OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

[HUNT 101]

Yea, but the board will only bother them if their Managers OR the coach is effected.

Maybe Richo's sacking may effect them. I kinda doubt it.

Management research says this:
employees care about their Immeadiate boss the most.
Not the GM, not the next guy down. Their boss.

A good coach will keep the players thinking about footy, the board won't mean anything to them.

Yep I agree, the coaching staff will have the playing group balls deep training the house down in a bubble, 100% footy talk and leave the office to the office. Minimal distraction .🐯☝️

Dont get me wrong...theres been more rhan enough time btween the HB stuff and now/seasons beginning for it to.be put right away
Im just highliting the players DO KNOW when this crap occurs as some here reckon they wouldnt have a clue and it shouldnt be a factor
Just glad it wasnt 6 weeks into season 26 when it blew up

Fair points InnsaneInk.

Other then Bula not resigning yet, no one has left. But I hope they will still put 100% effort in come preseason and February.

start with May and Twal and then bring on Bunty
we look good up front.

AD as a 13 in attack can be the yeoh type of role and push luai and Latu Fainu that bit wider

Agree. Twal is not the guy you want on the park in the last 20min regardless of the scoreline.

As long we keep players like Twal or Seyfarth, we cannot be considered as a competitive team!

Adam and Jarome combined brilliantly in the back end of last year, the Titans and Dogs games were standouts. Adam has proven he can create something out of nothing, so the combination makes sense while Latu is recovering from surgery.

But what happens with Latu once he’s back from the reco, and where does Jock fit into the mix?

I think Adam starts the season in the halves and then shifts to lock mid season. He’s big, creative, and hard to handle, he could own the ruck in a similar way to how Yeo does.

 

[Tiger Tarl]

I agree. My gut is that Twal will start the game at lock for 20/25 mins to sure up the middle defensively until the sting is out of the collisions a bit then Latu will come on with Doueihi shifting to a ballplaying lock with ostensibly two 5/8s either side of the ruck. Lots of attacking creativity this way, just hope defence is sound.

Bula has neither re-signed nor resigned.

Only problem is pre season training into the season kick off with one combination, to then reshuffle when Latu is back might be a problem, if the combination of AD and money man change nothing and Latu earns a seat on the bench.Jock dunno ? back up 9

 

[twentyforty]

Adam is our best option at 7. Latu will struggle to unseat him imho.
I hope Benji has a pick n stick mentality so that the team can build on its teamwork. This is a make or break season for Benji, with the team starting to gel and rule changes allowing for more innovation from coaches.
A very interesting season ahead.

 

[Merlot]

Would have preferred Latu starting the year at 1/2.
ADs actions almost caught up to his self-appraisal last year, Got to give him credit for that.
Hoping Madden will impress Bengie, bit more ying n yang -Madden Luia
Opposed to AD Luia ,as long as we are winning ,no need to fix it

That's nearly Top Gun territory. Egos writing checks that bodies can't cash etc.... but the Credit is due, he's a first grade halfback.

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Doueihi will get injured at some point. Then it will be Latu's time to shine.

was for 6 games at least. If he has mind over matter and gets over all his setbacks/injuries and performs above his normal standard
,he is a stronger person than most in here

Doueihi will get injured at some point. Then it will be Latu's time to shine.

He’ll already be in the rehab room.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Have watched Latu alot before he joined and just not convinced he is a 7. His best position is where Luai plays as a left edge controller. He doesn’t have a great kicking game and isn’t a big organizer whilst also struggles to rove around the park. Latu is one heck of a talent, will only grow and is a game changer but not as convinced as others are on him at halfback.

So you're saying we have 20 rounds of Jock Madden to look forward to. Great...

[Merlot]

This is why we need a hybrid 7/13 as opposed to trying to change his natural talents in the short term. Let him develop naturally and move him as required. No need to stifle his development by shoehorning into the conventional 7 position. Put the 7 on his back but develop our play around the assets we have - imagine how dangerous our attack could be if we didn't try to play the way other teams do but play wohat works for us.
