Let’s cut him and spend his 600k on an actual lock instead of another project. He’s wasted a top 30 spot in our roster for too long, actually he’s been a complete failure since he’s been here. He was bought to play FB, he was given heaps of time and support, and was so bad we had to move him and buy another FB. Did he give back some of his money? No, he then stank it up in every other position we have gifted him trying to find out what he’s good at. Now people wanna gift him an important role like lock, the blokes a hog, and shown little to no idea on how to setup his outside men. I can’t see it and TBH, I can’t wait to see him stinking up someone else’s roster.
I'm not against cutting him, but there is no reason to make that decision now. He is not going to command what he is on now again, not next year anyway. He will cost about 300k I'd say, that isn't going to make a difference to our signings for next year. He has the backend of the year to show if he is worth keeping at a reduced rate. We haven't had many players that can make a break out of nothing and Doueihi can, so why rush the decision. He may just mature into a very good backrower if Benji decides to try it.
I've been highly critical of the heart he has shown at times, but IMO he carries the ball stronger then any backrower we have, so let's wait and see.
I personally don't want him at lock. He is a hole runner with a bit of skill. Edge backrow only.
