Doueihi wants No.6 gig long-term at Tigers

Adam Doueihi has declared he wants to play in the halves long term at Wests Tigers setting up a looming squeeze of three playmakers into two positions. Doueihi will make his long-awaited return from his ruptured ACL on Sunday against Canterbury, after 10 long months of rehab. The Lebanon star will come off the bench and expects to play limited minutes in the backline at CommBank Stadium, as he settles back into full fitness. "Long-term I definitely see myself in the halves. No.6 or No.7," Doueihi said. "I probably prefer No.6. Anywhere in the halves down the track is where I see I will be most comfortable." "I have just been focused on getting my knee right," Doueihi said. "I am not fussed with where I play at the moment. "I just want to get back out there and not muck around with the spine and let everyone do what they have been doing and ease me back in. "When it comes time down the track we'll sort it out." "There are definitely some dark days," he said. "You have those thoughts, a lot of spare moments to yourself. You think about some weird things. "You obviously doubt yourself, will I get back to the player I was, will I keep improving? Will I do it again?"Those thoughts obviously come in but I am happy to be out the other side now."
