AD is managed by Isaac Moses, he'll tell him that loyalty doesn't exist. Clubs will always look after their best interest, hence tigers using AD loyalty against him to lowball him.

I liked him as a player going back to when he started at Souths-I just felt he was gifted and a clever player with the ball-and then came the ACL injuries.

However, one major concern I had was alleviated on Sunday against the dogs-loss of speed- admittedly, they're not the quickest team in the comp but when he scored that runaway try, no one made any ground on him- if anything he was running away from their quicker players. Bottom line, his value as a utility including the outside backs was on show.

So all those ACLs don't seem to have slowed him that much. Unlike Jack B whom the Tigers are welcome to.

I like that the club responded immediately to the Tigers late interest. The dollar gap now hard to ignore. Perfect storm for Doueihi. He's having a winwin week after more than a few tough years.

Yes- we've lost a few personnel battles with the Tigers in recent years- we chased Turuva and Terrell May in the bad old days of Haran and co so they owe us one.

And just as a sweetener, let's offer his cousin a coaching gig with us.

I do hope that they will have sufficient funds remaining to sign a couple of hard nosed forwards - preferably some big beggars .

Whether we get Adam or not, I love that we finally have 2 men on the case in Daniel & Tim.. who can move quickly in negotiations.. were not waiting for Flanno to finish training and get on the blower in his corolla.

This actually is a perfect example of club loyalty vs money..... Adam is a loyal tigers player who wants to stay put.. but his club has not backed him at all year on year.. was it 150k they were gonna offer last year.. hes not in their longterm plans.. its almost a panic extension offered after yesterdays game.

Anyway.. we have to offer a good bump over their offer to pull him out of his club.. and weve done that.. im rly comfortable with the offer.. even if we go higher or a year longer.. but again atleast we actually have Daniel to manage these negotiations, i.e. that wont be the reason we miss out... and think previously Flanno's negotiation methods have been an issue.

So who made the decision last seasson to recruit Ilias over Adam D.

Old news poss , no point bringing up the decisions of the past buddy , let’s look towards the future as that is all we have at the moment .

It was reported that we tried to get AD to join (were close for the 2025 season) but he stayed as we know

I agree with you, Possum. My thoughts exactly. Let's hope that we sign him for 2026 and that 2025 decisions are a non-issue.

That would be him. But I want us to stick with Flanno..... That desire is hanging on by a thread, mind you.

I am pretty sure we didn't spend all the kitty this year, so I think we will be ok. We do need an enforcer.

I massively rate him too. Not just his football ability. Leadership. Seems pretty calm and his family are Dragon's supporters. Just get him Dragons. Grab him by the scruff of the neck and bring him down. Happy to help if you need me to

1 mil against 700K. Thats a lot of “loyalty” to give up

Why would he want to be loyal if they weren't loyal to him? And there is the Benji at training thing.
