Madden vs Douhie

So are we assuming Douhie is starting in the halves? He has played well there and we need him for kicking. What about the discussion of playing him at lock? But then we need a halfback. I wish Benji would go public about how he intends to use Madden next season. What do you think? Do you think Madden will be playing many NRL games if there are no injuries?
 
Where do you play Douhie? We do need a lock? But we also need him in the halves. Personally I would rather he play in the halves big ask to play lock after all his injuries.
I don’t think he needs to be in the halves. It’s not where his future is. He’s good cover, but he’s not a first choice halfback.

I can't see any reason you would drop him from 7 we won some games while he was playing there, I suppose it's his spot to lose unless Latu jumps out of the ground.

Considering Latu's injury prone body doesn't fill me with any confidence at the moment.

Latu can come off the bench until he proves his body is right. Having him on the bench is not good for his development but he needs to be eased into first grade and I feel he is too good to be playing reggies. Not easy being a coach. It is easy to be critical of Benji but it's a tough gig especially at the tigers.
 
Doueihi is starting half next season assuming he is training well and healthy; Latu off the bench, and starting when AD or Luai are out; and Madden 7 for Magpies.

Madden is getting paid good coin to run our reserve grade team. It's something you have to do so your younger players can develop. It's the whole reason why the Roosters signed Chad Townsend. He predominantly trains with the reserves. Your depth players can't develop in a team run by a bad halfback - and Madden is pretty good at reserve grade level. He will get his chance in FG.
 
Guess it will come down to pre season. Have a feeling Madden will be in the frame a lot considering Latu is the kind of guy who can could be sidelined from standing up off the toilet.

I am expecting big big things from Javon Andrews had a chat with a friend and he said he's a very special talent Jock will be lucky to play
