Aaron Woods Retires

He ruined his career by leaving the Tigers and became a footballer that no rugby league follower is a fan of.
If he’d of played out his crappy career here he would’ve at least been admired as a one club player like Hindy. But no he left and then has taken little pot shots at us through out his career and finished a complete looser. Suck it Dora. No one cares if you’re playing or not, good riddance.

Each to their own, but I'll never understand the hate that people have when a player leaves the club. Maybe some deeply ingrained childhood abandonment issues?

The bloke was one of our juniors who came through the grades, represented Australia and racked up nearly 300 first grade games.

Definitely a career that Woodsy and his family should be proud of.

There’s a Richie line from The 12th Man when he’s talking to Max Walker about Max being in competition with Ken Sutcliffe for a spot on the commentary team, and he says “The selectors are weighing up Ken’s appeal with the female viewers to your appeal with the yobbos and dickheads”. I feel the latter are the ones who would find Woods in any way entertaining
 
It's 25% great prop, 75% Greek tragedy. He basically pissed a promising career against the wall and he knows it. He could have been a WT legend and Origin mainstay instead of a nomadic plodder being shown up by Tim Johannssen to lose reserve grade games. His dopey throwaways and budget fortune cookie philosophy can't mask his underlying regrets.

I watched him playing at Leichhardt a few times and one match in the U20s against the Storm was memorable. He had a running battle with Jesse Bromwich and the Fifita twins were running hit hard as well. He hit the line with great force and stood out as a future Kangaroo as did Andrew Fifita. All three were immensely talented players.

Totally agree Paws, its a shame it ended the way it did for him unfortunately, and people can say what they like but to play for NSW, and Australia he must have been above average.
 
Was an absolute gun early in his career. Stopped taking the hard carries about the same time his media career kicked off. Was a massive stat padder in his final days here, consistently taking 4th or 5th play hit ups once all the hard work was done.

I echo the sentiment of others that he could have had a good legacy had he stuck it out here. But now he'll only be remembered as a blip on the radar and that origin try-celebration-fail.
 
I think about 95% of footy players would be proud of the career Woods has had.

In saying that, I hope I don't keep seeing him in the media. He's got the attributes to be a Laurie Daley and Blocker Roach post retirement.
