Adam Doueihi gave an ultimatum to Wests Tigers coach: play in halves or in reserve grade, missing a crucial match.
Brett Kimmorley has revealed star Adam Doueihi gave the Wests Tigers interim coach an ultimatum: that he either be selected in the halves in the NRL, or play in the halves in reserve grade.
This took place when Kimmorley took over the helm in 2022 for the backend of the season after Michael Maguire departed the joint venture.
Yesterday, the club confirmed to News Corp Doueihi will not play in the Tigers' do-or-die clash against the Canberra Raiders after coach Benji Marshall made the call to play his Lebanese international at lock, rather than in the halves.
Original reports surfacing from the Daily Telegraph revealed Doueihi has opted not to play at all if he is in the lock position, and won't take part after not training on Thursday, leaving the club without star personnel for a must-win game to save their season.
