OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

Same argument as always , neither players being spoken about are going to be premiership halves

So lets argue about their replacements

Yeah, unfortunately it sounds like Sheenius is keen on Doueihi at fullback.

Don't know what the old bloke is seeing because I certainly can't see it and thought that Staines was going pretty well at the back.

How the hell is Doueihi going to organize our defence from out the back when he hasn't got a clue how to defend himself to start with.

he should have gone to spec savers

it doesn’t take a lot to be in Brooks class… agree he’s been better than AD but Wakeham came on & outplayed both of them in 30 minutes which says a lot about the form both are currently in

Exactly. Wakeham has been one of the worst halves in the NRL for the last couple of years being in and out of first grade. The fact that he is our form half speaks volumes about how bad Doeiuhi and Brooks have been.

No way doueihi can play centre as he's a terrible defender, too slow and can't pass.

Used to rate him but he's fallen off a cliff since his knee injury.

Unplayable IMO.

I really like the guy , but he's made himself undefendable nothing clicking in any aspect of his game. Needs some healing time then a few weeks in lower grade to recover any mojo he can. Pls Uncle Tim drop him.. I get loyalty to your players and backing them but there comes a point where you have to change to go forward

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....

It's only round 3. I suppose the hope was a Brooks/AD pair because that was all we had. Wakeham had only been here for a few weeks before kick off so they had to give things time to pan out. As of yesterday, I guess the picture is much more clear. After watching all the games so far a few times, I'm certain we would have won all 3 with Wakeham in the team, not so much because he's so good but because the other two are so bad.

Wakeham has been one of the worst halves in one of the worst teams. Hes never played behind as good a pack as we have. Give him 4 weeks, weve given the other 2 plenty of time.
 
I can't believe AD isn't going to get dropped, it would have to be one of the worst individual performances I've seen in years, off the back of two other mediocre games. He needs to spend some time in reggies and work on his defence.

He has been awful this year, but only a couple of years ago he was one of our best, there is hope for him yet.

fair comment re Wakeham. But our pack is yet to prove it is good. It got out muscled by Titans and was about evenly matched with an undermanned Knights and understrengthed Dogs

Our pack has given us ample opportunities every game. We should have won 2/3 with the work our pack has done.

agree with the ample opportunities and that we should be 2/3 given those opportunities but stand by out muscled by Titans and was about evenly matched with an undermanned Knights and understrength Dogs. Not a sign of a 'good' pack.

If we should be 2/3 and our pack gave us enough opportunities to win most of our games so far, I'd consider that very good. The attack is diabolical.

It was the Titans poor discipline that saw us dominate possession and territory. Titans still easily outperformed us in metres per run, PCMs and play the ball speed, all the stats that indicate who is winning the physical battle. Knights and Dogs were about even. Neither are likely to be top 8 sides and both down on troops. Not sure how you equate that to very good. The attack being diabolical is a seperate matter to the pack not (yet at least) proving their worth.
