Gee, Lazzo gave Woods a serve for his origin performance. "First set, he backed into the line. You can get away with that in the NRL."

Woods is the softest forward in the NRL.

Lazarus said he wasn't going to single players out and then proceeded to do so. Politics is obviously his calling, recalling he was a Clive Palmer senator :laughing:

Spot on, the slow hit up and back in to the line is garbage that has irked me for years, no good at NRL level, laughable at origin level.
I am one of Woods' biggest critics and have been for a long time. Mostly because I don't get all the hype around him. Was Laurie Daley really considering him for captain of NSW if Cordner was out??
But…that being said....I think he's been as good as ever for WT over the last few games and I respect him for that. He has a dig.
Sure, it's limited in its impact but it always has been.
I don't think he deserves the harsh treatment he's getting here. Unless you've suddenly all woken up to how limited he is. He's pluggin along like he mostly always has.

Glenn Lazarus takes Aaron Woods to task for poor tactics
July 16, 2017 2:23am EDTJuly 16, 2017 2:23am EDT'You can't get away with that in Origin footy'
Former New South Wales hardman Glenn Lazarus has jumped on the Origin blame train, claiming Aaron Woods is responsible for the Blues' game three defeat last week.
Lazarus, who played 22 matches for New South Wales and 22 Tests for Australia, reckons one of Woods' infuriating tactics is to blame for a lack of go-forward.
"The very first set of six, he's backed into the defence," Lazarus said on The Footy Show on Sunday.
"He does it at club level and gets away with it because the defence isn't as intense or committed.
"So he gets offloads away and creates a lot of opportunities for the Wests Tigers.
"But at Origin level, you don't get away with it. He got dominated at the ruck, he was held down for an eternity.
"The poor bugger that took the next hit-up got smashed.
"What NSW needed then was our big guys to go forward and complete the set of six rather than backing into the line."
Woods has occasionally come under fire for the tactic during NRL footy as well, with Tigers fans claiming he loses momentum by twisting around in the tackle.
This assessment by Lazarus is spot on. Woods is a fantasy football prop his go forward and play the ball speed slow down the attack and his front row partners struggle.

Fifita was hopeless too let's cast the net wide.
This criticism has been a long time coming. A handful of us have been saying this for 3 or 4 years now. His stats mask his effect on the game. He could have Scotty and Jesse B running the next hitups and they would struggle to crack 120 meters as the line has time to fully set and muscle up.

I think the Bulldogs offered him bid money, hoping that Teddy would come with him, I believe they wanted Ted more than Woods as they had enough forwards already.
I think Woods has done us a favour, for the money he was being offered.
I didn't see all the Manly game but at least he has been having a go for us.

Our props need to hit the ball up with power, bend the line and hit their elbows and knees and play the ball fast.
If they stand in tackles they need the power to offload the ball whilst moving forward not backwards is a bonus.
Dominating tackles and ruck defence would also be a welcome change.

That is leadership. I want the ball in my hands
Guaranteed if it were Canterbury Graham would be begging for it.

He showed it long before that when he refused to back the club publicly. It was a dog act.

I could never understand why a star plays DH and passes for example when out on the wing J Hayne will go DH - surely he should be lining up for a potential run.
