Hindmarsh Slams Doueihi: 'Spoiled Brat' On Field
23 Jul
Summary
- Nathan Hindmarsh criticizes Adam Doueihi's refusal to play lock.
- Hindmarsh suggests Doueihi should be demoted to reserve grade.
- Luke Keary finds the situation unprecedented and potentially damaging.
Nathan Hindmarsh, a former player for the Parramatta Eels, has expressed strong disapproval of Adam Doueihi's decision to withdraw from the Wests Tigers' recent match. Doueihi reportedly refused to play as a lock, a position he had previously occupied. Hindmarsh labeled Doueihi's actions as those of a "spoiled brat" and recommended that the player be moved to reserve grade as a consequence.
Adding to the controversy, Luke Keary commented on the unusual nature of the situation. Keary stated that in his career, he has never encountered a player refusing to play due to being out of position. He suggested that such an action could make it difficult for Doueihi to reintegrate with the team and for the coach to manage the player. Keary also posited that this incident might stem from underlying discontent within the Tigers' squad, potentially related to other player decisions.
Amidst this drama, young playmaker Javon Andrews was set to make his NRL debut for the Tigers. Hindmarsh noted that the focus on Doueihi's dispute had overshadowed this significant career milestone for the rookie. Greg Alexander also described the situation as "uncomfortable," highlighting the potential negative impact on the debutant.
