    The Wests Tigers and Adam Doueihi have held a crisis meeting on Monday morning which lasted less than an hour, but is understood to have moved things in the right direction.

    It has been a wild weekend of news out of Concord, with attention centred on Doueihi, who walked out on the club last week after being asked to play lock instead of in the halves.

    That was to allow Javon Andrews to debut alongside Jarome Luai in the halves.

    Doueihi's absence may not have made the difference, but the Tigers played like a distracted football team as they conceded 56 points against a Canberra Raiders side who are suddenly back in with a shot at making the top eight.

    The Perth Bears are set to add another two experienced internationals to their inaugural roster, with Parramatta Eels veteran Junior Paulo and Canberra Raiders forward Morgan Smithies expected to join the NRL's newest franchise from next season.

    Paulo is understood to have agreed to a two-year deal, while Smithies has signed a three-year contract that includes an option for a further two seasons.

    The pair's arrivals were first revealed by News.com and continue Perth's aggressive recruitment drive ahead of its entry into the competition in 2027.

    Paulo's signing represents one of the biggest coups for the expansion club, with the 32-year-old expected to provide both leadership and representative experience. He has also been linked to the captaincy, having established himself as one of the NRL's premier front-rowers across more than a decade.
