OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

It was an interesting interview, it seems quite clear he’s unhappy about something.
NRL 360 mentioned our 1 year offer is likely well short of his expectations, but I get the impression it’s more than just that.
I would think a 1 year deal would work well for WT. It’s not like we have no spots like last year.

Moses is probably pushing for top dollar though.
 
get rid of the mug...

Reporter..."would you like to stay here?'
Doueihi " we'll see what happens".
Reporter..."would you like to be given the chance to repay them?"
Doueihi ''we'll see what happens".

To me that sounds like he wont be here and he knows it ,
hence why he went out and joined the Isuuk Mushrooms stable.

He really hasnt done nothing special these last couple of years anyway , and now that
its contract year he's pulled up his socks and shown a little to get a contract.
Might be a case of too little too late.

Might be a case if too little too late.
We have all heard the saying “Not enough mirrors in the dressing room”.
When we had Galvin , Douehi and Luai all in the same team, that might have been the case.

Drop him.
 
Didn’t seem happy in the interview today. Would really like to see him nail the lock spot. I’ve thought he could do well there for a long time. Big body and straightens the attack. Question mark has always been if he can handle the defence and hogging the ball, but he’s really improved that aspect of his game this year. Gives us an extra kicking option and his bombs have been effective in the past.

He’s a competitor and has a bit of an ego about him, but he really stepped up our attack on the weekend.

I’d like to see him retained. Has a lot of utility value, just needs consistency.
 
It can’t be ignored that for all of the players who love Benji, there’s nearly an equal amount that seem to not want a bar of him. AD is no loss, but you can seemingly add him to the pile.
 
Agree with those who’ve picked up on ADs interview. He wasn’t too happy and seemed to know more about his future than he let on. The mere fact he’s engaged Moses says to me that he’s looking elsewhere. I don’t expect him to be here next year.
As much as he offers something in attack at 13, i can’t see him being reliable in D over 80 mins in the middle.

Agree, a player signs with IM, then he’s going to a new club. That’s the way it works.
 
I think he mentioned “you’ll have to talk to The big boss Richo about that” or words to that affect when first asked about his future.
My impression is that he wants to stay - for the right price. I took away that he felt he was being lowballed in relation to what he believes is his rightful value and is genuinely annoyed.
If he nails the 13 spot over the coming weeks, I’d be happy for him to stay and be a mid tier player for us in terms of contract value.
 
imo he does care about the club but has no consistency on the field.
His biggest issue for me is he seldom has any urgency to chase
Reminds me of someone I used to work with “it’s not my job to clean up “ so would prefer to walk through crap

No mirrors required at all on the forwards side of the dressing room! 🤣 🤣 🤣
 
AD our best player the last 3 weeks but everyone wants to get rid of him instead of the 29 others in the top 30.
Makes sense on here. 🤣
I like AD & agree that he has been good for the last few games. Maybe he thought he better pull his finger out & strengthen his upcoming contract negotiations ?? He was very non committal in his tv interview last night - to the point of refusing to answer if he was happy to remain with the WT's . I didn't like the vibe he was putting out at all & actually found it a bit disrespectful to a club that has backed him through his various injuries/recoveries etc over the years.
 
I haven’t really watched Wigan play aside from a few highlights.
Do you think Kade Ellis could play this role reasonably well for us ?
A few things I’ve heard makes me think he could be open to an earlier than expected return to Australia should an opportunity arise.
100% he can - he has been awesome for Wigan but he is playing in a system which allows him to perform but he has been impressive with his growth as a player for Wigan.

To be fair it’s not up to him.
He’s had plenty of interviews where he’s been happy with the club and Benji.
Now it’s up to the club if they want him and how much they will pay… and for him to accept or look elsewhere.
 
He has shown a lot of improvement this season under difficult circumstances being moved around … curious to see how he goes at 13… I still think there isn’t much hope he is back next season ..
