Adam Doueihi hasn't requested a release but may soon, missing a match due to being benched for a debutant.
Adam Doueihi hasn't formally requested his release from the Wests Tigers, but it wouldn't be surprising if he does in the near future.
This weekend, the halfback and utility player will be missing the match against the Canberra Raiders after Benji Marshall informed him he wouldn't be starting in the number seven jersey. Instead, the club has opted to give a debut to Javon Andrews.
While this decision was unexpected, Doueihi's choice to sit out is more significant.
Currently, he is under contract until 2029, having signed an extension earlier this year. Despite his evident skills, his injury history and the club's commitment to him during prolonged absences make this situation quite precarious.
