In 2017, he played 12 games for the Rabbitohs in the NYC,[7] and was called upon to play for the Rabbitohs' feeder club, the North Sydney Bears, throughout the year.[8]
Doueihi made his international debut for Lebanon against Malta on 6 May 2017.[9] In October 2017, he was named in Lebanon's 24-man squad for the 2017 World Cup.[10] He played in their 32–16 win over Niue in a pre-tournament warm up match, landing 2 from 2 conversions.[11]
Doueihi made his debut for South Sydney in round 2 of the 2018 NRL season against Penrith. Doueihi made 15 appearances for Souths before suffering a season ending anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) knee injury in their 30–20 victory over Melbourne.[12][13]
Doueihi made his long awaited return for South Sydney in round 12 of the 2019 NRL season against Parramatta which ended in a 26–14 loss at the new Western Sydney Stadium.[14]
With the signing of Latrell Mitchell for 2020, it left Doueihi on the outer with South Sydney. On 30 January 2020, Doueihi signed a four-year contract to return to his roots at Wests Tigers.[15]
2020
[edit]In round 17, he scored two tries and kicked five goals as Wests defeated Manly-Warringah 34–32 at Brookvale Oval.[16]
Douehi played every game for Wests in 2020 as the club finished 11th on the table and missed the finals.[17]
2021
[edit]In round 10, Doueihi scored two tries and kicked six goals in Wests Tigers 36–18 victory over Newcastle.[18] In round 16, he scored two tries in a 22–38 defeat against South Sydney.[19]
Despite the Tigers winning just a third of their games, Doueihi scored 174 points in 2021, the fourth most of any player in the competition, and the 7th highest season total ever by a Wests Tigers player.[20]
2022
[edit]Doueihi played a total of 11 games for the Wests Tigers in the 2022 NRL season as the club finished bottom of the table and claimed the Wooden Spoon for the first time in their club history.[21] In the opening match of Lebanon's 2021 Rugby League World Cup campaign, Doueihi was sent off in the second half for dissent during Lebanon's 34-12 loss to New Zealand.[22] On 19 October, Doueihi was suspended for one match over the incident and would miss Lebanon's second group match against Ireland.[23]
2023
[edit]In round 6 of the 2023 NRL season, Doueihi was taken from the field during the second half of Wests Tigers 28-22 loss against Parramatta with a knee injury.[24] On 18 April, Doueihi was ruled out for 12-16 months after it was confirmed he had suffered a third ACL tear on his left knee.[25] On 3 December, Doueihi was issued with a notice by the Wests Tigers club to explain his actions over a tweet he posted in response to a LGBTQ+ inclusion post. The post from the account read 'How to speak about LGBTQ+ inclusion', Doueihi responded to the post writing "embarrassing post" which he later deleted. Doueihi had previously been involved in a gay rights controversy when he supported a Sydney Catholic girls school banning students bringing female dates to the Year 12 formal.[26][27]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
