Adam Doueihi #227

If he is named at 7 this week in FG this week then all hell will break loose on here because AD deserves nothing more than contempt from me and i am sure many others.
It will be the end of Benji if he picks him at 7 this week, the start of his demise. How can any other player buy into “team first” mentality if Adam sooks it up then gets put straight back to 7.
 
Clubs gunna try and pretend none of this ever happened

Weak.as.pee
Your comment is interesting - I am reading all these comments but I don't have a huge emotional reaction to this Doueihi situation. I don't think there is a clearly right or wrong way to handle what AD has done. I personally think AD has handled it poorly but I don't think there's a simple solution for the club - the next steps all have pros and cons.

For example if Benji names him in the side this afternoon it almost looks like capitulation. The Blake Austin video you posted was bang on. If he makes an example of AD and puts him in reserve grade, it makes the line in the sand clear but the team's already hugely underperforming, I worry it's just flogging a 2026 dead horse.

I don't think it's necessarily weak or wrong to try and move on. It's possible that AD had a strongly emotional response to the situation and it's possible he said some things that are fair. Without being there it's hard to speculate.
 
Another perspective is; If Benji plays him at seven, does that imply that Douehi has some kind of dirt in Benji or the club that they want to bury?

Nothing wrong with having a strong opinion and being deeply unhappy about things at the club, but he didn't just walk out on his team, he leaked a bunch of dirty laundry to the media and threw Benji and the club and his teammates under the bus.

Benji was very diplomatic publicly and protected Adam - Adam has shat all over that.

The only response is to drop him for walking out. It's not how you handle things. regarding Adams grievances, the door is open to discuss any time he likes with or without his manager.
 
All we know for relative fact is

Douhie was selected to play lock off the bench

Douhie left the talk with Benji and refused to play (not in the right frame of mind - reminds me of the Mitchell Moses /Galvin mental state play by I Moses previously)

Douhie got Moses on board

There was a meeting on Monday and Douhie was back at training

Everything else is unsubstantiated media dribble

Based on this and the Douhie supportive media dribble, Douhie can’t remain at the tigers and should have been sanctioned and or terminated immediately
 
nitpicking I know... but if this is the level of intensity we train at, then the on-field performances explain themselves.

Glad to know it’s “all smiles” while the fans sit through yet another season of total embarrassment.
