Adam Doueihi #227

Good on you WTs. About time we have something positive happening at our club. Even better we beat the Roosters.
 
Righto so it’s time to eat humble pie. I have criticised our recruitment for years - and for good reason.

But all that is done. Well done WestsTigers!! Recruitment this year has been superb.

No more cynical swipes at our recruitment team.

Welcome Doueihi! Good luck

Next!

Nothing makes me happier than beating the Rorters to a signing
 
Welcome home AD. Will be very interested to see how he plays this year. All of a sudden things are looking up for this club. Up the Tigers!

We get Doueihi and Leilua for the price of Latrell

I am very happy

My sentiments entirely! We not only got two well-credentialed players, but they may persistently put in good efforts, as well. I think LM might not be the best team-contributor in all his games.
 
Great work by our guys to finally close this deal in the face of a nasty disinformation campaign run by certain bottom feeding NRL media with their own agendas.

There’s a pic of him posing in our jersey, but he’s not smiling. Not a good sign 😖

Probably doesn’t want to be here, like everyone else
 
Good signing on paper hopefully he can deliver on the field, i like where our recruitment is heading been quite shrewd Hartigan doing some good stuff. Solves a lot of our issues, can pass, kick, goal kick and has height.

The Doueihi family questioning how appreciated he'd be at WTs, HA I hope they arent for real. If they think the Roosters care about him then they are as thick as planks. The Roosters will wipe him as soon as Billy Smith returns or Xerri signs. He'd be considered an integral part of our team, yet an understudy or back up option at the Roosters. I try not to buy into these articles but when they ?can WTs it revs me up.

A WT trainer told me last week that the players are laughing at Doueihi asking 500k plus and would be filthy if we signed him for that. Opinion at training is we already have at least equal potential already on no where near what he's asking. If he signs for massive overs and we end up pissing off every other young gun we've got we've shot ourselves in the foot (again). He was VERY doubtful Doueihi would sign.


Cant wait to hear what the WT trainer will tell you next week.
 
Does anyone know for sure if the Roosters interest was 100% legit? I’m wondering if they entered the race just to make Souths budge knowing full well they wouldn’t release him to them...

Or maybe I just look at things differently..
 
Good signing if its 1.8 over 4 years, hoping it's worth the investment.
Doueihi, B Leilua, L Leilua, Musgrove and possibly Grant - massive improvement on the 2019 roster
Really looking forward to this season now

Quality interview. Sounds like he values hard work and discipline, happy to be home and excited to work under Madge. Qualities we need. Excited to see him get to work.
 
There is real strategy to our recruitment which is a welcome change. The swap deal for Harry Grant releasing an outside back in Momirovski and overnight signing Douihei makes our team much stronger. It also has a long term succession plan for Benji at 6.

Directly replacing Matterson and Marsters with The Leilua brothers. Replacing Matulino with Musgrove and remaining with 1 spot left and salary cap space is a real good outcome. Promoting youth will be key with Garner, Talau, Mikalele, Twal, Clarke stepping up.

Madge is building this a brick at a time with no shortcuts. Slowly replacing expiring inflated contracts with better younger players is really smart work.

I am far happier with this signing and BJ than i would have been with LM.A good win for us at the right prices


And well done to the club for holding out. Im sure AJ & Gagai would have been shopped to us first.

Certainly would have been.Madge has targeted players well this off season and hopefully that is the end of the rumours involving Aitken as well

Expect the DT to get nasty as they have been kept out of the loop with SMH getting the news first. Already calling him a discard which is just a bitchy spin.
