Man oh man Im loving this kid, he is fast becoming my tiger fave and with good reason.

Last night he made 2 plays that just screamed heart and commitment and changed the course of the game.

The first was that absolute banging tackle where he smashed Vaughn a metre from our line to save a certain try.

And secondly he did a run when we were in trouble deep on our line and going nowhere and he literally came off the back fence screaming onto it and got us out of trouble, with no thought of self preservation whatsoever.

What a team player....put the C on him now this is our captain!!
 
Keen for him to be captain, but not sure he's the vocal type. Sure, he can lead by his actions, but I like the captains barking.

Love him though, mentioned this in the live thread - you can tell he works hard at his game, his goal kicking alone has improved dramatically, and not just percentage wise... his technique has obviously improved tenfold. Had an awkward style before.

His general game as well is on the improve.

That run from the back fence to take us off our line had me up off my seat going mad
 
A couple of big plays utilising his ample size and strength, reminding me of Lawrence who despite his smaller stature would launch himself into the teeth of defences in helping out from centre.
 
I would also like to mention his goalkicking. I'm sure this will jinx him, but he's the sort of player you want taking conversions to win games, he's so composed. I agree with others, not since Benji and Robbie in early days have I enjoyed watching a player as much. Just the expectation that he's going to make something happen too. He's so much better than he was last year in every aspect of his game. Seems like the sort of player that is also trying to continually improve.

His improvement in goalkicking got me thinking that Benji maybe never put in the work to get better. He never overcame his inconsistencies in goalkicking, where Doueihi has been much more accurate this year. It's at a point where even if we signed a quality goalkicker I'd stick with Doueihi because the responsibility of it seems to also make him a stronger player.

That run was outstanding. It was leadership by example and you don't need the 'C' next to your name to do it.


and that tackle to stop nearly certain try..:tiger: :muscle:

The guy shows a lot of pride and desire. He's pretty much a quality goalkicker now.

We all kick ourselves when we get something wrong. Douehi is also that man .I respect his disappointment when he misses
