OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

[upthetigers]

AD needs to be team first but I think Benji made the wrong call here.

Luai should be dropped/moved before AD.

 

[Chunk]

Its a team sport.

It shouldnt matter if he was told 2 weeks in advance or 5 mins before kick off.

For all that Galvin did, he never let his team mates down and refused to play.

Yeah AD should play where he is told.

But surely there is a process that should be followed when there are 'delicate' team decisions?

I'm not sure of the processes at the club or any first grade club but is this how Bennett would have handled the situation, tell someone on the Thursday they are playing out of position?

Did AD know early in the week? If not, he should have?

Adam has pushed me over the edge to a pfp change. When we run out of water on the earth because of AI usage, blame Adam because it took a lot for this pfp of javon

 

[weststigerman]

On the surface it looks like AD is being a child, but Benji seems to be developing a pattern of upsetting senior players.

 

[Illek]

Pass to who Toa, Makasini, Herbert, May- all island bros.
AD runs rings around them mentally so he’s taken on too much, but tell me Luais a better option - forget it. Luai checked out the moment he got on the plane to PNG.

You do realize Polynesians make up a majority percentage of the nrl because they are physically/athletically perfect for the rugby.

Samoans make up a disproportionate amount of NFL players for the population base. Not their fault they are great at physical contact sports. Get your racist views out of here.

A pattern?

 

[Jolls]

He's certainly no worse then everyone else. Luai should be gone before AD

Each to their own perspective, but certainly not how I have seen the last few weeks.

I'm sure there is another side to ADs story. Whether it's fair or not is another story.

I don't think Benji has upset any players other than John Bateman? Klemmer was fine, Brooks was fine, never had issues with Luau, Api, Turuva, Twal etc.

Galvin not really a senior player if that's who you are referring to

How did the media get a hold of this?...who leaked it?

 

[Jolls]

Really the blokes just come back from injury, maybe he is still playing injured to help the team . Thats not the point , this is benjis problem , he is just been weak, luai should be dumbed

Not if Luai at 6 is, in the opinion of the coaching staff, the best for the team. It would have taken a lot of moral courage to put AD on the spot. Give the coachign staff credit for making hard decisions. One minute they are too soft and not making changes and the enxt they are being hauled over the coals for doing so.

Right or wrong, the moral courage shown to sit AD down, is what we need from the coaching staff. Was it the hard right decision or ust a hard decsion? I guess we will fidn out on Saturday at 1500.

Silly question
Why does A.D. have to play lock.
Would have been selected in the NSW team if he wasn’t injured, and now he has to play lock……please.
Very disappointing all round.

Can you list some names and examples please

 

[weststigers]

Showing once again he's not a team player, half or nothing it's just rubbish, couldn't care less if he's shafted, he was only filling in until the younger players are up to it anyway.

If he leaves, it answers our halves problem for next year...still got hopes for Schuster too...hopefully he doesn't bail if asked to play 13

 

[weststigers]

How did the media get a hold of this?...who leaked it?

Bloody good question

 

[Merlot]

If the club stay true to form , and spoil the brat as they did through his years of rehab - i'd expect a masseur there for Adam and his ego ,while he gets over himself this weekend

 

[weststigerman]

A pattern?

Remember Bateman accusing him of favouring young players over more senior players?

He certainly wasn't going to be selected for NSW at half so strange point to make

Bateman, Nofa and I don’t think it ended well with Klemmer either.

Benji’s made the right decision in those scenarios but there may be an issue with how he communicated the decision.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

And yet JL stays in his favoured position but AD doesn’t.
Luai is a good tackler and looks a potentia L lock to me ?
Why not swap Douehi and Luai.
And Douehis been a shining light earlier this year, without a lot of help.

yes let's move a state of origin and 4 time premiership winner from 6
Jason Andrews is the future 6
AD plays where he is told to play fir the benefit of the team
