Aaron Woods - Signs with Bulldogs 2018 - Sharks 2018 [Official]..

So who out of Klemmer, Tolman, Graham and Kasiano is leaving? Or are we to expect the Dogs can retain all four and take on Woods and possibly Tedesco? Tolman and Graham I've heard are under contract, it's hard to see Klemmer being offloaded especially with his man crush coming over. Maybe they punt Kasiano but that's still a stacked prop rotation before you even consider their back row. If all this happens this could be the NRL equivalent of the Swans signing Franklin and Tippett. The moment when the disregard for the salary cap becomes so blatant. They almost reached that moment when they signed Fifita and then everyone pulled out.
 
A bit of talk on the Sunday Footy Show this morning that the way this has all been handled by Woods has cost him whatever chance he had at the NSW Captaincy.

Kasiano is definately gone isn't he? Im pretty sure that was said months ago that the Dogs will move him on. Could be wrong.

I seriously doubt the dogs have even made an offer to Woods. If they have, and im lead to believe its a big if, its only to bump up his price for us. They dont want him. I could be way off though.

At the moment I'd have to say that's a good thing.
 
On a side note talking about the dogs pack, does anyne else find Klemmer overrated? A shaved head and fake aggressive attitude doesn't make a good middle player. Like Woods, i believe he's only played origin due to NSW going through and lean period regarding front rowers.

Not as overrated as Josh Jackson

I hope it has…. I really do.

At this point I think the Tigers should withdraw his offer, just cut him loose. His captaincy is all but untenable from here on out. Captains can lose the sheds just as coaches can. His body language after last weeks win as the rest of the team were flipping out on the paddock said it all... Woods supposed offer would put us most of the way towards 2 good props to put along side Ava.

I agree. Let him go and sign Matulino.
Just as good a player but would take up much less cap.
 
I'd say he's definitely talked himself out of the possibility of origin captaincy.
I really thought he was gonna become a good captain.

Thats the beauty of the forum and footy opinion i guess, i rate Jackson highly.

The offer for Woods would probably pay for Matulino and then half of a Packer or Evans wage. Much better value letting Woods go when you look at it like that. However, theres no guarantee we can get these outside players.

Has he signed elsewhere? In any case you'd think Woods minus Kasiano is still a decent amount of coin. I tend to agree. Why would they pay Woods a mil then have to pay Graham to play with someone else next year?

I dont think Kasiano is signed elsewhere. Concerns over him playing decent minutes have left him in limbo.

It'd have to be a big limbo… I still think he's got a lot to offer.

He kills us every time we play him

If you've got an 80 minute hooker and a couple of 80 minute second rowers he'd be great to have. He draws a stack of defenders and has a great offload, it's just a shame he can only punch out 20 decent minutes a game.

Probably why he wouldn't come here - its the one game he looks forward to each year.

That's in a nutshell. 80 minute hooker opens up that type of player.
