Call me contrarian, but I love the idea of Douehi. He was consistently the tigers best player before his injuries and deserved the 800k price tag he was on. If we can get him for half that it’s a steal

well, they do love us
He is one serious injury away from retiring no thanks, it is easy to stand out in a Tigers outfit also
Yep No Douehi thanks!
All players are one serious injury away from retirement.
Also a much better back up half option than Marshke with the benefit of being able to slot in the backline.
If we are willing to sign Douehi, why didn't we sign Shuster? Same coverage of positions, also cheap, no injuries.
Agree, the guys got class, prob is where do we play him. I reckon his best position is five-eight, he`s good at centre but we don`t need him there, lock might knock him around, it`s a tough one, but I`m a fan. Still think we should go for Gutho at five-eight, Flanno at half if we are going to off-load Hunt.
I'm not suggesting we sign Douehi, but we dont have centre or halves depth.. so perhaps they see him as that.. and perhaps 300k cheaper than Bird..
nah all good - I rate him as well, the injuries are the standard caveat but I agree... at his best he could be a Burton style 6... handy goal kicker and has that epic bomb on him too. Seems risky given his durability but if he can stay on the field, agreed.
Douehi is a professional in his preparations and competes hard.
He was a gun FB at Souths before the knees and can also play 7.
There is a guy on Youtube called "Knees over toes guy" who consults with US basketball and football teams on knee/ankle/hip strength. He had had multiple knee surgeries and even has one plastic knee but - despairing of all of this - he developed a strength and rehab system that has got great results. In this clip he is the white guy. Age late 30s. Check that acceleration and vertical leap.
