Do posters not realise they are reacting to a media article. This is why they put that garbage out there because it gets a reaction every time.

If AD is worth 900k, we might see Kyle Flannagan become the highest paid player of all time - on his perceived worth in comparison, at 3 million a year.

Managing himself or playing with himself?

same same

A while back I read an article entitled “ some Arabs need to get a grip on their egos”,
Whilst it was politically motivated it could equally have applied to AD.

He doesn't look Arab to me.

I'll cop it here but I'm not meaning to be offensive. I have Lebanese relatives and they are Arab. I also have friends form the gym who are Lebanese but I don't think they are Arab.

I thought one of my friends was Greek and another Lebanese told me that was highly offensive because they hate Greeks. The same guy told me the Arabs ruined Lebanon.

If I'm wrong happy to be corrected.

I'm basically 100% convinced that the article is true and the quoted figure may even be understated.

Was busted before the game, they ruled him out for the tournament a few days ago but Samoa had so many middle forward injuries he just played with it.

Typo, he meant... $899,999 / year.

Can't knock a guy for trying to get the best $$$ he can but man that has to be a misprint re doohie

If a bloke like Adam Doueihi is getting paid way more than say a stephen Crichton When you're a player of Crichton calibre at what point do you say stuff premierships I need to be paid.

Can't be good for next year.

Yeh I'd say his strategy is to play with some form next year and command that price. Big gamble

The halves market - very few worth their dollar value to any team but like anything supply and demand determines worth.
Good reason for Hastings/ Douehi to sell themselves in their preferred positions - and not as a 13 and or centre.

The problem is Douhie doesn't have a best position yet. He needs to improve his game a.lot at 5/8th. He's not a halfback. Centre he goes ok but defence is ordinary. He's a 600k player at best. He's dillusional if he thinks teams will pay him that much.

BREAKING NEWS:

Rugby league player wants the best deal for himself, both financially & for his future.

Get who it's from but let's play this out.

Imagine asking for a 38%+ pay rise after a non performing season winning 1 from 11 finishing dead last with a 72-6 & 56-10 from the last 3 games on your record.

If he gets it he can be my manager & no doubts he will get a flood of players knocking on his door.

Wish him all the best but if we are serious he won't be our 6 at 850-900k unless there are very strict performance/result driven bonuses imbedded in his deal.

If true no wonder talk of his extension is non existent & we are chasing other options.

Earl, my terminology was meant to mean Lebanese/ Arab, coz he’s Leb isn’t he?

You are right. I just think it's a bit more complicated than that.

And @Demps

 

[SeanT]

Wish we had to decent halves to get on the market. Honestly if Brooks,Hastings and Douhie went I wouldn't be fussed.

Don't think they will be the ones to take us to the finals.

 

[Demps]

I've heard from a source incredibly close to Sheens that Adam Doueihi is very much in the plans for the future.

75th minute impact winger from the bench.

Not sure of the price involved in such an important & integral role to Sheens game plan however his future is safe and sorted.

Honestly I don't get it.
