of his talents.

His running game would transition easily to the role. Motor and defence the concerns to overcome. I would be super excited if our halves are settled by the time Adam comes back and he has a crack at lock. It allows us to use all his best attributes.

It's a big no for me to put him in the centres. He is a game breaker, and there were way too many games last year that he didn't see enough ball when playing in the centres. 5/8 or lock IMO. Possibly edge backrow as 3rd choice. Centre is the last option.

You saying at Wade Graham style second rower?

censored,we could do with a few of them

 

[FinestTigers]

he's the most natural 6 we've got and is a massive talent who's still only **22**

**23**

**24** soon too, if I’m not mistaken?

**25** next year

Sounds like Adam's a leapling, and his age is being confused by calculating his number of his birthdays which happens only every four years.

The last leap year was in 2020,
If Adam is now **22** this would mean that Adam was **20** in 2020,

Which would mean that Adam would be **24** at his next birthday and not 24 this year or 25 next year but **24 in 2024**.

This is the unfortunate thing of being a leapling, but hang on a minute!
Is Adam actually a leapling?

Geez so insightful, I'm having another beer, after all I'm 64, no wait, 65 next year.

Humour, Our social life is pointless without it, the previous posts which i was replying to, i thaught were funny, and my post was following that humour. But your reply to it is "Geez so insightful" ?

Now i'm not so sure how i should understand your reply?

Surely we are not Incapable of seeing the difference between humour and seriousness, are we?

Will waste his career if we turn him into a utility. Needs to stay at 6 and own it

not if Brooks and Hastings do a good job in halves he doesn't, he fits in where he is required

Can't see him playing second fiddle to Brooks/Hastings. Our best player in the side.

Oh mate of cause I do, the prob with text msg and emails or any written correspondence is the content can be interpreted many ways by the recipient.
I was enjoying it mate, don't stress.

I don't think the forwards is a great option for a bloke with questionable defence and a history of bad injuries.
5/8 or centre.

Maybe 14

Plenty think he’s our best player… can’t see him sitting on the pine.

They obviously have never heard of Stefano then.

Stefano was playing reserve grade halfway through the year.

A lot of talent and our forward leader of the future if he's re-signed but Doueihi's our best player by a mile.

The forum is in meltdown mode atm at the prospect that Stefano may leave. Doueihi wouldn’t generate that same amount of anxiety. Plus very good chance Stef plays Origin this year.

Not gonna get into this debate cause I love Stefano as much as anyone but I just think Doueihi (when fit) holds the most influence over our team winning at this point in time.

Also think he'll end up playing Origin in the next 2-3 years, with this year all about slowly returning to fitness.

He’s a very good club player. That’s it.

Disagree.

Anyway, we’ll see how his career pans out.

No, actually, I didn't miss it because it didn't happen.

But, it's ok, by your standards to offer advice to me about the tone of my comments, but not those of one of your buddies? Is that it?

Chill out son, it’s a holiday.

I’m a big fan of AD, and he’s easily one of the best 3 players in our team. But I haven’t heard his name thrown around in rep circles. He’d probably make the City team if City-Country were still a thing, but that’s his ceiling rep footy wise.
