Reports earlier this year indicated that there was mutual interest between Doueihi and the Eels, and with Dylan Brown exiting the club, it could be the perfect home for the departing Tiger.
Jason Ryles is reportedly keen on giving Joash Papalii the first run at the five-eighth role for the Eels. However, if the club managed to snag their halfback’s international halves partner, that could flip the script.
Mitchell Moses and Doueihi have shared the field on multiple occasions for Lebanon.
The two know each other’s games quite well, and while the chemistry may not be as strong as their current pairing, the foundations are there for an electric one-two punch.
There is also room for Doueihi in the centres, with the club by no means locked into the current starter in Sean Russell.
The Eels are building quite nicely for the future, and with an experienced playmaker like Doueihi among their troops, they could make a bit of noise in 2026.
