Here’s an update on the Titans situation:

  • Arrow is desperate to come to Redfern immediately. He is toeing the company line for now but may flex his muscle shortly, which will be a tipping point in their approach. The coach is adamant he wants no distractions as has plagued the club year by year in for seemingly their entire history.
  • Arrow is annoyed now at what’s transpiring. He was verbally assured a release would happen upon fair negotiations, which his Manager assures has occured from the Souths side. The hold up is squarely with the Titans now and that has pissed Arrow and his Manager off severely. They do not appear to be operating in good faith as they assured Arrow they would.
  • Prior to Christmas, Gagai was the player going to the Titans. He was verbally offered a contract extension to move to the GC for 2020 and was asked by Souths to consider the move. He informed Souths just after New Year’s Day that he would accept a transfer, only for the Titans to renege on their offer. Gagai is going no where now and will be with Souths for 2020.
  • The player most recently offered (AGAIN) is Corey Allen. The Titans aren’t interested in releasing Arrow with Allen alone, talks of adding a forward (I’ve been told AMone is the one they want) are ongoing. This may happen.
  • If Melbourne release the young gun to the Titans early, or if they seal the deal with Asiata (which is close), Arrow will be released to us for Allen alone.
  • AJ has a big offer from the Tigers in hand. He has until Friday to accept. Not sure of his intentions or desires, however he would be absolutely crazy not to take it in my opinion.
  • Oh, and most topical given the above hysteria - Adam Doueihi is GOING NOWHERE. NO WHERE. He has received approaches from the Tigers, Dragons, Titans and Roosters (who have pro-actively assumed he may be disheartened by the LM signing) however the Club will not release him under any circumstances. He is an absolute favourite of Bennett and Richo and will be in the 17 each week. He will play a critical role as first man up to replace any of our halves or backs across Origin and in case of injury and has been assured a full-time position in the halves once Adam and or Cody’s contract expire. One of the two is on their final contract with Souths. Adam is the heir apparent to succeed one of them. AGAIN, he is going NOWHERE.

I think you’ll find that
1) Doueihi will be gone this week - to the Tigers.
2) AJ not going to the Tigers.
3) They go into a training camp this Thursday - Doueihi won’t be there.

Douiehi will only be gone if the Tigers pay the rest of his salary of which they don’t seem to wanna do at this stage. No way we will help anyone on that.

I hope we keep Douiehi.
