I would prefer Abbey at 1 than Doueihi. Doueihi is a 13 or 6. Imo.

Doueihi is a centre that may be able to transition to 5/8th

Well Brisbane will probably be looking for a replacement for Hopoate now
So they will be short on forwards
They will probably need to keep Lodge now (good)
Maybe they can add packer
A Packer Milford trade till the contracts run out would do me
Both offer little
But a back up fullback is better then a backup to our front row as it stands
 
Bit of a weird one, but Stephen Crichton was live on Instagram with some mates late last night. Few of them were reading out questions about him joining the Tigers and Crichton went into awkward silence. Something’s definitely going on behind the scenes I reckon. Crichton had sunnies on and one of his mates read out a question saying “if you have sunnies on you’re joining the Tigers”, his mate took off his sunnies and Crichton went “that ain’t it, that ain’t it”

They must all be drunk at the DT. Their journalism is essentially 'what ifs' presented as facts.
I posted this in another topic but I'll post it again here..
I spoke to a member of his family just last week who mentioned the wedding was being postponed because of the Covid bubble. K. Foran is his best man and couldn’t make it to Byron Bay from the northern beaches, several others couldn’t enter from Qld. The texting story is a beat up and the Telegraph have again shown just what a rag they are.

He played almost 'all' of his junior footy at 6.

He has barely played 'any' center.

There won't be a transition.

AD is a 6.

Doesn't get any more convincing than that.
It will all be confirmed in 48 hours.

There won't be a transition.

AD is a 6.

Where he played his junior footy is irrelevant, Curtis Sironen played a lot of his junior footy at 6 as well. He was not a 1st grade 6.

On Doueihi's 1st grade games he played his best footy at centre, he looked very good at 6 but that was only half a game and he has only shown he can pass consistently from left to right. I want to see him develop a spiral pass from right to left and improve his defense before I am convinced he is a 5/8th.
 
I posted a few months back Mitchell Pearce was on the outer and Roosters and Tigers were mentioned as the teams. It’s no surprise a leak from Knights has come out and not kept in house. Makes no sense for us or Roosters tbh but don’t be surprised if there’s truth to the old flogs article. They have a star in Walker coming through in 12 months and we have Brooks on a big long term deal no one will take.

If I had a guess the Sharks make a lot of sense.

We’d be silly not to have a chat to the bloke.... we’ve got money and he’s a freak. Plus we’ve got his former captain at the club along with his team mate Laurie coming over

Yeah
We will take Mansour but only if we get Crichton as well

He is a 5/8th, the only question is can he do it at first grade. He did solid at fullback so I’m sure he’ll be fine it’s not like he has to learn the position all over again. His defence in the front line needs work but he’s a solid runner of the footy and has some nice passing, he’ll be on the right edge majority of the game so he won’t really need a consistent long ball to his left.

I like my 5/8th to be able to pass both ways, his passing left to right in the Eels game was outstanding, he now needs to replicate that on a weekly basis and develop the same on the other side.

I'm confident he can develop into a strong 5/8th but he hasn't shown he is a 1st grade 5/8th yet. Hopefully he makes it as we are very short of other options at 6.

He can throw some to the left too just not as consistently. I’m sure they’ll be working on it. He has all the attributes to become a good 5/8, good at busting tackles, nice cutout pass, knows how to draw and pass really well. He knows when to kick too, just hasn’t got the execution right all the time yet

Forget how young he is because of how good his attitude is, seems like a veteran already but still very early twenties plenty of developing left
