Aaron Woods future?Manly possiblly?

If we lose him to Manly after investing in him to be a future captain of our club, someone should be held responsible for this debacle.
We haven't had decent props in years, so this would be devastating to say the least.

Future captain :laughing: who said that ? No way he is future captain material.
The only one you can hold responsible would be Mayer…he likes a gamble.

How would it be devastating..You forgetting we have Blair...we will just buy someone else like Blair...problem solved.
How come Manly is so good at recruitment and retention and we are absolute shit ?

He is very close to going to Manly and almost signed

What's stopping him ?

There is a long list of Wests Tigers players not resigned yet for 2015\. They won't all be resigned (we aren't Manly). I am really interested to see how Mayer plays this one out.

if someone is in negotiation with another club and is getting his manager to look over a proposed contract while he makes up his mind about whether to sign or not.
 
Maybe this will be resolved mid season after they see where Blair is at

The word is we are still trying to shop Blair around the ESL as no one in the NRL will pay even nearly close to what we did to sign Blair

If they can , they lose Blair a season early and offer Blair's money to Woodsy and not dig into the million dollar gold mine we will have at the end of 2014
 
Good point Happy. Blair..Why Why Why is he even in a Wests Tigers Jersey.

Woods on the other hand is a born and bred Wests Tiger boy. We need to keep all our representative juniors..All of them. They are mates they have all played together..this buying "superstars" policy doesn't work.

Like I said I will be watching closely to see how Mayer handles this and our other juniors of contract this year. Credit it to him thou he did resign Brooks and Moses.

Yes, will be interesting to see what Mayer does about it. His handling in registering Farahs contract last year doesn't instil at lot of confidence. It took an article in the newspaper before he got moving. Lets hope he's a bit more proactive this time.
 
Not concerned by this at all to be honest. I am confident Woods will be a Tiger for awhile yet.

Yep

No point creating drama just for the hell of it as this thread seems to be….worry about it when it comes up
 
When this rumour first surfaced a few months ago, someone asked woodsy and he said something like he loves the club and is looking forward to his future at the Tigers.

He's a local junior and has lots of mates and some rep jerseys already.

Manly have lots of good young props coming through and I doubt they would splash the cash for a prop with injury concerns.

And those of you looking at salaries are way off. You realise there's been a big increase in the salary cap? Any Origin level player will be on at least 400-500k by the end of this season. If Widdop is worth 400k and hasn't proven jack, how much is an Origin player worth these days?

Not exactly true

Beau told the world on the Footy Show

The club never released anything ,I think this was brought up before on another thread
 
Class props are like gold, so Woods will demand and get a 400 grand plus contract. You would think we are the front runners but Manly will be cashed up for the 2015 season, at least one of the Stewart brothers will be gone and maybe even DCE so I would expect them to wave a big carrot.

Like with all contracts you have to work out how much you can offer a player without stuffing up the balance of the team. We made that mistake with the Blair contract, we offered him a fat juicy contract without considering how many players we would have to offload to balance the books. Anyway Iam sure with third party deals and available cap space we will be able to make a competitive offer. At the end of the day Woods will do what he thinks is best for him and that is the way it should be
 
I love rumours as much as the next guy but the fact of the matter is that Aaron Woods has publicly stated he doesn't want to go anywhere.

IF he does move on, it won't be the end of the world if we back up with some huge signings for 2015\. I will lose my shit if we don't sign some big names in 2015.

Good idea we let our best local players go so we can sign some big names…like Blair ? Anasta ?

Who are the big names that would remotely be interested in coming to this club ?
 
Her didnt say ''we let him go"

He said: "If woods moves on"

Big difference, but dont let that stop you from bagging out the club
 
The big name signing that Mayer talked about signing will be Woods. Now that's the truth.

Yeah, that's it, we should be howling at Mayer and co for letting players go and bringing in Blair and Anasta :unamused:
