I was always of the belief that at one stage, I think around the time of his 2nd ACL, that Doueihi was on around $650k, the next 2 one year extensions on considerably less.
No idea what this new 2 year deal is but around $400k give or take a bit seems to be what is being tossed around by most.
Some it would appear are just tossing off. 🤣
He returned to us as a young gun FB, off the back of his rabbits debut filling in very well at FB and into their finals run. (From memory).
He obviously hated those few extra weeks and decided to come here. 😜
He played us and Fruit Pascals against ckickens or dogs and yeah I think we paid 650ish for 3, and we were all aboard the Doobie Express.
A hundred faked injuries, a few real ones, a thousand missed tackles, a few tries, some revised contracts and here we are jumping aboard again.
Seriously though, =\<$400 is a fair deal for both parties and where they are at.
I said a week back I’d be happy with 400ish on 1, so to hear it’s just under at 2 is a great result. We gave a little (extra year), and he gave a little (<$400 and <opposition’s offer).
A long time ago I was told by a very smart negotiator and poker player “
If both parties come away from a negotiation fairly happy, but not giggling, then the correct and fair result was probably achieved”.
I bet Richo has heard that before, whereas Fruit Pascals just learnt something new. 😎
I think this is what’s happened here with Doobs, and although I have been critical, he is my fav player until our next game out of respect for the way he has handled these negotiations. I was a bit concerned when he engaged with Isuk Measles. I thought the circus was about to hit concord again.
Choo Choo, all aboard the Doobie Express!!!
