450 k Max ...650k at centre is what I think is about right but only if he is actually motivated to play there.
to slow

And I agree with your disagreeable thoughts and opinionsI disagree with your disagreement.
I disagree with your disagreement.
Yep and we are paying a lot of money for such mediocrityBrooks is arguably our best running player acroos the board .....Douehi takes the mantle in opposition red zones
Across the entirity ...I'd say Brooks just pips Douehi as far as their running games go at both their best ....in the opposition red zone Douehi wins
But before people get outraged with this comment ...it explains why we finished a long last in 2022
I disagree with the fact you disagreed with my statement.I disagree with your disagreement.
QFT brotherYep and we are paying a lot of money for such mediocrity
There are a few players that have done a career transformation. Chris Lawrence did it moving to the front row.AD isn’t a top line centre. That’s a lot of money to pay someone on potential.
Talented guy but his frame and his skills don’t compliment each other. Great fullback but lacks speed, skilful enough & big enough for lock but lacks defensive skills. Not enough impact for a 14, to slow and not skilful enough for 6, not an organiser for. 7
I will add in Mitchell Latrell, also Justin Olam from the Storm*. Agreed we don't see many 800k Centers and when they do appear they are usually pushed into 5/8 or Fullback.Only one true centre in the game worth 800 k and that is Manu ...and he'd be a 1 or 6 here
Doueihi was faster in his debut season at Souths. A centre may be worth $800k at some time in the future, as the cap increases, but not for a couple of seasons yet imo.Going to float a Stupid idea here.
We want Doueihi to play Center, ok most people want him to play center.
Doueihi is asking for 5/8 and 900k. What if we said 800k and Center?
^not saying I am in favour of this. I am floating the idea, food for thought.
Pros:
We get a backline that starts owning the positions.
We free up 5/8 for real superstar talent.
We see a combination outside of the halves.
Cons:
we lose 400k overpaying for Center.
Doueihi isn't fast.
Reality, I only see AD leaving the tigers and I have no idea who is going to pay anything close to 900k. Yet I see a few NRL players go to Fullback or 5/8 because that is where the money is. Valentine Holmes is a far better winger then fullback IMHO. Maybe we can do something different here.
Doueihi was getting over an acl injury last season .He will be a lot faster and confident next year .Give the bloke a go.Doueihi was faster in his debut season at Souths. A centre may be worth $800k at some time in the future, as the cap increases, but not for a couple of seasons yet imo.

That's what I'm saying. Sometimes we're too quick to forget. If you're under 26 most skills just don't dissapear.Doueihi was getting over an acl injury last season .He will be a lot faster and confident next year .Give the bloke a go.

Happy to give him "A Go".Doueihi was getting over an acl injury last season .He will be a lot faster and confident next year .Give the bloke a go.
I actually think there is call for an 800k Center. It's not Doueihi. Justin Olam, Various people from Penrith, Joey Manu could all fit that bill.Doueihi was faster in his debut season at Souths.

I think Naden can be a gun centre for us let’s hope sheens doesn’t play him on the wingI actually think there is call for an 800k Center. It's not Doueihi. Justin Olam, Various people from Penrith, Joey Manu could all fit that bill.
I see every team spending 1 Mil on the halfback (excluding risking a rookie), spending similar on their 5/8 and fullback... Everyone is investing in their spine which can work.
Alternatively I think you can develop your Centres to get a good backline defence. Once Defence is sorted it is easier for young halves to learn the attack. That said we have tried this and failed with Roberts/BJ Leulia. A different pairing of Olam and Manu would totally change the situation IMHO (ofcourse I am dreaming).
