OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

[Tcat]

since the opening of the $70m Centre of Excellence we’ve collected 2 spoons, a 13th and this season we’re 2nd last and can’t win against the bottom team. I think it’s fair to say that the excellence is going to take a while.

Maybe should've just called it "The Centre"

We should still be able to find it under a new name. It’s the place that had the hair salon and where Benji’s Grand Final win with the Dragons was immortalised on the vestibule wall.

Outside of that trial Makasini hasn’t shown much, think he’s been pretty injured.

But every now and then he gets early ball and shows a glimpse of what he can do, has been stopped right on the line a fair few times.

I’m excited to see him after another pre-season.

Same .. people forget the guy is 18!!! 18 playing against whiton , stagge, Crichton , Gagai, etc and he is improving the very week .. he will only get better

 

[TigerNeddyK]

He’s 18. It’s not beyond the realm of possibility he has a Moses Suli career, never living up to potential. However, the fact we’re not seeing signs of the player he’s been built up to be, outside of steamrolling Edwards in the trial doesn’t mean anything just yet. Very few players his age come into first grade and dominate. Takes a generational talent to do that. Give him two years and he could explode.

Also, he is in a team that is not giving him much opportunity, he is getting some ordinary passes and has pretty much been used as a battering ram/workhorse out of the 20 all year running at a compressed lane of forwards salivating at the chance of putting a shot on the 18 year old upstart .. and he has not shirked it

I can't judge Douehie. He has put up with situations that would break most players - years of almost being the lone decent player trying to carry a team going backwards fast. Most of the good players jumped ship but Douehie went through it all for the club, including dealing with Madge and his tantrums. We saw how weaker personalities like Moses, Teddy and Galvin ran away to easier clubs.

Adam and Api are like a lot of WT fans - staying loyal and gutsy when many lame-arse players and fans of other clubs would have quit. It's a miracle he only had one meltdown. As for Api, his poise under pressure is almost superhuman.

What? Doueihi has onky played decent the past 2 years. He has been bog average before that. Hardly been a lone decent player

Not even a decent player, a 14 at best....

I have little doubt Api & JL will be up for today. AD just needs to control the side and get the ball wide when it’s on.

Please don’t overplay.

 

[mrcasino]

Does anyone know what he said when he scored

 

[king_sirro]

Does anyone know what he said when he scored

Pretty sure he said "see, I am a halfback. Just because i throw the ball over the sideline and basically do nothing a good halfback does, im still a halfback and tucking the ball under my arm and running hard for a try proves it"

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

The only amusing moment of the game was Doueihi carrying on after he scored his try. If I was the chief playmaker for a team averaging under 2 tries a game, I'd keep my head down and shut up. But Doueihi has no self-awareness, like his partner Luai, who inplicitly mocked the team's woeful performance against St George, even though he contributes nothing to the team's attack himself.

Not often you see a post 100% wrong.
You couldn’t do that again if you tried lol….

Should have said get the ball wide and on target when it’s on.

Not seriously having a go mate.
I thought they’d turn up as well.
There’s no hope n the horizon for this joint. They have well and truly given up.
We’ll get lapped by a hungry Dragons outfit after our holiday next week….and then the Roosters will go for the record.

Looks quite toxic there based on a few indicators. Benji tried to pull a reign and got disrespected. Not good.

We had a crack today. 2 points next week. Then an upset over the Rorters.

If he took offence to it - he’s got a short memory…
He did it to most coaches he had here.

Sorry mate someone deleted my real reply.
We’ll just settle for this one….what a load of crap 🤣🤣🤣

 

[Moh]

Looked like he was told to stop hogging.

Then everybody wanted him to hog.

😂

We all know he's not a halfback, but nothing happens without AD.
