Why shouldn't Javon have been named?
We have had the most putrid attack in the NRL, only 22 points in the last 4 rounds total. An amazing 5.5 points per game. Doueihi acting like he is prime Andrew Johns getting asked to play hooker. Doueihi had the most touches of the ball last week for 0 points.
So, the coach does what any coach with half a brain with an out of finals contention squad would do. Blood a promising prospect, a prospect who is leading NSW cup in try assists and line break assists by significant margins.
He tries to fix our attack by having a better passer on the field and giving Doueihi a role that suits his strength of running the ball, overall giving us more options to score some points.
The arrogance of Doueihi to think that his performance over the last few weeks warrants no review, that the tactics need no adjustments and that he is untouchable blows my mind. He had a purple patch to start the season but has been a very below average half since returning.
I think Benji made the right decision, I am ecstatic to see Javon picked and I think Doueihi should go down to NSW cup and see if he can outperform Javon's production.
