Can he tackle?Can he ball play like Hastings or Yeo or Murray do in that position ? I don't see it.

Spine players get paid 30-40% moreWhy wouldn't Adam try to become a marquee centre.
What big fish would that be?I agree, Adam would have been far better off choosing a 3,4 or 13 jersey and establishing himself as the club’s best in one of those positions.
He’s a good player out of sorts for some reason, and now wanting a big contract. Laurie now is also asking for a 100% pay rise. Maybe their managers have indicated to them there’s interest from other clubs?
Someone posted that Staines needs to gain another 10kg, and the sad reality is that’s the case with too many in our squad.
We’re a bottom feeder club, Dolphins, Sharks and others are only leaving us the small fish.
Yeh I know but a quality centre like Manu can demand good coin.Spine players get paid 30-40% more
1000% don't understand the hate for him lately... seems to be the only one in the team who can break the line and create something for usLove Adam D,
Great attitude, Fights to Win, Wants to be part of a successful Wests Tigers
He and Hastings are absolute top priority Retains
1000% don't understand the hate for him lately..
Defensively I can agree but the whole team was poor so tough to point fingers purely at him - I have faith in AD as a player to understand that wasn't his strong suit and to work on it during pre season and come back more polished, he has the work rate in him to commit too it - we all remember how Brooks use to be in that regardPoor defense, goes missing, limited game (great runner, great long pass to his right, great bomb but not much else), overpaid and a primma donna demanding to play 6 but not performing up to standard.
At his best he is awesome. He was my favorite player and I thought he'd cement the 6 spot this season but he didn't.
He did come back from a very serious knee injury and his preseason was hampered. It's for this reason that I'm cutting him some slack.Poor defense, goes missing, limited game (great runner, great long pass to his right, great bomb but not much else), overpaid and a primma donna demanding to play 6 but not performing up to standard.

Here here!AD started 3 games this season next to both Hastings and Brooks let's remember - also coming off his second ACL floating position to position
Those 3 games
Cowboys 27-26 - we all know we beat them
Penrith 18-16 - tight loss
Eels - 20-28 - tight loss
Against the 3 best teams in the comp and we went with them imo - give the kid a full injury free preseason with those 3 with Api and Papalili coming and he might benefit more than yous think
Manu is leaps and bounds ahead of every centre in the game though - most centres move on to play #1 or #6 long before they get to his level.Yeh I know but a quality centre like Manu can demand good coin.
I've just seen a steady change where players are getting more due to their influence on the game.
Brooks fans deflecting....1000% don't understand the hate for him lately... seems to be the only one in the team who can break the line and create something for us
If we're looking for a scapegoat then AD isn't the one - other 16 people on the field
I understand his defence has been poor towards the backend of the year, but has anyone this year barring maybe 1-2 been solid in D lately?
Even his GK got a lot better and you can tell he has that work rate, as a 6 he needs to be in the right system to be successful - as much as I hate to admit it if he goes to Melb with Pap, Hughes and Grant he'll be elite.... now we can either create a system for both him and Hastings to deliver or we can bash them I know which option I prefer

Respectfully disagree about his limited game, he's a fantastic runner of the football with a good offload in him too, his passing is exceptional and he can also put up a very good bomb plus a good GK too... as a 6 what more do you really want?
Also is barely overpaid imo, I believe we're only paying him about 500k and for someone who I believe was our only attacking threat all last season I'm not too mad at that price tag... someone else on the team worth double that whom barely has the kicking game or running game AD had last season
The kid believes he's a 6 nothing wrong with that... once again if he was in the right system he would be a good 6 also don't doubt if we were to move him at centre/lock he would complain as much as people make it out - as long as we pay him his market value if he can get more $ elsewhere from another team be my guest but I do doubt that
Brooks fans deflecting....
he was signed as a fullback from southsI've got mates who support a variety of teams but the one thing they all agree on is that AD is our best player.
Not sure why he's copping such a bagging after an ACL injury screwed his entire off season and most of this year.
The guy is a a keeper, as is Hastings.
If Sheens has been given a pass for results this season, given he was responsible for most of the decisions that impacted negatively on the squad this year, Douehi is entitled to be given some leeway.
