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

[Cultured_Bogan]

I remember when Prince went back to the Gold Coast, yes the public meeting he had with the Gold Coast officials wasnt a good look for him but he was open and honest from day 1 of his contract negotiation what his intentions were and there was next to no chance him staying even though we resurrected his career. He can still walk into Liechhardt and Campbelltown and be treated like a hero. Unfortunately for Woods, he's destroyed that privilege forever.

I hated that he played 2006 in a dinner suit, but I can cop him coming back for 2005 reunions and being interviewed about his time with the club. He earned the right to do that.

Sheens
Potter
Taylor
Cleary

4 coaches, learn to count you turd.

Hahahaha lmao ay….
The idiot said 5.

Garbage interview.
Dumb headband.

They are counting Andrew Webster in there too even though he was the interim coach

The media have done it from day one - before the Cleary appointment

So Technically 5 coaches is correct lads

Woods said 3, not 5….

Have the Tigers publicly commented on this interview, and if not do you think they should?

I know Pascoe is on league life this week and will obviously be asked but thats not really a statement or comment of sorts.

They're on a hiding to nothing so they will take the high ground and won't say anything. Woods is still contracted and still the captain, the Tigers were saying nice things before that interview and nothing will change.

There is no upside to spite

 

[Seantice]

no dont comment. He is a narcissist. It wont get through to him that he was wrong on some accounts..

The fans know. If anything this has validated there taking the contract offers away. A line in the sand has started and I for one am happy about itn

This is the thing I can't understand about Woods. The only thing that matters about footy is the opinion of the fans. The media can try all sorts of angles at a given moment, but the media always moves on, only fans look back and remember the legacy of players.

Nobody quotes interviews or newspaper articles years down the track. Nobody remembers the pithy contributions of James Pooper or Buzz Slothfield.

Clearly from this thread, and from what I'm hearing at the games, Woods has alienated 95% of this clubs' fans. At the start of the year at least half the fans would have stepped up to support him, even though he had his detractors about being an over-rated footballer, they would have supported his commitment to the club.

Woods has undone all of this, absolutely drained any supporter good-will in the space of 6 weeks. Tigers fans don't want him to stay around, Bulldogs fans don't want him to come around.

Doesn't matter how right you may indeed be, how justified your actions are, if the fans dislike you, you've gone about things incorrectly. Popular opinion matters in sport just as much as it does politics.

If Tigers fans disown you, then maybe they are just upset you are leaving, or the manner of it. If Bulldogs fans want to disown you, your legacy to date probably needs some serious consideration. If the wider NRL supporter fanbase calls you out, you've lost the game, you are clearly out of touch. You can try all the PR you want, but Woods will be booed at every remaining game this year, unless people get bored of it.

So doesn't matter Woods' justifications for his decision, he's lost us, he's lost everyone. Even Farah, as bad as his exit was, at least most people still liked and respected him, even if he didn't handle it great. Woods has thrown a grenade into this one, it's an absolute mess and the only loser is him.

Well said…but somehow the Moses PR machine will get Woods out of this current predicament

No he won't. Woods name is mud with everyone. Tigers fans, Dogs fans and neutral fans. They all think he's on the nose.

I don't have Fox so please pardon my ignorance. I hope the Pascoe interview is with someone other than Hooper.
Hooper grilled him (and totally disrespected him) on MMM and personally there'd be no way I would agree to be interviewed by him.
That being said I think Pascoe will be professional in the way he answers questions.
It's one thing for us as fans to vent on this forum and social media (or for some of us choose to boo at the game), it's another thing for the CEO - he has to be measured in his response and take the higher ground. After all WT is a business and the stakeholders include fans, current players, potential recruits, staff and all the sponsors.

League Life is an all female panel, and their interviews are well presented and debated. I think that this is the best program for the CEO to appear on, as he will get his chance to speak without everyone trying to speak over the top of him to get their own opinions/agendas heard.

I thought that the interview on the weekend was actually the Moses PR machine in operation attempting to restore some integrity to Woods' badly tarnished image. All he has succeeded in doing is damaging Woods' image even further. He has been badly advised.

Thanks. Should be interesting

I think its coz **_hes quoted in the media saying lots of conflicting things_** and people are getting sick and tired of the whole circus
I hope he stays but not on the $$$ gossipped about

Do you reckon Woods has actually been contradictory, or just the media ran off with some comments?He said these on the weekend:

Woods declared last week he would only settle on a new contract once a new coach is in place at Concord, and the latest developments hadn’t changed his thinking.
“There’s still no certainty with what’s happening. I still stand by my comments. I didn’t say sack JT or anything, which I think has been misinterpreted in the media,” Woods said.
“All I said was JT was off-contract, I just want to know who the coach is going to be. They want me to sign a long-term deal. I’m not going to sign where there’s no certainty of what’s going on.”
The NSW State of Origin representative reiterated he had no say in the demise of Taylor, but was open to lending his opinion on his replacement.
“They can (ask) if they want, but at the end of the day, it’s their decision,” he said.
“It’s out of our hands. All I did last week was ask who the coach is going to be and that’s it.”
\

While the off-contract players want to know who will be coaching the Tigers before committing to the club, they insist they aren't part of the plans to recruit the coach.
>
"I don't want to know because I keep getting dragged through everything," Woods said.
>
"No one believes what I say. It is what it is."

Yes….very contradictory

 

[innsaneink]

March:
"I don't want to know because I keep getting dragged through everything," Woods said.

April:
“Like I said 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.

He's just a flog end of story, I honestly would prefer not to see him grace our jersey for the remainder of the season.

Ahahah here's something to lighten the mood.

 

[Fade_To_Black]

You can be guaranteed Woods will dog it tomorrow night and not appear. He hasn't handled any of this like a man, can't see him growing a set overnight and facing the music on NRL 360.

Lara Pitt absolutely loves to put the boot into WT, not sure what her agenda is but I honestly can't remember the last time she said anything apart from bag our club. She's a Drags fan so maybe she still has the sad's from 2005 or something.
You watch her go all-out to make Pascoe and WT look like dirt and the "traitorous 3" to be the victims in this saga.
