OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

[Demps]

Was on fire at FB for the Rabbits last time he come back...
Either way - His attitude is puss.

I saw J Moz get up with a busted Ligament and chase down GI to score...
Last night I saw Doueihi picking up pennies or some such instead of doing his job.

Was decent in the Broncos game (Not the king he's made out to be, But decent) Did nothing in the Cows game bar an offload against Tiny Tom Deardon...

Outside that, He's been filling up a jersey.

Yes.

He's not alone either.
Its not ideal...

Beating a dead horse at this point.
Roster overhaul needed and a very honest pre season by all.

Can agree with most of it, but an experienced first grade half is getting more than half a million a season.

But Doueihi is not currently an experienced first grade half.

The king 🤴 is dead
Long live the imp

I really like your plan but can we get those guys ?

probably not but money talks

 

[Kaito]

Old St Pats boy, what do U expect.
Should have sent his ass to
Christian Brothers Lewisham lol.
Seriously though, he plays a lot
Like a rugby union fly half sits
Back, runs the ball and doesn't
like tackling much. Loves the club
and coming off the reco. We'll
see him in better form next year

You know we're [This word has been automatically removed]ed when the boss is back on the imp 🤣🤣

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

he should head to rugby

I don’t see one person sticking up for douehi after that performance. Even his supporters. Compare that to the fan boys of brooks who will stick up for a non performing $1.1million a year player no matter what he does.

I feel that I have remained objective on both players, standing up for and criticising both in reasonable balance. Halves can only ever consistently do that which their forwards allow, as we saw again last night.

For mine it is simply the case of the shiny new toy that always had glaring limitations losing it's gloss, particularly defensively and the exaggerated opinion of oneself. Understandable though for many to look past, as us WT fans are looking for any glimmer of hope after more than a decade of disappointment.

Hastings was no different. Was soon worked out as a half in the NRL, then getting a lot of it back when moved into the role he was suited and signed to fill.

I have always maintained that Brooks remained our best half, and that Hastings would be an organising ball feeding lock.

 

[weststigers]

Been saying this for weeks…you can tell how the game will pan out after the first set…

I would say this…

When a team is better than you, but you turn up to play, they may beat you by 20 because of a sheer mismatch in quality, but if a team is better than you AND you just go through the motions, you’ll cop a hiding. That’s what happened last night…our general apathy in everything we did cost us 40-50 points.

You know we're ****ed when the boss is back on the imp 🤣🤣

Sorry … it won’t happen again
Apologies to all .

 

[cktiger]

Read above. According to Cameron Smith, the Storm wanted Brooks to replace Cronk but you continually run him down.

But at what money did they want him (if true)?

Haha ledge🙏

Douihei is a good player. He had an absolute shocker last night as bad as Kyle Lovett in the centres years ago against Penrith. He’s solid usually but not elite. He plays centre for mine with brooks and Hastings in the halves. The more I see at 5/8 he can’t get it done consistently as a play maker.

I posted the article. I'm not sure if it mentioned $ but it was Cameron Smith who confirmed it.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

keep douhie as a centre

 

[cktiger]

I posted the article. I'm not sure if it mentioned $ but it was Cameron Smith who confirmed it.

The thing is that plenty would take him … but at nowhere near the $$$ that we’re wasting on him.

 

[TIGERPOWER]

1 - Brooks has never been that poor
2 - It's not sticking up for Brooks arguing against idiots that try to tell you Madden is the future
3 - Point above has been well and truly put to bed... Send him back to Ressies to do nothing there
4 - Brooks is still the best half at the club, And the best we can get by the looks of it.

1. Brooks has lost us more games then doueihi has and ever will
2. Brooks has had 8 years to prove himself as a leading half earning $1million a year and still hasn’t delivered.
4. The misssing link is Hastings not brooks. Hastings has shown us more in half a season then brooks has in 8. Having Hastings with madden and doueihi we actually looked good.

 

[earl]

Certainly don’t think he deserves the vitriol being aimed at him last night and today.

I have never in my life seen a worse defensive performance. On top of that he has made it really clear he expects the 6 jersey and to be a leader of this team.

Prior to the last two games he’s shown he can be a real attacking weapon.

He has played 1/2 game since coming back which showed how good he can be when running the footy. That output simply isn't good enough or anywhere close to being good enough.

He is apparently on 650k per year. Just let that sink in.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Doueihi if he stays will be imo playing within a framework from Sheens. He did it with Rob Lui who wasn't the finished product (on-field) when he played first grade. Working with Brooks and Hastings plus the addition of Papali'i on the right he will find his confidence (especially returning from an ACL)l

Will be interesting to see what impact, if any, Benji can have on Brooks( looking like Brooks staying).
Assume he will be attack coach coz he couldn’t tackle either!
That leaves Robbie with the forwards.
At least Robbie won’t be able to slag the defence coach.
And Tim, he has to be the ringmaster and pull it all together. Interesting times ahead.
