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

[smoking_gun]

This is a bit of a fairytail at Tigerland… We are terrible at building a roster, plus with history as the only true gauge, quality players dont seem to want to come to the club.

What if all we can attract are worse? Does it become a big deal then losing your best prop?

My point exactly.

If/when they sign packer matulino vete or players of similar standard woods will be a distant memory. Tigers problem isn't top quality players they have a few of those it's the depth to go along with it. I mean just look at the bench and team named this week.

If we think a player like Packer is going to improve us then we are fried. Woods isn't a great forward or Captain,and I couldn't care less if he goes, but he's better than Packer.

Yeah. But packer is gonna give u good out put for about half the price and allow tigers to make more signings in other key areas. I'm kinda getting over trying to explain how the majority of clubs evaluate players but all I can say is that I'm glad fans aren't in the position to decide on who is paid what.

 

[tigerap]

Why don't the Tigers just concentrate on keeping Tedesco give him a 5 year deal

Why? Our offer is more than generous. If he wants to be elsewhere, fine as we are here to support WTs not one player.

Yeah his offer from the Tigers isn't getting matched by any other club no need to increase it

Then what's the hold up COP of Ye other offer for sure

Woods or Vete, Packer and Matulino.

Ill take the latter. Woods is on too much money to keep.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

I gotta be honest Woods has been an embarrassment to the club as captain this year.

Yes he is good prop and a likeable style of player however he carried on about direction and coaches and that got JT fired. Turns out he doesn't want to stay anyway.

Please Aaron step aside from the role it its your announced your going to the Dogs.

Pretty low really. Even if they didn't want to admit it, you know the club were trying to bend to them by bringing in their horse whisperer, and I have no doubt that at least part of the reason why JT was sacked was an attempt to appease them after their comments about wanting to know who would coach them. The club genuinely believed they were doing the right things by these grubs.

As Moses would say 100%….

these so called big 4 started believing there own headlines and I have no doubt been mis guided by the grub of a manager they all share. Brooks has stayed cause no one else really wanted him, Woods has been the biggest disappointment in the way he has conducted himself on and off the field, Moses is an over hyped spoilt brat, Teddy just wants to be in a wining team... sadly none of them have any loyalty to the club, us fans and the other WT player they called mates... the only one who will really kick on is Teddy providing he doesn't breakdown

Jeez , some people have short memories.
You must think that players have memories as short as yours
All these blokes were given a clear lesson on club loyalty over the last two seasons.
So pleeese don't run the old loyalty crap out again. There is none towards players, so don't expect any back.
Players that we are chasing , probably remember our version of loyalty as well.

If we can get by with Matulino, Vete and Packer plus Ava then let's do it. We have JJ and Tatola in NSW Cup so there is plenty of depth.

I don't care if we replace Woods, , but Packer is getting near the bottom of the barrel,
He's ordinary. And I don't care if he's free. We've got enough ordinary players now. We don't need another one. . So give us your pearls of wisdom as much as you like. It won't change Packer into a better Prop.

No Eddie , he is the perfect fit

You seem over it Happy like the players.

Distanscing yourself from the club at every opportunity.

Maybe your name should be unhappytiger

Fan loyalty toward players is overated as well. How quickly do we get over a player that has seen better days- cant get rid of them quick enough Cut throat business and players more than ever are in it for themselves.

If they display any loyalty at all it appears to be toward each other and regardless of the club they play for.

If your embarrassed to follow us maybe you should have a spell. Like the players might do you good!!

:wink:

No Eddie , I'm starting to think a true club supporter should start holding this club to account for every screw up they make and why they do nothing to change it or when they do change it choose the worst option

Cleary won't be the answer , no playing talent = no Finals

No finals will mean another sacked coach and more potential strutting around this club like they are King Muck who couldn't cut it at a real club

No doubt the Mods will get sick of my rants sooner than later ….

Then I'll become one of the lucky ones , banned from the bus

Your saying Cleary was the worst option?

Withdrawing Moses deal was a poor option?

I think we have made some good moves this year.

Why can't be be like Canberra or Penrith and rebuild.

Yes fans have a right to put heat on this organisation and let them know we are not happy.

However I also think we need to stick solid with Cleary and look forward to a new culture with different players.

I'm saying it wouldn't matter who the coaches were , could be a combination of Bellamy ,Hagan , Bennett and Cleary

no quality players

 

[Eddie]

Quality coaches attract players mate.

Even Sheens attracted the likes of Hodgson, Prince, Payten, Whaturia in the space of a couple of years.

 

[teddy23]

Well I hate to be one of those people with the "my mate told me that…."

But I've been told by a very reliable source (inbox for name) that both Woods and Tedesco have not signed anywhere yet and none are in COP.

I've been told that Woods is likely to sign with dogs, but hasn't signed yet

And that Tedesco will likely stay at the Tigers, money is too good to refuse, but if we get put on show against doggies and the next couple of weeks continue to not show any improvement don't be surprised if he changes his mind.

Matalino is in COP period, as is Milne.... things can change with Milne as he might backflip if he gets some first grade into him at dragons, but they don't have long

Enquired about Hopatate and Vete

Take it as you want, it doesn't bother me but this is what I've been told.

 

[Curly_Tiger]

Time will tell Teddy123 but hope your mate is on the money, hanging onto Teddy01 a new centre and prop, it's not a bad start. Thanks for the tip

 

[Champs05]

teddy 23 - I hope your source is right, I will go to sleep in hope Teddy 1 stays. Not worried about Woods. Greatly overrated,but a nice boy.

 

[bigsiro]

Let's not sugar coat it any longer.
From reading these forums it is apparent that most fans don't want Woods as captain and a great many don't even want him at the club.
I am certainly one.
I am no crusader but this thread has almost become a "Woods Out" campaign - and rightly so.
Woods is a good player but a rubbish spokesman and advocate for our club. Let alone captain.
Like I've said before, if people thought we were like a sinking ship, then this guy is the captain of the Costa Concordia.
