Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[the_third]

Ch9 reporting Twitter laying off over half its workforce. Frequent users of the platform/signing confirmations you have my sympathy. Things are going to hell!

did they go to Joey's are we signing them. did the report come with a groan?

 

[Glenji95]

You are as usual missing the point.

Then what was the point you were trying to make? You think year 10 will finally get Brooks to play good? I highly doubt it.

 

[the_third]

He did but we experienced 3.5 miserable years under his coaching.

so you conveniently left him out? mate be real and out the facts in

Our 3.5 years under Maguire were a disaster. I don't believe at any time in supporting Balmain, Wests or WTs have I ever believed the club reached so a low ebb.

On low $ he would be an asset . His heart was always in Tigertown. PS. here comes the haters!

Some forget Woods walked out on the club as Captain .. Captain
Thinking he was gonna find success at Dogs, meanwhile got punted there.
I don't want to see Woods in a tigers jersey again .. fairytale finish don't care

We could roll out as many p;ayers like the Zulu Warriors as they did and still lose v the Roosters ...wonder if Zulus had a warrior like Junior Pauga

Like I've been saying...

Wests Tigers legend Benji Marshall and old front-rower Aaron Woods recently bumped into each other with their families on the Gold Coast.

This would normally be a ‘Spotted’ but there is a lot more to it.

There is very strong mail that the veteran forward could be heading back to his old club the Wests Tigers for a fairytale final season in the NRL.

That a big third-party sponsor, not currently involved with the Wests Tigers, wants to contribute to make the deal worthwhile.

Woods would not comment other than to say he is still under contract to St George-Illawarra.

However we understand the Dragons will not stand in the way of the 31-year-old prop who has played 252 NRL games, 136 of them at the Wests Tigers.
The Tigers currently have 27 players contracted for next season. English forward John Bateman will take them to 28.

Woods is obviously not the same player as he used to be when he played for the NSW Blues in State of Origin and was always one of the first forwards chosen for the Kangaroos.

He did however manage 19 NRL games for the Dragons last season and 24 for the Sharks the year before. He played solidly each time.

Woods’ experience around the younger players would be invaluable at a development club and in a system where coach Tim Sheens and Benji want to introduce a number of promising rookies.

The veteran would love nothing more than to play his final year in his old jersey.

He left the club after the 2017 season for a big money deal at the Canterbury Bulldogs before switching to the Sharks and then Dragons.

The Wests Tigers have also considered making a move for Newcastle prop Dave Klemmer, who is one of Woods’s best mates. (DT)

Wonder who this mystery sponsor is.

What's good about it? An over the hill player who betrayed us, now looking for a final payout with a club dumb enough.

You really think bringing him back is a good thing? He’s shit.

Its what he does best.

The only way I’ll bite the bullet is if this guarantees us Klemmer. But even then I’ll hate having that fat oaf back.

 

[Glenji95]

I wonder what any deal would need a sponsor to make it happen?
Isn't he on like 150k at the Dragons?

We're probably giving him 450?

We would be dumb to pay him more than 100K

If you want to go down that path, compare the roster changes under Sheens to 3.5 years under Maguire in such a short period of time.
