Aaron Woods “I regret leaving the Tigers”

[GNR4LIFE]

Imagine Ivan Clearly with Woods Teddy Robbie and Moses together for a few years would have been great Nathan would have came over

That was never happening.

4.5 million of a 6 million cap…

 

[Buttface]

Woods in his prime was not too dissimilar to TDM

Yep his first two or three years and then he was a beep beep barina and then Dora the explorer of suckers who’d still pay him No fan of any of those teams was cheering at his signing.

 

[westTAHger]

It is what it is.....😉

 

[rozelle_rudy]

You make it sound like he did a decade of hard toil.
Certainly not how I remember him.

Beep Beep Beep

That’s the sound of Dora backing into the defence.

Woods led the Tigers forwards. Run metres, offloads, many tackles.

 

[Demps]

Cut to 10 years from now.....

Lachlan Galvin is doing a tiktok live.
Behind him, 6 different NRL team jerseys, all from his debut games.

He stares into the camera... and says...
"I regret leaving the Tigers, it was all downhill from there 😢"

Yep for a few seasons he did.

This is a great debate this one, how many good seasons did Dora have?
I say 3 good seasons over his entire career.

 

[rozelle_rudy]

It was a lot more than 3 good seasons.

Woodsy played 146 games for the Tigers 2011-2017. For at least 5 years he was the best middle forward we had. The rest were mostly plodders.

That form led to Woods playing 14 games for NSW 2013-2017. 17 games for Australia.

You don't get that from only '3 good seasons'

His form fell away after he left us.
And who replaced him? Washed-up Russell Packer.

If you want to criticise, aim it at Cleary letting Woods, Tedesco and Moses go and for his shit replacements

Don’t blame Cleary blame Isaac Moses he was the grub holding the club to ransom

Something wrong with your memory...
He won Prop of the year more than once in a team that didn't play Finals,
Won it in his last season here.

Maybe if he hadn't left you'd have a better memory?

Cleary was too little too late.
We were in a hard position of Backing the Coach over the Players after many failed years
of backing the Players over the Coach.
Poor timing was the biggest issue.

 

[Yossarian]

I didn’t like the way he left but he was a good prop for us. People can talk about him backing into the defence and his play the balls could be slow but he put out good numbers for us.

 

[Tucker]

Woods led the Tigers forwards. Run metres, offloads, many tackles.

He was a stat padder. Easy to do in a shit team, was quickly found out in better setups.
Lazy bastard never took a dirty hit up for us. Always a 3rd or 4th tackle hit up…never a kickoff return.

Inshallah

Regrets leaving...but from memory it seemed like he was in a hurry to go.

It’s like when I remember Benji, but the opposite. 😎

 

[The Chad]

I think Woods should be the cautionary tale told to a lot of players leaving clubs over money or promises of greener pastures.

Whatever you think of him in his time at the Tigers- he was never as good elsewhere. Leaving the club that he now confesses he never really wanted to leave was a career turning point- only a negative one.

Galvin's early career looks ominously similar at the moment.

 

[The Fresh Oil]

Yep for a few seasons he did.

This is a great debate this one, how many good seasons did Dora have?
I say 3 good seasons over his entire career.

That’s kind

 

[ShanghaiCharlie]

The guy bled for this club for 150 games in the toughest sport in the world in the toughest position to play. Played SOO and for Australia. Reality is he was a quality player and tougher than most keyboard warriors on here. He changed employer and had a whinge. Who hasn't done that in the real world?

Absolute shite as a media and radio presenter though.

 

[Halbrowne61]

That was never happening.

Maybe not but it’s still nice to contemplate what might have been !
