Buzz just polarising popular opinion nothing exciting.

I fail to see how any player can afford to point the finger if this rubbish is true.

The story on Fox says that several players were dumbfounded that Brooks won the award and not Douehi. Can't say that I blame them for being considered confused by that decision

You need to learn how to defend before you can be considered for a top award.

Come on … check out the tackle stats on Brooks - a defensive fallacy.

I’m not a huge fan of the man, but I thought he was strong in defence, just looked at his stats:

24 games
456 tackles at 85.7%

Nathan Cleary
20 games
370 tackles at 87.7%

Not too different?

I thought his kicking game, was his weak spot?

A large number of fans were outraged, so i've no doubt a few players were equally perplexed as to how Brooks was a co winner ahead of Doueihi. It's an incredibly poor decision that is the equivalent of just painting we accept and celebrate mediocrity on the front of every player's jersey.

Gotta agree.

“It is a really interesting one and Michael Maguire, Adam Hartigan and board member Danny Stapleton vote for the player of the year,”

No surprises brooks favourite. Just found our list of who we need to exit the club asap

I think it's fair to say that head to head a majority of fans and players thought Doueihi had a better season than Brooks. And he did. AD did his job fairly well, Brooks struggled with his. Both weren't consistent enough and defensively they're about he same too.

The truth is picking the least poor player for our season would have been very challenging.

But yes i think Stapleton should go. He's the boards representative on the football committee, and we've made a lot of bad decisions under his watch. Time to go. Jog on...

For a little fellow his courage in defence puts most of our big forwards to shame.

What about a halfback who can't pass, kick, direct or talk?

Isn't Douehi in the halves also. Maybe he should pick up a bit of that slack. I love how its always Brooks' fault in a 17 man team.

People believe what the media tell them to believe

I believe what I see. And that is Brooks is not an NRL standard halfback and is a massive liability to the team

Funny that. When Douehi was in the halves and getting the ball when he wanted it, taking on some of the kicking duties and 'picking up the slack' as you put it. Whilst getting good reviews from the pundits, what did Madge do? Shifted him to centre coz his little boy Brooks didn't like it.

What the. Are you suggesting Douehi was moved to the centres because Brooks didnt like it. Are we going to blame him for that now too. Surely your having a lend.

We've hand multiple players moved on over the years because they apparently overcalled Brooks and weren't letting him have control of the team. It's a common theme

Doueihi and LL were probably our weakest in defence all year. Considering we are a team where defence was our biggest weakness, the praising of Doueihi to the extent he receives on the forum is way over the top. After two knee reconstructions, I'd suggest his future is in the forwards and he will need to improve his workrate and defence.

It’s a good point. AD is a big bodily in the backs and as he ages he will bulk. I think his time in the halves may be limited. I think part of his defensive limitation is mobility.

Since junior days, I've always believed Doueihi is the Paul Langmack style of lock forward. Langmack was a great link between the forwards and backs and basically a very clever second 5/8. I'd like to see Doueihi in this role.
