@tigerstu Madden is the only specialist 7 at the club .. I have no idea why Marshall is persisting with AD he should be 13 or in Reggie’s .Jock has a decent kicking and passing game and defensively is ok he would be a perfect fit for Luai Imo .

If they’re both fit I struggle to pick Doueihi over Madden in the 7.

100% I said when he was signed he should be first pick at 7. He IS a halfback…. Something this club has not had in such a long time. But we know how this club rolls 🥸

The Doueihi signing has really painted Marshall into a corner I think. Honestly think Doueihi is a 6 but we know who’s playing there this season.

Yes, except concerned about his defence in the middle.

I'll continue to support AD at half. He had some utterly magic games for us last year at half and continues be such a driver of passion and love for this club.

that parramatta game at Commbank when AD was at 7 he was diabolically bad and bereft of ideas. 

We need hos goal kicking, he needs to be a hybrid 13 type of role

If it was the Round 7 Easter Monday game that you are referring to then YES Luai was playing 6 and Galvin had just been dropped because of all the noise around him signing on with Bulldogs. We had others out through injury also so not a strong team that was in the midst of the Galvin affair and I believe it was also Mitchell Moses' first game back for the Eels so probably Douehi was not the only reason we lost that game. Just saying.

That game was an utter write off. The circumstances surrounding and the halves pairing. But remember the second half of the season? Remember the Bulldogs game?

AD has shown time and time and time again he is not a halfback and certainly not a halfback that gets you to the semi finals. He did ok at centre but we have better options there now. IMO if we have AD at 7 (or  6) absent injuries to Latu or Luai (or even Madden) we are screwed. AD needs to adapt to a 13 or 14 role.

I politely disagree. That's what forums are for though right

of course and you are completely in your rights to disagree. My point is though that we have seen what he brings and its not enough. he has played 31 games already for the Tigers in the halves and hasnt cemented his spot. What is going to change, particularly as he ages with dodgey knees?

 

AD (IMO) isnt our future in the halves, Latu is and we need to go all in.

@tiger5150 Agree AD should be nowhere near the halves as I have already posted while Latu is out Madden is first choice Imo . Why use a fill in which is only average in that position when you have a specialist half to use .
