Two more years: Wests Tigers revise offer for Adam Doueihi
Wests Tigers have ramped up negotiations with Adam Doueihi by stretching their offer to a second year. Doueihi was a standout for the Tigers during Sunday's 28-14 upset over the Bulldogs, and will no doubt use the bye round to weigh up whether he accepts the club's revised deal, or entertains a move to St George Illawarra. The Dragons have already met with Doueihi who view him as an ideal No. 13 for Parramatta-bound Jack de Belin. The Tigers' initially tabled a one-year extension worth around $350,000 a season, and now added the 2027 season at the same money. Tigers CEO Shane Richardson said on Monday: 'We've offered Adam a two-year deal, and it's our final offer. If he doesn't accept it, we'll have to move on. We haven't put a timeline on it. We'll see what happens.' Jarome Luai and Latu Fainu are viewed as the long-term halves at the Tigers, with Doueihi a ball-playing lock forward. Coach Benji Marshall shifted Doueihi to halfback against the Dogs before kick-off, and said his experience was what the club needed in what was always going to be an emotive game. Marshall admitted at his post-match press conference how it important it was the club kept Doueihi, and said: 'We've been talking quite often with Adam, and we've made him an offer to stay.'
