Douehi wins you games, and sometimes he loses them.
Madden gets us around the park and in a position for guys like Douehi, KPP, Romey , Samuela etc, to win them .

Madden won us the game yesterday with his goal kicking

Thats a fact which we shouldnt underestimate

If Adam is second picked after Api, it's a problem because it suggests some behind the scenes arrangement where Adam stays in the halves no matter what. Of course, Luai is picked ahead of Douehi but, when Jarome becomes available, I really hope Madden stays at half, especially if he plays well against the Knights.

AD said post-match that he’s taken a back seat to Madden for the good of the team, allowing Jock to organise and get the team around the park. I tip my hat to him for the self-awareness and only hope he has the same attitude when Luai returns. AD is a very versatile player and fully fit he’ll have a big role to play, just likely not as a 7.

Especially if the WT or Should I say when they make the finals, where points will be even harder to score.

Adam knows he's going to get his chances back playing at half during the year even if he's moved to ball playing lock or centre.

I'd like to think he'd cede the 7 to Jock if Jock keeps up his form

I was thinking the same, he needs a week off the rest and recuperate.

Great summary but I have faith in the coach

I think he’d recognise himself that his ball playing isn’t happening for him. He wants to run the footy and playing as a centre with a licence to roam would be a load off his shoulders.

I'd like to see Jock putting up high kicks between the post & the sideline, 5m out with Tino & Adam as chasers. Low/Mid risk - High reward. Adam would need to be centre or lock for that to become a WT "Double Warbrick" or Double Coates" 5th tackle special.

The little kicks into “no man’s land” for KPP and Samuela should also be inserted into the game plan.

Well said and I hope Adam accepts more of a supporting, wider role when Jarome returns.

That's great news we can move Makasini to the wing.

Problem solved. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Nice one

I don’t think Adam sees it that way, I reckon he sees himself as a half.

I don’t necessarily agree. I mean it’s all speculation but he would have been well aware that L. Fainu is our long term halfback when he re-signed until end of 29’
