I agree. If Hastings has fit in as well as they say then he can hold the spot until Douehi comes back. Just hope they can both kill it in first grade first and foremost. It’s a sad reflection on the club that we don’t have many leaders to choose from
Adam Doueihi #227

What happens to Hastings when Doueihi is fit though?
I guess he can be vice captain but part of a larger leadership group that probably involves Stefano, Twal and possibly Noffa if his attitude is right this year
NRL 2022: Wests Tigers to reveal five-man leadership group after captaincy overhaul
The Wests Tigers have overhauled the club’s leadership structure over the preseason after bringing in leadership guru Dan Haesler.

The Wests Tigers are set to confirm a five-man leadership group today.
The group will include James Tamou, Luke Brooks, Adam Doueihi, Ken Maumalo and Tyrone Peachey and is expected to share responsibility for the captaincy this season.
Tamou led the side last season but the club has overhauled its leadership structure over the preseason after bringing in leadership guru Dan Haesler.
While Tamou, Brooks and Doueihi were part of the leadership group last season, they have been joined by Peachey and Maumalo as part of the revised structure.
The Tigers drafted in Haeslar, the leadership guru used by Shaun Johnson, to help them sift through their captaincy candidates.
Haesler wrote the book, ‘The Act of Leadership’ and his website includes testimonials from the Canberra Raiders and Warriors star Johnson – the latter claimed Haesler “unlocked him” during the 2020 season.
Maguire was reluctant to discuss the captaincy conundrum on Monday. If anything, he was surprised by the interest in the role, which flared on Friday night after Tamou was asked during the side’s loss to Manly whether he would lead the side again this season.
The Tigers were overpowered by the Sea Eagles, although in their defence they had a number of their starting side on the sidelines. Maumalo, Jackson Hastings, Luke Garner and Dane Laurie are all expected to come into the side for their second and final trial against the Sydney Roosters on Friday night.
No coach is under as much pressure as Maguire to get immediate results heading into the start of the premiership and the Tigers mentor needs his players singing from the same hymn sheet.
The decision to bring in Haesler to help shows how determined the club is to get their leadership right.
They have looked rudderless at times in recent years and Haesler claims on his website to be a coach “whose work focuses on creating happier, healthier and higher performance”.
He also claims to work with leaders “in order to help them, and the people they lead, to thrive, professionally and personally”.
His website features a testimonial attributed to the Canberra Raiders which reads: “Engaging, relevant and challenging. Dan Haesler was inspiring, it allowed us to think differently in regard to how we make decisions both inside and outside the footballing environment of the NRL.”
Johnson went a step further when he talked about the work he did with Haesler on the Matty Johns show on Fox League.
“Dan has unlocked me,” Johnson said.
“Early on in the 2020 season I was struggling and copped a fair bit of criticism. What he has been able to give me in terms of belief and trusting myself has been the reason for my turnaround.”

We see Jonty as a great and exciting addition to our club, welcome Jonty and congratulations to coach Lauren for her major involvement in his development.

Doueihi is a fine candidate but I would like to see him on-filed asap so concentrating on his rehab is the first priority.

I tend to agree. I think if Hastings shows a bit of leadership on field in the next trial that he would currently be the best qualified to take on that role.
If he fails to show those leadership qualities then I don't know who would be best to take on the role, but ideally it should be someone that plays big minutes.
Please not Noffo and please don't put more pressure and responsibility on Brooksy, he just doesn't need it.
C'mon @GNR4LIFE....... Cobar is one of the most respectful posters on here, and he does amazing work [he will probably be to humble to admit to it though] helping our mentally and physically disabled retired Army Vets, and he is one of the badly injured as well.
He gave you a very minor raspberry and that's all.
Have a great day 🙂
Awww thanks everyone for the kind words. Much appreciate them.
Just be warned that there's every likelihood I'll be calling for some advice over the years.
I'm sure uncle @Merlot will be handy or helpful (for me) during teething. Or that the many yarns told on the forum would make for some great bedtime reading.
Love you guys.

Kenny is a big surprise if true.
Is Twal not seen as a leader? I know he lacks the creativity but he's the first one I pick in the starting side either at 10 or 13 each week. I was really hoping to see him evolve into a Finucane/Jackson type leader.

Hey Lauren, there is a joke I heard a long time ago that goes something like this.
Father tells his mate that his missus just had a baby.
Mate: how is it going?
Father: It is terrible, the smell of poo, contant crying, not sleeping, always hungry, the tantrums, it's all too much!
Mate: gee mate that sounds like a difficult baby.
Father: na thats just me, the baby is fine 🤣

Snippets from a recent article from FoxSports.
Jasper Bruce from Nca Newswire
May 6th, 2022 4:30 pm
Maguire said he was hopeful Adam Doueihi could return early from a long-term knee injury.
The Tigers’ best player in 2021, Doueihi could return to the fray earlier than initially expected.
“He’s training really well at the moment, so fingers crossed we might be able to get him a tad earlier than what was expected.
Doueihi’s return could create a selection headache for Maguire; the Tigers’ halves combination of Luke Brooks and Jackson Hastings is firing and Daine Laurie firms as the club’s long-term fullback.
Doueihi is a chance to slot into the centres, having started there on 15 occasions before, but Maguire said he had yet to make a decision about where Doueihi would play.
“I haven’t even thought about that,” he said.
Whether it was a smoke screen or not his comment about not thinking about it raised my eyebrows.
One of the most influential players in our side and he hasn't thought about it, come on Madge we're not that silly.
What position do you think Adam will play in. What will our final backline makeup look like going forward?
Thoughts......
