Adam Doueihi #227

[pawsandclaws1]

Benji wanted to play with 3 halves. AD would've been defending as a 7. There was to be absolutely no change in his workload.
It was purely an ego driven decision by Adam to abandon his mates.
As a senior member of the team I just find the example that sets to be unforgivable. To disrupt the squad close to a game that could keep the season alive is far worse than anything Galvin ever did.

I don't want to see him wearing the team colours again.

I have lost all respect for him.

While I don't agree with his decision, I understand where it comes from. I've watched Doueihi from when he played SG Ball so I hope he stays at WTs

Senior players ‘angry’ with Benji amid bombshell Doueihi feud

Well I guess that will all come out and we’ll see at that stage if it changes things, but I can’t cop what Doueihi has done. For me 2 non negotiables in any team are do as your coach says and never let your teammates down. He’s done both.

I said at the time Benji should never have been appointed (or Sheens before for that matter). I wouldn’t complain if he was moved on either, but he is the coach now and until he isn’t the players need to fall in line.

This! 💯

 

[Oscar Martinez]

To put Javon in this position is just a dog act by Adam.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Respectfully disagree, AD was in the side that lost to dragons, warriors and dogs. What we need is every player to play the best they can in the position they are asked to play.

Thanks for your reply. There is going to be lots of differing views. Let's hope we can hold it together as supporters.

AD is one of my favourite players but if the team's leadership group has any backbone, they'll be standing up at training this morning and telling the rest of the playing group that AD is gone and for anyone who supports him to stand up and make themselves known.

But to be honest, it might ring a bit hollow if Luai is part of that group?

Douehi hangs with the May brothers and Seyfarth.

 

[Lukic]

I'm not going to give Benji too much credit with the decision he's made since he's done a lot wrong and this could be a fluke, but Luai is definitely the better partner for a young guy in the halves.

Doueihi is an ok player. Was in great form to start the year. But his problem is he's ball dominant and he doesn't make players around him better. It feels like your attack needs to be structured to accomodate him and while he can look, if you shut him down you can look pretty one dimensional. Worked well to start the year as Madden played first receiver, handled the organising and steered us around and let Doueihi just run it. But the reality is having Doueihi in the halves means the team lives and dies by him, and I think our start to the year was more of a fluke than a representation of it being a working system.

Doueihi and Luai don't work. Both are five-eighths. Luai isn't that good, but at least guys on his outside can thrive with him. Samuela and May when healthy were very good and sadly didn't get an extended run with Luai.

If Andrews plays with Doueihi, he's going to exist just to past the ball to Doueihi and be a passenger. Luai will at least let Andrews run the game and show off what he can, whether at first or second receiver.

I'm just trying to think whose Douehis 2 friends are - certainly wouldn't be the edge players outside him saying he needs to play half. Also Douehi doesn't come across as being part of the bro clan. So i'm guessing its Bula and Seyfarth. This sought of crap coming out with quotes without names attached smacks from straight out of the Isaac Moses playbook.

It was hinted at last night on here somewhere its Seyfarth and Twal...this is where the mole got it from im safely assuming

 

[tig_prmz]

I find it BS that his shoulder has been good to play halfback for 4 weeks but can't play 13.

The Mole is flat out for attention 🤣

 

[innsaneink]

Our captain has made a decision to leave. I have no issue with that but the announcement should have occurred at the conclusion of the season. It has impacted team performance.

I am pleased the club is introducing Andrews and congratulate him on his selection. Luai should be the player imo to move aside, perhaps to the bench, to accommodate him. He is not going to be at WTs next year so it is a good chance to see how a new combination works.

Doueihi is one of our best and a local junior. He wears his heart on his sleeve, just like a few other of our past and present players. No NRL player is a sook, and while I don't agree with his action, I understand where it comes from. I hope he plays.

Its been dealt with...you just disagree with the decision...so dont go saying the "biggest issue has not been dealt with"

If that was indeed the case then it would be Benji who is gone .. not AD …

 

[Vicious]

Being frustrated at being dummied to while they run into unmarked space as douhei is wrapped up with the ball I. O e arm and his other arm hanging on by the skin tension only

So we should have been seeing plenty of tries on Luai’s left side of the field, but for 4 straight games we have seen nothing.
Do we know why a couple of games back, Api was nearly always passing the ball to Doueihi and almost ignoring Luai?
I don’t think coaching instructions would have been to exclusively get the ball to Doueihii?

 

[twentyforty]

He hasn’t been playing well since rnd 8 at LO when he scored 2 tries.
We threw our last 3 games, which is so disappointing and very unprofessional.

 

[innsaneink]

I won't change your opinion on a footballing forum but I will add Doueihi imo offers alot more to the team as a centre than Herbert. He's one of the quickest in our team over 100m, as well as bringing height and size to the backline.

Thats nice...but you are ignoring the main point which is AD walking out at training...saying hes not.playing in a.must win game and totally stuffing up a young rookies debut.
Deflecting

Why have you ignored my post where I quoted all your calls to play javon and latu?

Where was douhei going to play when you got your wish?

You got your wish now you are crying

This is so unfair on Javon. I feel bad for the kid. Debuting is hard enough as it is, now he has all sorts of other forces surrounding him with pressure that have nothing to do with him.

Im pretty sure mole got that from here last night
