Send him a respectful email detailing your concerns.
I shudder to think of when he is booed - with moses in his corner .They couldn't stoop so low

I have enjoyed plenty of former rep footballers in the media talking about Doheey being a nobody in the game. Guys ego is so inflated by being at such a shit club. Wouldnt even be anywhere near other teams top half of their squad, apparently in this club he can walk on water.
All his clients think they’re future immortals mate, we need to tell them to go look in someone else’s mirror.

Saw he was selected today and was just so disappointed.
Until today I was actually fine with Benji, but this is up there with the worst selections I've ever seen and on the surface looks either incredibly suspicious, spineless, or both.
There's obviously a lot more to this than meets the eye, but without any explanation from the club how and why are we fans supposed to keep even caring?

It’s been sickening. Douhie sacrificing himself to raise issues for the greater good of the club. Please.
I agree with you to a point...and there will have been things said and done since last thur and post today team selection none of us will be privvy to.
There is weak possibilities all over this...Benjis supposed early season standards and with Douehis camps leaks undermining this with his claims
Weak- Douehi himself refusing to play due to MH then remarkably fine to play this week after a meeting with his agent present...all supposedly over a team selection disagreement- please
Weak- The position Benji now finds himself in....rightly or wrongly.. due to apparent inaction over an act that is just not on in team sport...letting your mates down.
It all paints the club as weak which it is, and our results show that
I know we are very light on in the halves right now, Madden injured Latu suspended Andrews not ready yet...i get that .
Marshall and.Douehi press conference tomorrow, many will say it will be interesting...im sure it will be predictable

Dude had swollen lips and scuffed-up knees. Whatever assignment he was on, it clearly wasn't covering footy.
When I was 15 I was a B team player and not great. Our A team suffered a lot injuries and so one game they put me on the bench. I was a hooker/lock, and the coach told me I had to go on at prop as we had lost 4 forwards to injury that game. I was terrified and knew I didn’t belong but I went on and got smashed for 30 straight minutes. I did it because you never leave your teammates stranded. I felt so much pride to wear that jersey and be one of the boys.
That exact spirit is why I love rugby league, and it's why I’ve stayed loyal to the Tigers through years of misery.
So seeing a professional like Doueihi sit back and refuse to play when his team needed him doesn't just frustrate me as a fan, it breaks my heart. If a scared kid can do what the coach asks for his team, a professional earning a living in the NRL has no excuse when the team was down bad.
Welcoming him back so easily shows the club administration doesn't understand basic Tigers culture. For us, the jersey means never giving up on your team despite the years of bad performance. Reinstating him just tells fans our loyalty is for nothing.

AD has been our best player all year and having him in the side is common sense. I would have played him in reserve grade last week and likely for the rest of the season.
Now we pick him at halfback. In isolation it makes sense however, what kind of message are we sending.
It’s got to the point no club will take Douihei after this and he’s under contract. Perhaps this is what the club is doing salvaging the relationship as we are stuck with him. Perhaps he regrets the dummy spit but why leak info about the internals at the club.
We are in the dark on most of what has happened but it’s puzzling to say the least.

Yeah, little problem with the returning Doueihi apologising for his words and/or actions on the day, before shaking hands and putting it behind them. However, leaking or allowing your representatives to push a narrative to the media for a week or so is another story altogether.
Disappointed that Benji didn't force the issue by naming him at lock.

Paul Kent seems to know a lot about what went on in the meeting. Speaks matter of factly about it.
To be honest i would not be shocked to find out Benji was DIRECTED to pick AD at 7,naturally i have no evidence to support this but it would be the sort of thing i expect from our board.
That thought crossed my mind as well
Who’s holding him to account if he’s just making stuff up. Is it even a paid gig?

So seems like:
1. Benji didn't think AD would get off so promised Javon a debut and trained with him there.
2. AD won the case and wanted to be halfback but Benji picked Javon over what's better for the team. Wrong decision.
3. AD overreacted and said he wont play. Even worse decision.
4. Benji understands AD is best at halfback for us so put him there this week.
A shitshow and I doubt AD ever really comes back from this but let's move forward.
Happy for them to keep it all indoors and deal with it in off-season.

Between 3 & 4 the AD camp again disrespected Benji and the club very publicly. That’s why him being named this week seems weak as puss.
Douehi will.forever be remembered for this by all in rugby league circles.
Ryan Matterson chose to sit out games, let his team mates and fans down rather than pay a fine...he'll never live that down.
What Douehis done is 100 times worse

He slapped down the mental health card - puts the club in an awkward position .Karma is coming for him
