All the "haters" (Christ I hate that term) are even more justified in bagging this traitorous slob after his disgraceful effort in that interview. Why do people have to build a bridge and get over it when this goose flat-out disrespects our club, while he is still it's captain no less? Things ain't gonna get any easier for Woods from WT supporters from now on that is for sure. Has really shown himself to be an ungrateful, classless flog.
When he stated "I got along great with JT" he most certainly didn't say he wanted him to remain as coach. The way he is carrying on as if he was shattered when JT lost his job is laughable.
On a sidenote: that chick headband that he wears is just plain embarrassing TBH. My oh my…....

Departing skipper Aaron Woods says Wests Tigers officials didn’t contact him after Jason Taylor’s sacking

A SILENCE as deafening as it was staggering is what ended up driving Aaron Woods from Wests Tigers, the only NRL club he had ever considered calling home.
In the past two days Woods has told his teammates he is off to Belmore, busted a groin that has rubbed him out of the Anzac Test and been booed by the Leichhardt faithful as he limped off the treasured turf.
But a stunning 15-day impasse following Jason Taylor’s sacking is what pushed the bloke with Leichhardt’s 2040 postcode tattooed on his backside to the brink.
In an exclusive interview with Fox League, recorded prior to the round nine loss to Cronulla, Woods claims he did not hear a peep from Tigers powerbrokers between Taylor’s sacking on March 19 and Ivan Cleary’s naming as his new coach on April 3.
Throughout a contract saga that has engulfed the Tigers and cost them their three best players, Woods says the club’s lack of support when endless speculation dismantled the fan is what finally broke his resolve.
“Frustrated is a big word, I just felt let down a bit,” Woods says.
“We’ve had three coaches in the whole time I’ve been at the club.
“And recently since Jason Taylor got sacked, it came out publicly that us four players were the ‘big four’ at the time, with everyone was saying that we got him sacked, which is a complete lie.
“The board and the CEO make the decisions. We just play football. That’s it.
“I didn’t get any support, I hadn’t heard from the club for three weeks from anyone at the club.
“I felt a little bit let down. But I’ve moved on, the club’s moved on.
Woods created a stir when he declared he wanted to know who the Tigers coach would be before he committed to the club.
When Taylor was axed five days after his skipper’s comments, Woods was linked to the sacking, a suggestion the bearded prop still bristles at.
“We didn’t know who the long term coach was going to be and at the same time they wanted us to agree to a three of four-year deal,” he says.
“I don’t know who the boss of my club’s going to be, who my coach is going to be. It’s a hard thing.
“They want me to commit long term. It’s my future, I’m 26, by the time that contract runs out I’m 30\. It’s a massive decision in my life and you just want to know.
“That’s all I asked. I didn’t go out and say sack JT. I liked JT, I got along with him really well.
“At the end of the day the club made the decision, then once it was done it was pretty much the four players had made the decision. Which was a complete lie.
“I hadn’t heard anything from the club in three weeks. The captain of the club, you’d think they’d at least give you a text to see how you were going.”
Since debuting at the joint-venture in 2011 and rising as the only local Leichhardt junior to reach NSW and Australian honours, Woods has seen it all at the Tigers. Which is saying something.
In a wideranging interview to be aired in full on Fox Sports News 500 on Sunday evening, Woods talks through how his negotiations with the Tigers broke down, the contract deadline he took exception to and the scary family circumstances around his infamous coffee date with new Dogs teammate David Klemmer.
While CEO Justin Pascoe and chairwoman Marina Go have copped endless criticism as the club lurches from one off-field issue to another, Woods is now wearing abuse from the very fans that once revered him, and he still adores back.
But the soap opera is what simply wore him down in the end. There was more money to be made by staying at Concord. Not that the Bulldogs $3.2 million, four-year offer was mere chump change.
And none of it made his call to walk away any easier.
“It was one of the hardest decisions of my life,” Woods says.
“I’ve come to terms with it now. If you had have asked me at the start of the year, I would’ve said ‘mate, I’ll be a one club player at the Wests Tigers’.
“I’ve never looked at any other club. I’ve always wanted to be a Wests Tigers player, I’m a local junior.
“But things happen and things out of my control happened. I had to go and make a decision that was best for myself.”

what irritates me is he is using Tedesco's excuses for leaving
1) Too many dramas and distractions with Tigers
2) Wants to play finals footy, sick of it for the last 8 years
Not like he didt get ti play SOO and for Australia
Does that mean he is quit NSW Team because we have been getting beaten by QLD ??

Questionable interview.
I think it all doesnt add up.
Is woods trying to shift blame ?
Hes leaving the club, why?
The club didnt support him.
They asked people not to boo him.
Hes a deadset joker and a snake.
I honestly wish him the worst.
The deepest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers.

I think the club would be well within it's rights to take the captaincy off him. Not sure any other clubs would keep a bloke as captain that has fully disrepected the club whilst still representing that organisation.
Have lost all respect for Woods. Could have just left our club with his dignity and respect intact had he so chosen, but no he chooses to leave on bad terms with the club and it's supporters.
I have never seen a dumber person, let alone footballer in my life.
What a deadset pathetic individual.
On you go to Belmore you dog. Every dog has their day and yours will come.
You'll fit right in there, you grub.
As if it wasn't bad enough the way he dealt with leaving the club but now this interview. What an absolute pathetic person.
What does the media have to do with the management and the board. The club can't manage the lies printed in the media. What a pathetic excuse for leaving.
Dog.

I see this everywhere, and maybe I'm completely blind - how has Woods 'betrayed' WT? If it's because he's leaving for another club, then does that mean every player who leaves a club is betraying them?

What a coward
Waited until this Leichhardt game was over to release this…with 13 weeks until the next LO game, maybe he thinks the heat will have died down by then

Mate, u watched the news lately?
This guy is not genuine, disloyal and untrustworthy.
He has led us on for weeks.
Hasn't had an honest word out of his mouth in ages.
Dancing around, lying and carrying on.
Wouldn't confirm or deny.
Hes a deceitful snake.

Go read some of the posts on the forum. You will see no one is having a go at him for leaving per se. Its how he has conducted himself and badmouthed the club. You okay with a captain bad mouthing his club?

Would love the club to come out and say that is a lie, that is not how it happened, that would be priceless

Would love that other flea-bag that was once ours- Tim Simona- to tell all in regards to who the other players were that allegedly took cocaine with him on that WT boat cruise. Would be sweet karma if it turned out to be Woods, Moses and Tedesco. That would throw a cat amongst the pidgeons!
Woods is a CAT not a DOG and this interview confirms it…full of lies and contradictions....He NEVER wanted to be a one club man, the interview is designed to shift the heat back onto the Club...we can see through that Woodsy you GIRL...Saying he hasn't heard from anyone at the club in 3 weeks...what did he expect, breakfast in bed served by Go and cooked by Pascoe?....The only person from the club who should be speaking to the players is the COACH....He is a dog of a player and a weasel of a man....I'm over him and I hope the BOOS continue till be gets his sloppy ass outta here

Woods is a grown man he says he's made the best decision for himself fair enough. I have always found it far easier to admire a man who sticks with his roots through thick and thin and who is interested in being part of a rebuild of his old stomping ground, who sees friends, fans, teammates in need of strong characters when the chips are down, they are usually salt of the earth men who strive the make their patch of the world even better. Oh well Aaron best you go to what you see as an easier life, most Wests Tigers supporters and members are used to tough times but we keep toughing it out no worries. I look forward to better times ahead. Go you mighty Wests Tigers through thick and thin.
