It wasn't Luke Brooks fault that he was chosen for the Tigers award. Yes, I'm surprised that Douihie didn't get it, but that was out of Brooks' hands. Players are allowed to be surprised and to voice that as well. But it should not create disharmony - surely. If it does, then we are no hope next year and the players need a rocket where the sun don't shine.

‘Absolutely baffled’: Player unrest after Brooks pips Doueihi for Tigers’ player of the year

There is unrest in the Tigers playing group after Luke Brooks inexplicably beat Adam Doueihi for the club’s 2021 player of the year award in a confounding decision from the club.

The Daily Telegraph reported Tigers players were blowing up after a three-man panel awarded Brooks the best player of the season ahead of clear favourite Doueihi.

“It is a really interesting one and Michael Maguire, Adam Hartigan and board member Danny Stapleton vote for the player of the year,” Rothfield said on The Big Sports Breakfast.

“Luke Brooks had a fair season. I had a look at the Dally M’s and he got 12 points.

“But Adam Doueihi I think was the most obvious player of the year at any of the 16 clubs.

“He was so superior to any other player at that club. Maybe Daine Laurie was a reasonably close second.

“Doueihi got 20 points in the Dally M votes. He finished eighth in the entire NRL while playing in a fairly ordinary football side.

“And there are players there asking questions. How did Luke Brooks win? And that’s not good for team harmony when players are asking questions like that.

“It is just another really weird decision the Wests Tigers have made.”

Brooks did finish first in try assists at the Tigers with 23 to go with five linebreaks, 45 tackle busts and a try in 24 games 2021.

However Doueihi played four fewer games due to injury and still had 16 try assists, nine linebreaks, 50 tackle busts, nine tries and 69 goals for a tally of 174 points.

Rothfield revealed the players were in shock that Doueihi was not given the award, which seemed so straightforward given his exploits in 2021.

“I spoke to a player manager over the weekend, who has a couple of players at the Wests Tigers and he said most of the group are absolutely baffled about the fact that Adam Doueihi didn’t get the award and Luke Brooks did,” Rothfield said.

“That’s where I got my information and I checked it out with the Wests Tigers yesterday and there was certainly no denials there.”

Laurie Daley agreed that Doueihi’s was the Tigers most consistent player in 2021 by a decent margin.

“I thought Adam Doueihi was their best player,” Daley said.

“I think he was the standout for sure.

“Luke Brooks for me was OK this season and had his moments.

“But being consistent I thought that Adam Doueihi was by far and away their best.”

I will start with the disclaimer around whether there is any truth to this article given it was written by Rothfield.

I will also say that I questioned the outcome.

But if this is a legitimate article it demonstrates everything that is wrong with the culture at the moment. Players whinging about individual accolades while as a team, they completely failed in terms of expectations of the team.

No accountability, no ownership, no sense of team. Just more finger pointing, division and "It isn't my fault".

Here's a discussion point, when you win a premiership, no-one will care about individual accolades & everyone can share in success

When is the penny going to drop for all the Brooks hater. He has a contract to be here and was voted equal player of the year. He is not going anywhere. It has been 421 pages of nasty vitriol which has spilt over to personal attacks and is cyber bullying at its best. He has never said he is Gods gift to halfbacks. He gives his best every week and whether it is good enough is a matter of opinion but he doesn’t deserve the hate he gets on this forum. For better or worse he is our halfback and until someone better comes along he will continue to be so. Put your hand up if you can do a better job and see if you can handle the abuse if you fail. Rant over!

I think we all know if the story comes from buzz its 100% agenda driven and bs

We don't have any power brokers and we are crap so we are a sitting duck for the media to bully us.

Russell crowe got an apology from Kent because he has the power and money to take them on. What do we have ?

Phil Gould made special mention of the forum, a few weeks back. Hinting that fan outrage is more detrimental to the club - its management or decision making and public image.
Surely people can recognise that the mass media aren't preying on the club, however that it's usually the unbridled emotions and unrestrained behaviour which appeals to them.
Fans hold a lot of power and influence in what is generated in the press.
So on that note, I honestly think it's worrisome that people feed into the frenzy and help thrust the club and our players into the media spotlight (on social media), fully aware of this, simply because they can't handle their own negative reactions about something.

For his salary, I’d be happy to put my hand up and reckon I could do a better job. Happy for this opportunity to be given to me too!

To get the crowds juices flowing, I would demand that the Tigers run into the field to the Ultimate Warrior theme! For those that don’t know it, look up his entrance video.

Warrior! Warrior! Warrior!

Rothfield is an absolute scumbag. What grown human being makes up shit like this and tries to convince people it's real. How about the club grows a pair and threatens to sue.

he's not that bad. just opinionated . his boss has a hard on for him though..

 

[Tigerdave]

Yes I guess it's been too long without a negative article about the club, can't have that, no negative articles means less clicks.
