Doueihi is the WEAKEST LINK

[Telltails]

Weaknesses in players are not so evident when a team is winning. When you are winning people look at the good things a player does in a losing team it's the opposite - ala Brooks.

would AD be able to go to another side and be a better player like
Moses
tedesco
Brooks
blore
talau

I don't believe he would be a better player even if he was in the Manly, storm, Roosters system his defence is terrible

I personally think Doobie would and should go to another/any other side than ours.
Biased opinions aside no, I think we’ve seen his best. Attacking he can be pretty good at best, but he’s still a hog and over rate’s himself. Defence is terrible, and he’s lazy at it. Then when he’s not lazy he runs in and the play runs past him.
I think the fact that he met with rooster robo and came back and signed min wage with us probably answers your question. I reckon the robo meeting was his only one and he got it into the media to help sell himself. He would have been on the blower trying to get a gig like Mark Hamil after Star Wars.

AD and Faatape
Centres who don't pass

Rough watch

attacking wise AD runs strong and has that awkward running style. In a good team they may be able to hide his defensive problems.

What happened to centres putting their winger away?

One winger, to be fair, seemed way out of his depth and shouldn't be sighted again.

The other, in my opinion, seems mismanaged and under utilised.

Of course not.

We will see Stains again this week

We will see Stains again this week

Staines has been solid this year.

Just wish we played to his strengths more.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

He needs to be moved to lock. Less defensive decisions and harder to avoid contact.

He can also hold the ball all to himself while doing some dirty hit ups

Heck no. If he is at lock we will be carved up the middle every game especially if his mouth guard falls out.

He gives his best …i would prefer someone else … but they aren’t going to be turning over half he team it appears … bigger problems to solve

Made a suggestion in the signings thread...

I'd be calling Taylan May & Reimis Smith.

Not fussed on Olam, long term.
Would be happy with a backline of;

1. Jahream Bula
2. Luke Luaalili or Charlie Staines
3. Reimis Smith
4. Taylan May
5. Sunia Turuva

Bring in some practice depth we can rely on, not the likes of Naden and friends.

 

[eyewondertoo]

Newcastle,despite its shortcomings, had a straight defensive backline in the second half yesterday.
Ours was not
.Is it a coaching issue or players not communicating or a combination of both?
Regardless of that, dooey's defence is dreadful and is a total waste of a roster spot.

 

[happy_tiger]

I don't want him in the squad .....but when he is there why can't he be of some use and put up those floating bombs

 

[Snidest 0]

In his past 26 games for us, Adam has had 4 wins. Luke Brooks only managed 3.

Is Brooks a Tigers player in 2024....

And Brooks was there for ALL of Doueihi's wins in 2021 that you want to include just to make a fool of yourself!!

You want to personally use your posts to stick up for for this nonce?

Get a clue!

This has to be a plan, or he'd be getting called out by those around him.

The numbers actually stack up if Doueihi is supposed to be on Ponga- Alaimalo is the only player out of shot & he's on the rookie.

I've noticed Galvin drops off & goes backwards as Doueihi rushes in. Not sure if that is also part of the defensive structure- but it seems flawed. Galvin's line defence is quite concerning & I think we've seen him turned around & running toward our own try line a number of times this year.

Question- would the club be wise trying to see Doueihi on the Zac Lomax wing idea?
