After enduring the most controversial weeks of his career, Adam Doueihi answered his critics with a courageous performance on Sunday night, earning glowing praise from Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall despite the club suffering a heartbreaking seventh consecutive defeat. Unfortunately for the Tigers, Doueihi's heroics were not enough. Asked whether recalling Doueihi vindicated his selection decision after the criticism surrounding last week's changes, Marshall dismissed the outside noise. Despite holding a 12-0 halftime lead, the Eels missed 27 tackles in the second half alone, while the Tigers tightened considerably, missing just seven. "I thought we were looking for things and forcing things, trying to score," Marshall said.
