i dont get it all.
some of you must just seriously hate woodsy or are so frustrated with the whole thing that your all jumping at shadows.

yeah, he dosnt speak "eloquently" - ok fare enough
i thought he was honest.
some of the things he said about making decisions when your in a bad frame of mind were absolutely correct… yeah its a bit dumbed down but it was simple and for me anyways, i preferred it.

lets be honest - the 4 of them didnt sign because they didnt have any confidence in the coach.
thats as clear as day now.
dosnt that also explain why its taken so long ???
and now, yeah...lets see... a few wins... a good team environment .. a good understanding of the new coach and who knows ....id like to think its 50/50 and in that scenario... take a few more weeks if we get a better result ! ! !

people seem to forget, in his entire time as the captain - hes been soaked in controversy.
hes had zero time to warm into it
hes been on the backfoot the entire time
hes doing his best not to fan the flames because we all know he knows alot more than what he says openly..... but stilll..... not good enough aye ??

i mean come on... some of you are talking up james Graham like hes a class act...
he talks well, but hes the type of man the bit another players ear off in a game... a big game...
have you all forgot or do you think "speaking well" justifies being an absolute grub.

yeah yeah, woodsy hasnt decided.. hes had plenty of time... hes a trator if he leaves... how could he.... blah blah blahhhh ....

but what if he stays !
will some of you sorry whingers put your tales back between your legs and start grovelling at how hes the man again. i bet you, you will. sad !

I don't get it at all either mate. Woods is a footballer and a damned good one at that, he's not a bloody politician! And he has every right to take his time making such an important decision about his career, especially considering the history of mediocrity and uncertainty that surrounds this club.

Just because Cleary has come onboard and the team has had one good win, everyone immediately thinks everything is going to be rosy from now on and Woods should just jump onboard and damn well sign or go. Woods isn't stupid, despite what many on here think. He's heard all the claptrap and promises from past coaches and management before only for it all to come to nothing.

I totally understand why he is waiting to see what direction the team and the club is taking under Cleary and who they might be looking to sign from other clubs to help balance the team out, now they actually have some cash to spend. Understandably, Tedesco is doing exactly the same thing, but for some reason, he has escaped being spoken about in the same derogatory way that Woods has been on here.

Because Tedesco is not the captain of the club. How many times does this need to be explained?

Woods has had months to decide, what is waiting a few more weeks going to achieve? Its a stalling tactic. He flat out lied when he said he hadn't even sat down with his manager. What a load crap. Kent looked at him like he was an idiot. He doesn't want to be here, how much more obvious does it need to be before you can see it. All we ask as supporters is to show respect to the club and tell the club so the club can move on. He's had long enough.

IMO he doesn't want to be here IF the Bulldogs can organize their roster mess and be able to afford him. He will be "on the bus" though if they can't manage to do that. He will view WT as the 2nd best option and fall back on that if need be. Not the sort of captain you'd want IMO.

Oh I'm sure if he does stay we'll hear him say how he never wanted to leave and is a Tiger for life. Tedesco too.

Isnt Garreth Widdop the captain of his club and dont StGeorge have a very competitive $2,2 mil offer on the table?
Whats his hold up ? - Considering his options, one of them being us. But we are all fine with that.

Not our problem.

And the Dragons have only just upgraded the offer to $2.2m for Widdop, their previous offer was significantly less.
 
Tedesco has already left (in principle) once before.
Find it hard to believe a word that Woods and Tedesco say anymore anyway. Even if it is "2040 BROTHER!".

Well Widdop is getting on with the job in the meantime and not sulking about his mates contracts, coaching appointments and other such rubbish. He is negotiating like a normal bloke and keeping his mouth shut. Ironically the Dragons are also winning matches.

Woods said Wests Tigers fans are the best..

That's why he is treating the fans like crap
His body language gives it away that he is over it all.
Strong player but a very weak leader.

My read on woods is he was out the door if Taylor continued to coach for whatever reason he was unhappy playing under Taylor. Taylor got the punt and his giving this cleary fella a go. I think due to cleary woods will stay with us. I think attacks on his character on here are unreasonable

Woods said, "All the boys love playing under JT."
 
Woodsy and Robbie having a coffee at Concord shops today. Probably just mates catching up but interesting nevertheless
 
Also said that he owed everything to JT. Gave him the captaincy. I got the impression after he was sacked that the board misread the play and they wanted JT to stay.

Probably should have played a bit harder against Penrith and Canberra then. He had to go, surely they could see that.
 
Well if you recall I called for his head BEFORE the Canberra game so I totally agree. I misread the play as well. I distinctly said that I didn't think Woods would walk out of honour to Taylor, and it was actually you that pulled me up on it and said I was assuming too much.

Perhaps they did want him gone but it was too little too late to change their mind. I wonder if we're in this mess if we just sack Taylor at the end of last year and sign Cleary at the start of the off season. I suspect we'd have all four signed months ago.

Widdop is looking after his own best interests just like Woods the difference being his loyalty and character is not being scrutinized heavily because he does not have that level of expectation placed on him, nor is hounded by the media constantly about his intentions or the intentions of others.
There is nothing ironic about his performance. He has benefited by the club strengthening their pack and on the back of that his game has improved significantly, elevating his value in the player market forcing his own club to up their offer to retain him.
 
He is not being scrutinised heavily because his team is winning and he's not coming out in the media saying stupid things every second day. That simple.

If he came out and said he was refusing to re-sign until they decided whether or not to sign a new coach, the cheerleaders and the bartender at the Leagues and it caused the team to lose a ton of games, he'd be rightly ridiculed.

He does not want to be labelled a Farah who gets rid of the coach

Tedesco also said he'd convince others to take less to stay at the club.
 
So…..I seem to have had a post removed. Notification stating I was quoted by CQTIGER Wed April 12 2:08pm. Nothing. I don't think there was anything bad in there.
Is there a left wing organisation lurking in the shadows attempting to stifle free speech? Anyone?
 
Well surely its not that hard from mate to mate, to say.
From Woods to Tedesco or vice versa

"Mate, I think we should both stay. This club brought us from nothing, to the big time. This club could be a premiership force and we need to be a part of this"

I just dont think it would be that hard for woods to talk Tedesco into staying, especially if Woods re-signs and sets the example.
