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

[newtiger]

I am probably in the minority here but i do believe that we will miss Woods badly.We needed to strengthen the pack around him as he is/was the mainstay of our forwards,there is no doubt he was a poor choice as captain but his performances on the field as a player were 2nd to none.
I can only hope that his replacements can fill in the hole he has left

Agree. People turned on Woods for obvious reasons and it wouldnt have mattered how well he played.Cleary and Meninga backed him as captain and Pay has stated he is in the frame at the Bulldogs - lost our fans as soon as it became clear he was moving on. All history now.

What I will temper all of this with is the cost. I didn't want Woods to leave, and despite what everyone says he's still one of the best props in the comp.

But if we got Matulino and Packer combined for approx the same cost, then good trade. Same deal with Tedesco if we picked up 3 backs @ $300K, good deal for Tigers. We don't need $1M footballers with this roster, we need a spread of talent and depth.

Agree. If losing Teddy, Moses and Woods meant that we were able to spread the cap more and obtain some depth I am satisfied with the outcome. Having these high paid players did nothing to help us secure finals berths. I suppose we will all know whether it paid off come the first week of September in 2018.

Like JT these 4 players should have taken WT to the finals.

Maybe so, but unlike JT, I don't think any of them were capable of it. Clearly none of them were leaders. They all had the expectation that it was someone else's responsibility. That's why they left.

ET has to be our captain. Leads by example and is as tough as they come.

Yeah we also need winners and those two were our only “winners”

And as there's bugger all in the on field leadership stakes, I have to agree with that

Wonder how the Dogs fans will react to the news of his dickie shoulder? He is set to needle up for the RLWC final.

Not much of a sense of humour over at the kennel.

Haha so funny

 

[Spacecub]

Heard from one of my work colleagues who is one of the groundsmen at belmore sports ground that Arron has aproached Bulldogs management seeking a release to return to the tigers…..this is 100% apparently

 

[diedpretty]

We wouldn't pay what the dogs are paying him.

 

[tiger05premier]

Surely they would pay a fair chunk

Wonder if it's for this year or next

 

[HabboTiger]

Not sure how I would feel about this. If only he left more quietly

 

[wmlmaster]

If this is true, would the Tigers take him back? If so at what cost?

 

[Strider]

Out of the players who left, I would take Tedesco back. Not Woods after the way he left.
