OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

[batboy]

I don't see the point of laying blame at the feet of the backs
If your backs are given poor service, lack of direction, no inventive plays then you aint gonna get much from them

Have you seen how much attacking ball they've put down this year....

 

[Tiga]

I don't think the forwards are going as well as people are indicating....
I still think we're soft in the middle and mistake ridden on the edges
(Not mentioning the penalties we're giving away)

The backs are an issue - And we're not getting much in metres from our back 5 coming out of the red...
(Which would also help the forwards)

The whole spine has been below it's best, And that's the problem - They need 80% games to compete....
Not 40-50% games....

I don't think we're done, I also never thought we'd be a top 8 side this year....
If we're not showing something by mid way I'll be concerned...

0-5 heading for 0-6 and you're not concerned???

What side doesn't?
You give poor service and expect results?

I'm not blaming the backs.

Blaming the spine.

Ongoing problems that should've and could've been addressed already.

Like I've said NO other club would tolerate a (soon to be) 0-6 start to the season
Sack the fckn coach for f__ks sake!!!

we all go on about wanting new players but in reality we don’t do enough to help the players we have. There is no denying adam doughi is a relented rugby league player but for some reason he has not reached his potential here this is the folt of the club
So we say move him on. Then we get the next bloke in and he fails then we just go through the hole thing again. This is a huge problem at our club we consistently take good young players and turn them into nothing it sucks and I’m sick of it

 

[Buttface]

Yeah man and its not a new issue either...
Well maybe it is to the coaching staff.

Lack of speed in the backline has been an issue for years so play our slowest player at fullback.

Most have played enough fantasy football or rugby league live career mode to know how to put together a team better than these guys.

It’s like our team plays in slow motion when watching against a speedy back line.

What we on this forum have to realise is we have power
Admin coaches aren't the life blood that keeps a club going
We are!
Without fans ya got nothing
Organise ourselves to one voice...and that's gonna be a fkn loud voice!
Petition, mass emails, publicity, connections & whatever else we can think of to get our message across to the club.
They might not have to be accountable to us but we can certainly give them something to think hard about!

 

[liltiger]

More reasoning...

The halves can't perform because we don't have the forwards to lay the platform


Now the backs don't get the service to showcase because the halves are not good enough.

This club man....

It's the epitome of the problem, excuses. We make excuses for everything the playing group does, the coaches do, the board and ceo do. We just make excuses and keep moving on.

When there's no accountability excuses are sufficient.

1 through to 7 need an upgrade. Not discounting your comments on service from the halves, but I have not seen our 5 to 1 threaten an opposition line, not on kick returns, hit ups or in broken play. The positioning in defence is bad as is their communication, while in attack I agree that direction is an issue that the halves need to fix but imo we present a flat backline and they are often poorly positioned as well. Backs need room to move and should present a little deeper.

Naden and stains are the only ones that appear to have pace.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

If Douhei and Brooks are picked tonight then Tim Sheens is insane or These 2 are blackmailing him!! They have lost 5 straight with Douhei playing in a TUXEDO he cannot get dirty and he is rewarded by being 5/8 ?? Give Will Smith a Run FFS !! 10 years of terrible Brooks incompetence and he never EVER agents dropped??? WHAt Is GOING ON?? 🤬🤯😡😤

Team is already out

And yes Brooks and Doueihi are both named in the halves

 

[Harvey]

Reward someone who has had a dummy spit and turned it up for the last fortnight by moving them back to their preferred position.

Coach and halfback are the biggest most urgent issues and I can't see fixing anything else to be as effective if these aren't fixed first.
You don't think Laurie has pace?

 

[king_sirro]

I don't think anyone has been more critical of Adam than myself, but happy with his effort today. Let's hope it isn't his ACL, but doesn't look good.

 

[earl]

He had a good game and then that injury. Feel for the guy.

 

[rozelle_rudy]

Adam has had terrible luck with knee injuries.
Today yet another season ending ACL injury after he did in 2021 and missed half of 2022.

The club extended his contract by one year to the end of 2024.

Is he too risky to keep on after that? Have his performances justified it?

And who will be the halves now? Bring Wakeham back?

 

[king_sirro]

His best game in a long time today. Put his body on the line, played simple in attack, ran the ball and kicked well. Fingers crossed the initial diagnosis is wrong.

 

[oldschooltiger]

Daniel Laurie will he be the new number 6
