Just get it done ....... I Rate this guy and will be a great signing going forward .......
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.

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.
