Luai is not a halfback, he has show active and find again and although Doueihi is not a halfback either, he does a far better job of it than what Luai does.

Not over the last month - he has been putrid in defence and attack

I totally get why AD would have the shits considering he has been better than Luai this year, and wasn’t the one who helped upend the entire season with the PNG saga. Yet he’s the one being benched while Luai is given free reign.

However, storming out of training and ruling yourself out because you’re not going to play your preferred position is not on and is laying the grounds to be sacked.

This is all facts.

I don't think Benji [sticking with Luai over AD] or Adam [having a tantrum] is a good move for anyone.
 
Vicious said:
Neither is Luai and he is leaving, so why can’t he change position?

Because Luai isn't a centre or a 13, he is holding up his edge in defence and he isn't strangling his edge or palying for himself. Apart from that I don't see any reason why he couldn't be played out of position in a team first kinda way.

Both things can be true Vicious. It can be the wrong decision (which is my opinion too) and Adam can be acting like an entitled, arrogant twat and deserves to get the boot.

Was he demoted? What position was he asked to play? Was he in the starting 13? Was he off the bench? Was the positional change going to help us win this weekend?

Do you know any more than what's being reported to make the statements you are?

What ? A year and a half ago he couldn’t find a club who wanted him , the tigers extended him , then upgraded him when no one was chasing him .
They’ve looked after him . The attack has been abhorrent, and he can play multiple positions . Luai simply can’t do it . It is what it is. AD has no future in the nrl at 6 . I’m convinced of that , but a 13 who plays like an extra 6 , so old school 13 , rather than a modern day one … I think he can excel .
If ADs running game isn’t there , he literally offers nothing in the team . He doesn’t have a catch n pass , he doesn’t have body feints and move off the ball to create space for his outside men , his cutout is predictable etc. and I really like him as a footy player . Javon has something like 40 try assists/ tries/ line break assists , leading cup in most categories. He’s simply done all that’s been asked and other clubs with halves who have half as good stats have already debuted them .
The nrl team needs a shakeup. AD was always going to be first to drop out . Because he’s the most versatile , and like it or not we are paying the other bloke still another 400k (1/3 season left ) .
I think it’s clear to say next season will be Latu and Javon . And AD needs to get on board with this . I’m almost 💯 certain this has been laid out as the plan . It was obvious since the moment we signed Javon that the club would have these guys pencilled in . Luai leaving has moved this forward by 1-2 years .

I agree with a plan to have a halves combo of Latu and Javon, but what has Luai done to be given favouritism over Douehi?
There is a real danger the repercussions could be the biggest blow up in Wests Tigers history and that’s saying something.

Maybe, but then again Latu would have been playing 7 and we may have been humming right along less the injury speed hump. This last month has been putrid in attack and Latu gave us a glimpse of what could have been in his cameo before the sin bin.

Yeah I’m all for Latu getting a consistent run.
I love his tackling style too. 🫡

Luai will not work with an emerging Javon, wait and see.
The last thing a young emerging halve needs is an experienced halves partner who plays pass the parcel with the ball whenever he gets rushed and can’t make a decision.

This type of logic and thinking is exactly what I’m talking about . You’ve positioned it as a binary equation with a binary solution.
It’s simply could be that Javon slots straight into the luai slot , and AD has now made the more permanent move to lock …. It could have very little to do with luai.
But even so who the fark isn’t saying luai >>>>>>> AD.

Based on what analysis? IF he tries to play like Adam 100%; however, Benji isn't stupid. He can choose to simplify the game plan and split the halves it would be no problem. I hope he doesn't do this and allows Luai to slide into first receiver on the long side and let Javon play his natural game and viece versa on the opposite side. There is no need for halves to be doing complicated sweeps - simple plan that takes advantage of what they both have to offer.

What a young half needs is confidence in himself and that he can execute what he has been tasked with. Benji will know this form his own experience and will tailor a simple game plan, which he has already eluded to, to suit his Javon's strengths.

I trust that you are pleasantly surprised on Saturday.

I think it was lock he was asked to play
 
Wothout putting on my tin foil hat.

We’re playing Saturday - so we’re going to Canberra tomorrow.
Doueihi just finds out today he’s playing lock?

Obviously he hasn’t trained there, where’s the prep for such a move considering you’re not just shifting Doueihi.
How have the squad been training?

If the plan was always to run Javon play Doueihi at Lock - who’s playing Lock now?

I’m not a fan of AD’s attitude - never have been…
But fk our ‘coaching’ leaves me wondering
