Adam Doueihi #227

I don’t agree with AD being selected at lock.
Personally I’d have selected him in the centers and not pick Herbert but at the end of the day the coach makes the call. If the results don’t go our way he will pay the price.

The only person we have evidence of doing anything disrespectful is Adam by walking out on his team and coach when they need him.
So you think selecting a bloke who talked a big game, delivered nothing and is now leaving the club ahead of a long time loyal local junior who is the ONLY player to score or assist in scoring any points for the team over the past month is a good idea?
We will see further evidence of this on Saturday afternoon.
 
Nobody else has contributed to a try for us over the past month.
So if Doueihi is the problem, what are all the others doing?
He has been good this year but he is far from a thinking man’s halfback.

He is not a half, he is a strong ball carrier but can only pass one way, if he actually decides to pass.

He is part of the reason we have only scored 4 tries in 4 games.
 
Benji belatedly admitted his long damaging sunk cost fallacy since his off-season thinking that Doueihi could actually be a full-time half, and the player couldn't accept it, again.

The again bit is the biggest issue, and displays the arrogance of a player that generally only shines as an individual, and is unable to recognise that it so often comes at the expense of the team.
 
He should have dropped Luai yes. It Luai and Douehi don't work. Every time they have played this year it hasn't clicked. Coming of a no try game as a coach I would be changing it up.
Benji’s job is to win each week.

Only one of our halves is batting at 80% over the last 5 years.

Yes he has been part of the problem, but a far less part than Luai who keeps getting selected despite him heading elsewhere as of next season.
A far less problem than the ridiculous team selections and interchange use we constantly see from Benji.
 
Are you suggesting we bring back Balmain and play all games at Leichhardt?
No.
As good as the team play at Leichhardt Oval which is largely based on parochial home ground support that actually allows a few calls to go our way, why would you or any Wests Tigers supporter want tj turn you back on the South-West region?

So you think that being a local junior gives him the authority/ right to dictate to the coach where he is prepared to play and where he is not? Just Benji or any coach?
Not in any club anywhere would this be considered acceptable.

You’re missing the point. It’s not an issue about selection. I understand that in your opinion Luai should be dropped, but I don’t agree and that’s fine, I don’t need to change your opinion. It is my opinion that any player who wants to dictate team selections to the coach should no longer be part of that team. I don’t care if it’s NRL or under 10s and if it’s the best player or worst.
