I've been pretty critical of Doueihi in the past. I've cited a lot of similar issues Jolls has and used to get frustrated when praise was heaped Doueihi by fans and commentators alike who'd often label him our sides best player.
Additionally I put little to no credence in some of the reasons people are putting forth for why we must keep him; "loves the club", "local junior" and "leadership". For various reasons I think these things are a load of crap.
But, he has been pretty good this year. He can cover multiple positions to an NRL standard including spine positions. Offers a skill set that few else seem to have in our side long kicking and goal kicking. And as much as I don't rate him at all as a leader he is an experienced player and a communicator.
He is comfortably worth the 500K.
