Adam Doueihi #227

[Tom Shines]

Gross over reaction by both parties,but ridiculous that the coach has let it escalate to this publicly

The coach gets to pick the side he wants… guess I’m old school… player walks out I would say keep walking

 

[Tcat]

I'm filthy at Douehi. Yep get the the disappointment but is he a man or a child? Don't point fingers at others and then put yourself before the team.
Players in every club have committed elsewhere and have not been moved out of their position by coaches or have their commitment to their current team questioned.
It's a professional sport act like a professional or go captain/ coach park footy.if you want to own a position.

Admittedly AD isn't hasn't been the problem with our club up until now. But when you're a part of busted assed team, you let the coach make whatever changes need to be made. It's not like Benji is messing with a winning formula. AD needs a good kick up the ass for carrying on like a fool. He's probably trying to create an untenable position with WTs and go to the Dogs.

If he was making the hard decision he would have dropped luai

Benji has made it clear he wants to win games.

If you drop Luai to cup, who do you bring in that can add more value?

The strategy was to have 3 play makers. Benji did this last week with latu and we looked the best we had in weeks.

That is the coaches call. I like it. Matty Johns on SEN said he liked it.

No coach could anticipate a 27 year old earning tens of thousands of dollars a game, going home in tears over a jersey number.

luai is the perfect halves partner for Andrews, 4 time premiership winner and state if origin player

 

[TYGA]

Luai and AD will free up a lot of cap space one would suggest. Running with Latu and Andrews is a massive gamble.

that is why we now need to go after humphries and have madden as back up aswell

Ypu miss the point. He had to make a hard decision and made it - that's what we need him to do. AD or Luai is opiniion based - none of us were there. In my opinion it was the right call, in others Luai should have been moved. Our opinions don't matter - the coaching staff needed to make a hard call and they did. We should be happy that he has the courage to do so instead of crying about the outcome.

Plain stooped
Very poorly handled.. yet again
Latu and Anrews takes us back to Brooks and Moses..two rookies just don't work in these kept positions
AD to centre may have been more palatable
Fact that it was a surprise to AD is a surprise in itself

 

[Tcat]

Best of luck Adam Doohie at your new club in 2027 and beyond.

Hard to see any other outcome from this

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

AD probably to dogs

 

[Tom Shines]

AD probably to dogs

Nah ..Perth

 

[craigtob]

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

Well it sure was not lock that’s for sure.
Your point is even stranger!!
Would have been a reserve for the backs at least.

 

[LukeyTuiaki]

Regardless of what transpired today, in this modern time when an employee asks for time off - management has no other response but to grant it. The most troubling issue is how the whole story with official quotes and specific details was so neatly presented for the leeg world to digest and pick apart and mock. So very disappointing, from all angles.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Nah ..Perth

Perth probably offer good cash

just think dogs can feed his ego and say with you adam we can partner well with galvin.

 

[Bones]

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.

Because he’s a bog average halfback. You could die of old age waiting for him to pass the ball.

He only would have got a look in for NSW as a utility, which he apparently doesn’t want to be so he wouldn’t have played anyway.

This is dead set Glen Morrison/ Ben Teo level and I honestly can’t believe anyone could stick up for him.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Teo was the king of dog efforts
Morrison never played for wests tigers.

 

[weststigers]

Well it sure was not lock that’s for sure.

Don't get upset mate.

He would have been a utility to cover hlaves, lock and centre.

 

[weststigers]

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

Jason Andrews sounds good. Is he better than Javon?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Jason Andrews sounds good. Is he better than Javon?

lol
better than Douhie that is all that matters

 

[liltiger]

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

True, looking how theyre performing though they might not like the fact being senior players theyre finally being held accountable.
