You address me as "kid",from which i wish i was.tyrell is not butthurt,as a professional athlete,he just expected to be treated likewise.as for your superior knowledge of things rugby league,and your general intelligence,both tyrell and myself are tertiary educated.what you believe,and what is the truth can be many miles apart,especially when a keyboard warrior like yourself fires up!



I suggest you get over it & just contemplate my “dispersions” Mr Tertiary education :wink:

Doueihi....... where does he fit into the team?

He can cover a lot of positions but he’s a fairly big body.

As he matures and puts some weight on maybe his future is second row. He maybe the next “Sutto” , a ball playing second rower?

I’m not talking 2019 but down the track.
Any thoughts?

Young donut is a very exciting prospect and has an excellent attitude. You are right in that seems to have the world at his feet in terms of a future position. I think he probably needs a lot of work with his hands and step and he’s a future 5/8 if aj isnt interested and sutto was a great 5/8 in his days there.

When Sutto started, in full swing, he had a step that would baffle and confound many opponents. It was honestly breathtaking.

Young donut could be Suttos personal project.

So I see him has a strong stepping 5/8 then move to second row.

I’d also be bringing Craig Gower to the club, just about the best hands in rugby league history. Perfect to the atomic scale.

Im sorry to say Tertiary education means shit,u could be the smartest on earth and still be as dumb as an ox in life in attitude in personality etc, of course i dont necessarily mean you, im just saying tertiary is not the beall end all. Gates isnt tertiary educated, many other successful people are not, nouse is very important.

Doueihi's versatility could be his weakness as much as it is a strength to Souths. The kid is good in a number of positions with out excelling in one.
Personally, i see him as a centre or FB with the ability to cover the halves.

Why all the negativity around here all of a sudden guys? I get some of you are being realistic, I agree with a lot of your points for sure and it's not great that we're losing some of these players in return for not much but Seibs is a smart man, he knows what he's doing. The club will also have a plan and I have no doubts we can fill the second row void that is going to be opened up.

There is a lot of water to go under the bridge through the Pre-Season and we may just see a couple of young forwards really step up, you never know.

On another note, welcome to the forum Certitude but just be careful with what you say to some people around here since you're new. I have no problem with arguing, it's good but please try to keep it civil.

Yeah I thought about him at fb too but I’d rather channel the energy into aj who is still only 23 and won’t hit his physical peak in strength for about another 3 or 4 years. Aj has the speed, agility and he’s a seasoned campaigner at a still tender age. Once he bulks up, if he can retain his other attributes, he will be absolute dynamite.

Don’t forget he replaced the illustrious Merro.

So donut might find solace in the halves. He’s still a work in progress, but a very impressive one.

Yeah I’ve done a few joint degrees and even post grad stuff and I agree with you 100%

There’s the good and bad at all levels of educational attainment, occupations, culture, gender, religion and all of these things that people try to base their judgments on.

I think I and most people could tackle any argument to the contrary.


In the day to day life, you should just treat and deal with folk as you would like to be treated.

That’s what I’ve learned in life anyway.

A lot of footballers weren’t the best at school but they are great players, nice people and spend their money on other people. I know one or two. They also pay tax which goes to support.... unis!!

The life of an nrl player is very challenging.

I am not sure why people make these judgments about formal education because they are irrational and don’t seem to hold true in the real world.

It’s good to study, but if you are a creep it really doesn’t matter. You will still be a creep with a bit of paper after graduating etc. You will be found out eventually.

And a lot of life and opportunity arrives via friendships and relationships with all kinds of people.

Have a good life, help others, entertain sometimes, support Souths and then die. That’s about it lads.

I like alot about what you say pilot esp your veiw on life....but AJ a fullback he isnt, stop gap until some one else takes over maybe but he is a failure, as ive previously stated i have never seen a FB take the ball and continually pass it on to his wingers instead of running it himself, as if he is scared to run in traffic, no other FB does this, me, id blood our prime ministers FB corey Allen immediately and put AJ back on the wing,or GI and Allen in the centres

Fair enough assessment. Yes I concur!

But if he was bulkier he might be less afraid I guess that was my point.

He could transform to become a gi junior.

The upcoming Pre-Season will be a big one for AJ, I'll think he'll really try to bulk up a bit and we'll have to see what happens from there.

