The Tragic Reason Behind Tiger's Stars Tears

[hobbo1]

The one thing that stood out to me was who the real leader and captain of this side should be. Packer on 2 occasions walked with Doueihi, consoling him with his arm around his shoulder. Good work Russell.

Yes. That thought crossed my mind on the night.


Wow....Ive seen it all now with people suggesting Packer as captain.

Well you have to admit, he's the only one out there that showed any leadership with his upset teammate. Where was Mbyebye?


Agree with that, its big leap to Captain though

Who else shows leadership? That is the issue here. How long has this forum been calling for leadership?

Luciano would be my pick

Luciano definitely leads with his actions but perhaps he might be deaf mute like Mbye when it comes to revving the boys up a bit? He's most certainly the leader with his actions and consistency.

Still have to be an upgrade on Mbye

A half eaten away Mummy from the Ramses II era would be an upgrade on Mbye.

He gets 34k a game ....
Mind boggling ?

But can it kick goals?

No, one is it’s legs has been eaten away

No but with one of it's legs eaten away it can kick better than Mbye.

Hope so, otherwise Madge will be kicking some sarcophagi at half time.

Yes and apparently he likes to keep the boys revved.

Trouble is you want your Captain to be pretty sure of getting picked each week. Thats a short list now. Twal?

That's true, but I think Maguire really needs to focus on the players that are true leaders and Packer is one.

Plus he’s one of few that play 80 mins each week

 

[JC99]

we have potentially such a great fan base. look at 05.

such a shame we come up with the same every single year

If we were as good as Melbourne, every game at Leichhardt and Campbelltown would sell out. Viewership numbers would be second in the league only behind Brisbane. I've always believed we have the biggest dormant fan base. We have so many passive fans who are just waiting for some success before they come back.

Our tv viewership rates are very high. Last year we were like fifth overall I think? Only behind the big clubs. We have a huge fanbase but with no success in so long most people don’t bother going to home games - the fact we play at two grounds doesn’t help either

Yeah good point. Probs can't catch either.

We're actually discussing if a 5000 year old mummy would be an upgrade on one of our players hahahaha LMAO

Doueihi talked to channel 7 about why he was emotional, due to the performance and the Beirut explosion, but what caught my attention is that he said Madge talked to him at halftime and helped him get his head in the game, and it seemed to worked and Adam looked a lot better in the second half. Whatever Madge said had an effect on him

 

[tigerballs]

22 year old who’s barely played here cares more about winning and losing than majority of our players. I’m sure covid and the Lebanon tragedy added to his tears but for me it’s good to know he cares. Wish everyone else cared that much

I'm glad they didn't film me after the game, I was in exactly the same state.

The emotional footage of teammates consoling distraught Wests Tigers fullback Adam Doueihi shocked many - here’s the sad reason behind the star’s tears.

His tears were as much for his club as they were for his country.

While most rightly assumed a distressed Wests Tigers fullback Adam Doueihi’s post-game tears on Saturday night were due to last week’s tragic explosion in Beirut, he was also lamenting his own modest form and his side’s horrible performance against Newcastle.

Doueihi has Lebanese heritage — and has represented Lebanon in rugby league — but has no immediate family living in the country.

Having been handed the Wests Tigers’ fullback spot at the start of this season, Doueihi remains frustrated at his own form and that of his underachieving side, which has lost three successive matches.

And the emotion poured out after his team’s 44-4 loss to the Knights — television cameras capturing the vision of Doueihi in tears. Insiders claim Doueihi was “flat” at halftime and “upset” at fulltime.

“It bubbled over and came out, it was sad to see,” the source said. “He is disappointed and frustrated because Wests Tigers are better than how they’re performing. He has so much passion. And he only turned 22 years old last week, he’s still very young.”

Teammates, primarily Russell Packer, comforted Doueihi — who had the word Lebanon on his wrist tape — at fulltime.

“Adam is pretty passionate. He’s been a junior at Wests Tigers and he wants this club up where we all want it,” Tigers coach Michael Maguire said. “He showed a bit of passion around what the game means to him, and I can assure you that every player in that change room feels the same.”

Former premiership-winning hooker Michael Ennis said Doueihi was gutted at full time.

“Adam Doueihi is absolutely distraught,” Ennis said on Fox League.

“They’re concerning scenes. At halftime we got some shots, we couldn’t see his face but he was in deep discussions with Michael Maguire.

“We know he’s of Lebanese heritage and it’s been a really tough week with what’s gone on in Lebanon and it could possibly be that.”

Former Test and Queensland superstar Cooper Cronk also spoke passionately about Doueihi.

“It’s hard to talk over because you don’t know the pain and suffering that the young man is going through at the moment,” Cronk said.

“Our hearts are with him and we hope there are good times ahead for Doueihi, his family and the Lebanese community.”


Well one has to question if he was in the right frame of mind to play?
That's really a coaching/Player discussion.
In reality he had another shocker and that's now a few games in a row.
A few weeks back i was more thinking give him some time, he was generally safe under the high ball, but other factors were concerning, positional play and speed.
I really don't think he is a fullback and Madge is playing him there as no better option for now.
Reviewing tackle efficiency stats he is also our worst performing player this season and properly deserves to be dropped but replaced with whom.

Doueihi - 69.4% , Nofoloma - 71.3%, Talua - 71.6%, Marshall - 73.7%

Teams watch piles of video of each other now and it's no surprise he's been found out mid-way through the season. Other coaches have half a season of footage to build their game plan and know Doueihi is a weak link in defence and positioning.

 

[Magpie1969]

Douehi is still only new to NRL and finding his feet. No he isn't Teddy or Slater but he appears to have passion and gives a shit about things. Great Packer went to the young guy thats what leaders do Mbye might be a nice speaker and lovely smile but he appears to inspire no one. I believe Mbye puts in just not the bang for our buck we need. Sorry, Next

Agree he is not a fullback, positioning poor, lacks real speed, seems ok under high ball but recently hit and miss, has a good long pass, think maybe more a 5/8.
Shows at bit of heart is a WT Junior and loves the club, think in reality is playing out of position, like to purchase Alex Johnston at fullback but wonder if Madge burnt his bridges with him at Souths, interesting nil chatter.
