OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

As much as we love AD and I'm a big fan Richo has done an excellent job extending him on the reported 400k for 2 years.

Other CEO's would have offered more but he knew we have quite a few halves and need the money for other players.

Just smart business and I hope he stays in the halves this year and Latu can do 14 /13 the remaining 4 games to get game exposure.

over the off season Benji can train AD for 13 etc..

Clearly I don’t agree.
Luai has been phoning it in most of the year.
He talks a big game off field then does little on it. The bloke couldn’t organise a root in a brothel so he’s the sticking point…we have one half and supposed leader who is not living up to his promise and enormous price tag and we are baulking at offering a bloke who is displaying more in both areas the opportunity to earn a third of that salary.
It appears once again we will let a non PI walk away. You need a balanced squad. Hive minds do not work.

So you ready to drop this rubbish about non PI players now? especially because AD literally said Benji is a big reason why he stayed.

With matching Saints offer just to retain Doueihi?

Circumstances have proven that the clowns saying we needed to increase our offer to match the Dragons - were ignorant- reactive and wrong!

He didn't stay for less due to loyalty either way he now spins it - it is for a familiar security blanket and soft-hand that he would not have at the Dragons!

And being a live-at-home kidult from a wealthy family - with no partner or kids - he can financially afford the $100-150K offset compared to the commutes to Wollongong for training...

This is a win for sanity as the squad develops - and Adam will face increasing pressure to hold any of the stop-gap positions he currently fills!

The most significant takeaway for the Doueihi fans is that zero other NRL clubs showed any interest - even with Moses seeking offers on his behalf....

We could have kept him for even less - if Flanno hadn't stalked him.

Flanno also just got a further 2 years for achieving nothing and never getting his recruitment targets over the line - while the dopes here are calling for Benji's head when he started from a much lower base.

YES - 100%

And many here also wanted us to outbid Saints - let alone match their over-inflated offer!

It was a 2-horse race!

NIL other NRL teams wanted anything to doohey with Doueihi!

He's been a free-agent for 2026 since 1st November 2024 FFS!

Get that into your thick skulls!

Do you think we should drop him for the Sea Eagles game, or keep him at 7 and see how he goes ?

No - I wouldn't change a winning team.

And Latu will be best utilised off the bench against his forrmer teammates.

The following week is another matter - but that's in Adam's hands too

You may be only as good as your last game - but for observers recency bias is not your friend!

The broader sample size depicts reality!

I don't think even you wanted him to stay at 7 after the Parra debacle..... try to enhance your neuroplasticity

Yes thank god you come to your senses and give Douehi your man of the match last weekend.

He was top 3 - best game I've seen from him.

BUT - just as many flaws and forgettable moments as the big ones that fell in his lap!
