When a player comes up through the Tigers ranks, captains the side and even has the postcode tattooed on his butt! (or where ever it is)… And then shats all over the club while still wearing the jersey!! I think it's fair to say that some die-hards will need a little time to recover. It's only natural.
I'm enjoying these dudes getting flogged though.. :smiley:

Never displayed any natural leadership qualities.
He has no temperament for that role.
Needs a leader to scream at him and give him hurry up on the field.
So Ennis got the wrong number on that one.
Not worth $800k per season and not amongst my 8 best props in the NRL.
But the Bulldogs knew what they were getting. Same as Moses at Parra.
With Teddy it’s different story.

One other thought I had, is because Woods has joined an arguably superior forward pack, he does open himself to more criticism, warranted or not.
As clearly the best forward the Tigers had, with little quality support and racking up good stats, you could hardly criticise Woods in the last few seasons. Same as you could hardly criticise Tedesco, though the bloke overplayed his hand in about 80% of games in 2017.
Woods now joining the likes of Klemmer and Jackson, taking a bit pay cheque that more or less forced Graham out - it opens him up to way more criticism that he was shielded from when playing for Tigers.
As far as I can tell, Woods is playing reasonably consistently with last season, just the overall performance of his team is lacking.

Mick Ennis comparing players based on their salaries will win him no friends imo.
We all know he and Graham are best buddies, but dont think Graham would be backing a headline like that today - its not Grahams style and I think he would have preferred for Mick.to keep that opinion to chats around the barbeque.

That's my thoughts exactly. Woods has never flattened an opposition player in defence, it's not his style. Churning out the metres, yeah sure, but on the same note he's not a damaging runner, just manages to carry 3 defenders most times and pop the occasional offload.
Aaron Woods is not James Graham.
In other news, grass is green and water is wet.

Never going to be aggressive we knew that and many times wanted that out of Sharon but i agree never in his makeup to worried about how his hair situation looked and held together each week. Looks like he is going bald now this will genuinely affect his game for some time.

Ennis should stick to practising his "UFC commentator/faux tough-guy" voice for use in his commentary and The Greatest telly show. Reminds me of a little kid trying to sound gnarly when he puts that voice on.

Yea weird isn't it. Also less Moses bashing, I guess it must be of his stats last game (or maybe a game before).
0 meters, 0 tackles and 6 missed tackles…. We should have never let him GO!
James Graham is a good player, past his prime but has impressed early for the Dragons. I thought his contract was lower, but they are getting their monies worth. We could have taken him here, but we got a good forward pack instead.
Woods too, is churning out some stats for the Dogs. Woods has averaged 58 minutes in his first two games, along with 13.5 runs, 115 metres and 27.5 tackles.... Not great stats, but not bad. Ennis just stirring stuff up. Most likely to boost his own ego.
His offload is his weapon

All I will say on this piece is…in defense of Sharon he has gone to a rabble of a club from admin to roster...he is still the same Sharon but viewed differently now he is in a different jersey....Graham has always been a competative unit now in a well coached stable unit,he looks the goods but has a great team around him and he stands out...Sharon will produce a better game when everything stabilises around his club,if not this year but maybe next....
