Adam Doueihi #227

[Chunk]

You also cant unlearn entitlement and selfishness

Yes true but I really hope that he does learn something out of all of this because its our/my Wests Tigers that needs to reap the benefits of a firing AD

I would be very happy if the club let AD move on and we buy volkman

Well.if he swallowed some pride, got some humility he could be an asset and a real team.player but i dont see it.
He talks.the talk...thats all

We need a six or a seven that has a kicking game. Maden is about 20m short of a decent kicking game and lacks the variation in the type of kicks he uses. Although it is nice to have a seven that feeds his outside backs rather than crabs across the paddock. Great win today, but our team still needs plenty of reinforcements for next year to be competitive over the full season

Agreed, though I thought his kicking was no less effective than the repetetive longer bombs of the previous several games, with the stab kick for himself with Herbert to nail them deep in the corner as perfect for that period of the match. Halting their momentum and the kick of the match.

Pretty telling we now get a win

I guess with any kicking game it is as good as the kick chase. Yes I agree the old kick and pray tactics we have been using for the bulk of the season has failed big time. I just think with a quality kicking game with a good chase you can strangle a team out of the contest by continuing to win field position.

AD has a big boot, but he doesn’t seem to have a plan to kick for corners rather he just kicks and hopes

 

[NT_Tiger]

The thing with AD though is he has the skills and talent, more then any of our other halves

If he can learn to play more of a 'team' role then he could become very good.

You can learn that but you can't learn talent

Yes he has skills, but he is not a half. Desire is not enough, especially for WT. We need a half and he isnt it.

Team first.

If it suits me at the time. 🤣

 

[hank37w]

Just don’t tell me Madden is our 7 going forward !

Agree, shit kicking game as well but I think Jock and the last 15 years are proof that Doueihi is not a half back and that one of the key elements that have been missing all this time is a half back.

Spot on he has a big boot but absolutely no control or accuracy. Jock has produced much better general kicking games than yesterday in both depth and accuracy. With the way his goal kicking was affected as well I am left wondering if he is still hampered a bit by the nut injury.

Agree, and early in the season when Jock was playing and we were winning some games, we were rolling forward and putting him in a position where he was kicking from much closer in and it looked like he had a good kicking game.

Doueihi was there to look after the longer kicks when required, unfortunately a good long kicking game is just one more thing that Jock does not possess.

 

[hank37w]

Fair enough, I get what you mean but this is just one of those differences of opinion, I've seen him throw quite a number of good balls. Consistency is needed of course.

I've seen him throw a few into row 5 as well, that is when he has actually decided to pass.
