I genuinely don't think there is a position in the team for him. I think AD at 5/8, centre or fullback makes our team worse.
OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227
- Thread starter TIGER
- Start date
I'm of the belief AD > Brooks. Still.
AD is off this year, inexcusable.
Needs to find form in NSW cup.
Brooks is incapable of finding form and should be shown the door as soon as possible.
What's the worst outcome?
A) 2023, wooden spoon
B) 2023, wooden spoon - but have Brooks' 1m salary available to spend elsewhere ?

Unfortunately Demps, I don’t think Brooks is going anywhere coz he’s certainly not making himself saleable, unless at a heavily discounted price.
Let’s see if that little spark we saw between him and Wakeham yesterday ignites into a flame. Who knows, an unheralded signing could have the key to open the door ?
And no, I’m not drinking just thinking out loud !
Demps be honest,AD was doing fine in an ordinary team under Maguire,he was a standout while the Madge haters said the team is regressing under him and was sacked...dont you think this team is regressing under Sheens and co and that is why AD and others are performing badly?..to be honest with you,I think the team didnt respond to Madge and now their not responding to Sheens,there is plenty of time to get it right,but we need to see improvement within this team in the next 3/4 games or it becomes the same saga all over again....
Currently Brooks has no contract after this season.
We simply, do not offer him a deal.
AD and Wakeham had a spark in the raiders trial.
Wakeham is clearly the difference.
It's likely....
Clearly something isn't working.
Nofo went to Melb and didn't look like a star.
Our team is subpar - hopefully the new recruits don't succumb to this mess.

Just not sure that AD is going to be in the front line after Sheens comments, but who knows.
They both need to go. Big mistake extending Doueihi as well. Only the Wests Tigers would extend sub-par halves.
Doueihi was diabolical yesterday. He ought to earn himself a spell in state cup for that effort. Absolutely zero effort in defence. Has someone told him that social distancing is not required any more?

Sounds like Sheensy will put AD to fullback
Madge coached AD to run, that is his strength hands down. Anything else he just struggles to do or be consistent with.
Since his injury he has struggled to even run & his defensive efforts are costly every single game now.
Can blame coaching on his ball playing to some degree but his simple knock ons, intercepts, goal kicking and just lack of defensive efforts aren’t on the coaches thats on AD. Maybe his knee has hit him for six but to me that would be an excuse because he has no issues running long distances fine - to me it’s looks like it’s all mental for him.
Eitherway he is looking busted right now.
I dont think the team is subpar,I think it is pretty strong with a mix of youth and experience,the ones who have been here the longest are comfortable in their surroundings and know they cant be dropped as others can...hopefully Sheens will finally become the coach that changes all that and makes this team a PROFESSIONAL NRL standard team that we all know it should be...
Lets face it,all the players we have, have talent and performances in rep footy such as origin,country reps and grand finalists with some very handy young ones coming up...
My question is,how many years do we put up with non performing coaches, players and every excuse under the sun for not playing finals in 10 years...? the front office also needs a mention for poor performance even though Pascoe is making money,it doesnt equate to football success....
Let him go to a sports phycologist and sort his head out MT, because the way he is he is costing us games and embarrassing himself...I hope he can sort himself out,he has ability and could be worth a spot in the top 17 either with us or somewhere else...

Are you serious ? One of the slowest players in the team playing on the wing. He needs to be dropped and work on his game.
Anyone who continues to pick the guy including Sheens is doing the guy a massive disservice. He needs someone to be honest with him about his ability and where his career is heading.

Massive massive massive bias. There is no way AD is in Brooks class or close to it atm.

Doesn't matter mate. We don't have to re-sign him.

He is too slow for fullback and whilst it was hot yesterday, he looked cooked early and is either carrying an injury or did not do the fitness work in the preseason. I could excuse him last year coming back from an ACL but he is not playing like a first grader.