Eventually I see AD as a centre mace, maybe to the forwards later in his career.

Young donut ( affectionate name for AD) stands 6ft 3 and weighs in at a 94 kilo.

Gi is only 2 inches higher and weighs about 105 kilos

And we know gi tears through a lot of forwards let alone the backs he dwarfs and obliterates regularly.

So to get donut close, say add 10 kilo of muscle.

There’s a guy on quora talking about 3 years of hard work to get the solid 10 kg of extra muscle with variations and allowances for an individual body’s potential.

But this kid is only 20, so he’s got in theory another 7 years to meet natural strength peak anyway.

One of his challenges is keeping areobically fit at the same time meeting muscle targets.

But gi has two other gifts:

His understanding of football and
His mastery of the spirit and passion.

These can’t quite be totally taught I think. Players are called by the football gods or not to reach this level. The sublime JT and Cam Smith would be others.

But if a player has even half of gis ability, he would be very good player.

So the world is really at AD’s feet.

He could be almost anything and play anywhere. I would hope Gi stays with us post career to teach our players and with Sutto, lead us forward.

Have you even seen Corey Allan play?

If he plays fullback and Johnston plays wing, who gets sacked?

AJ's a ball player. That's why we have big, powerful wingers. They cart the ball up off our own line, Johnston chimes in at second/third receiver to be another point of attack. That's why he had 11 try assists this year and played such a major role in our left edge attack.

You not understanding a pretty basic game plan isn't a knock on AJ.

We have been getting 200k concessions for a few years, he is on about 550k so 350 in arrears. We are just waiting to see how much we can offer him.
550k? :joy: Still making shit up I see.

Any evidence to back that up or will you just throw a tantrum if I ask?

Ahh!! The Toad has spoken his favourite BS AGAIN, pitty us who thought you had pissed off.
Yes i have seen Allen play, more to the point, have you? I doubt it, because you obviously have no idea.
I'm not talking about AJs try assists in the opposition 20, I'm Talking about when he takes the oppositions kicks in our 20m line then immediately palms it to the wingers instead of pinning his ears back and running, of passing the ball in our 20 and jennings dropping it and putting us under pressure. And for your limited understanding no one gets sacked.
So mr know it all that knows nothing, if you have something to give,eg your opinion, you are free to give it but when you mock and rubbish others in the process and then make ignorant and rubbish remarks that show you have no decorum or knowledge, it shows that you are just trolling and inciting for arguments, piss off back to where you have been for the last couple of weeks you low down dirty rat.

More to the point, where is your evidence to refute my claim?
No evidence i see, just antagonistic remarks so you can make fun of people and create unrest and sauce.
Where are your proofs? None dida zilch as usual,where are your funny faces?
Give up and get lost

The burden of proof falls on the person making the claim.

It's why I don't make shit up to get attention.

Anyone with an IQ higher than their age knows that.

It's why people who claim to have been abducted by aliens get laughed at.

Making claims with no proof makes your claim worthless.

Deep down you know this. That's why you threw this little tantrum instead of answering my question.

Do you have any evidence to support your claim?

You won't answer that because you know being honest will kill the credibility of your claims.
Ahh!! The Toad has spoken his favourite BS AGAIN, pitty us who thought you had pissed off.
Yes i have seen Allen play
Where? When?

I bet you'll be too embarrassed to answer

Yeah, you don't understand the game plan. That's exactly what I said :joy:

You can't wrap your head around the fact that AJ's been picked at fullback for his ball playing while we're in attack and that we've signed/developed/selected big wingers to make those metres coming out of our own end.

It's a game plan that's worked extremely well.

What part of that do you not understand? Or are you just ignoring that fact because it doesn't fit the narrative of your tantrum?

Also, if we have two wingers and you want to bring in a new player and shift AJ to the wing, that means one misses out.

You're saying i have "limited understanding", yet you can't figure out that 3+1=4 :joy::joy::joy:

Holy shit dude. :joy::joy::joy:

No you dont make up shit because you try to blame everyone but yourself and yes i realise by saying i wont answer you are trying to make me bite,but i want to answer because you are full of shit.
The burden as you say it falls on the one making the accusation which is you,you got no proof or comeback,so you try to intimidate harrass and bully. All you do is make shit up because you dont have an IQ lololo,your so far up yourself lololo
F××k you!!!!!
