Tigers star out for 16 MONTHS as brutal triple blow confirmed — Casualty Ward

Tigers utility Adam Doueihi’s brutal bad luck with injury continues, with the club confirming the 24-year-old has suffered a third ACL tear in his left knee.

Doueihi, who sustained the injury during the 28-22 loss against the Eels on Easter Monday, is expected to be on the sidelines for 12-16 months, according to Tigers Head of High Performance Peter Moussa.

Doueihi will require revision ACL surgery due to it being the third such injury on the same knee.

Round 8

It’s another unfortunate blow to the career of Doueihi, who has played only 87 games across six seasons for the Rabbitohs and the Tigers.

The Lebanon representative first suffered an ACL injury in his debut NRL season in 2018 for Souths and then again in Round 21 of the 2021 season before his third on Easter Monday.

Tigers coach Tim Sheens said post game that the whole team was “pretty disappointed” after Doueihi’s most recent injury.

“Ask me tomorrow when I wake up and I realise it wasn’t a dream, or a nightmare,” Sheens said.

Doueihi wasn’t the only Tiger injured in the loss to the Eels, with outside back Brett Naden to miss the next 2-4 weeks with a grade 3 AC joint injury.

Sheens has named Brandon Wakeham at five-eighth to replace Doueihi for this Sunday’s clash against Manly, with Daine Laurie to come off the bench.

Starford To’a moves into Naden’s right centre position with Sheens making the call to unleash promising fullback Jahream Bula who is set to make his NRL debut against the Sea Eagles.
