I look at Teddy and think "if only".
I look at Moses and think "where that toilet roll gone".
I look at Woods and I feel fine.

He really has not done one thing to show he’s been a loss. He’s lost his Origin jumper, his Australian jumper, and now can barely hold a first grade spot. I’ve told this story before but it’s one of my favourites. When he had just signed with the Dogs, we played them literally the next week. After the game he shook Aidan Tolman’s hand and said “you’re wearing my jumper”. So the next year, Woods arrives and only lasts half a season and is moved on. Tolman outlasts him. Then a couple years later, they both find themselves at the Sharks. Woods gets tapped on the shoulder, and again Tolman outlasts him.

Yep, I’ve heard you before and enjoy it every time you post it. I know Aidan’s bro, he comes from good stock. Would rather stand beside him in a bad sitch than Dora.

Wonder if Benji might be thinking of having a crack at Lachlan Ilias for 24 only contracted up until end of next year. He was the driving force behind getting him to Redfern obviously rates him, we'll be free of Brooks and Hastings by then both seemingly dont want to be here anyway.

He's a Balmain Junior loved the club presumably still has others he played with in the system could well be one thing to keep an eye on. Im still on the fence with him personally as a player but him and Doueihi in the halves or him and someone else at 6 might be something we look at.

He has some of the best hands of any back rower in the game!

WTF are you watching??

This reminds me of that clown proclaiming Junior Tupou could be a great fullback - and when rebuffed admitted he had never seen him play....

How do you even think you haver a right to an opinion about players you have never seen??

Dropped a couple balls last night might be it -
Schusters attitude is rubbish, be all about him. No good for where we’re at.

How stupid to provide or post information like this. The job post career is something that can be construed as rorting the cap.

They've probably made it up though. Throw enough darts and eventually you get lucky.

I hope it's not true. He is a complete and utter moron.

Thought the same thing - bang on about club leaks and post and bang on about any little bit of anything they hear….

Real clever!!

One of the boys on here said he's friends with Murchie...

Can't remember who though.
Maybe they can have a word to him.

Didn’t get a real shot at Raiders - and no one ever goes real good at NZ…

Better than Kelma
Also think Andy Davey could do a job - top bloke - old head… late bloomer.
Wouldn’t be our worst signings

If that mail is correct, and we sign Woods with a promise of post career job, you can finally put the nail in the coffin for 2022 being the lowest year in the clubs history. It's one thing to believe he could add something on the field (something I don't think he can), but to reward a former captain that walked out with a career after football is downright insulting to fans.

Couldn’t agree more. Insult is an understatement.

Woods always reminds me of that captain of the Costa Concordia who abandoned the passengers when the ship was going down. A shameful human act which later was called criminal, got him 16 years in jail, infamy and a reputation that will never be repaired.

Yes, it’s a bit of an extreme comparison, but I can’t help how the mere thought that Woods returning really makes my blood boil.

Murchie was a talent coming through.
Has a good build and work ethic for the backrow.

Worth a shot imo.

Not keen on Davey but I think Psami Saulo from Newcastle could be something special if invested in.
