Its interesting with Woods. They can shop him around but he doesnt have to go anywhere. They have offloaded Mybe, and the Morris boys wont be resigned. They probably may need to offload one more but clubs wont do them any favours and will probably be more likely to target Klemmer.
Foran is the real problem. He is so busted dont know what he is on but his best is way behind him.
If I were the Dogs Id move Moses on now. Get Carney on minimum wage till end of year and partner him with Foran. Their problems are in the halves there forwards have been doing a good job.

Agreed. The Dogs won't have as much blowback from signing Carney.
Foran, whatever is going on with him, he would benefit in having someone else drive the guys around the park.

Have we brought Mbye yet? Surely the dogs can squeeze Carney in now?

Mbye deal is from 2019
No early release

The Woods situation will drag on a lot longer than the Ebye one. Unless some team gets an absolute bargain.
It will make great watching from where we sit.

From a source I heard Mbye was only a 5% chance about 10 days ago ….

Then they'd just have a pair of busted halves. Carney is hopeless now and has been for a couple of years…

If Woods comes back, no damn horse whisperer please.

I think that would be a pre-requisite of signing.

If Webhe is sighted within 500m of Concord he'll be shot on sight.

Chain him up to the same post as that grubby manager of his

I would imagine relations between Woods and Isaac Moses could be rather testy. I believe it is the role of his manager to suss out the politics within a club. Directing Woods to the Dogs with what was going on within would always end in grief.
 
Why would Woods hate his manager.

He is still in first grade and getting paid very well.

All clubs ebb and flow

Let's see…

- He advised him to leave his junior club for more money elsewhere
- Gave up club captaincy for "stability"
- Strung incumbent club along while trying to organise to get others over with him on package deal
- Now the new club is in a shambles
- Fans of his new club hate him
- Fans of his old club have lost respect for him
- Lost rep jumper
- New club already looking to shaft him
- His footy has suffered
- His old club is travelling well without him

So Moses was a E-bye?

A managers top priority should be to look after their clients best interests. I don't think you can say Issac Moses did this with Woods. Woods seemed poorly advised. It worked out well for the WestsTigers but badly for Woods.

Exactly. Even if the only thing Woods cared about was money he still wouldn't be happy because he's lost out on his Origin coin. Moses was just looking to make as big a commission for himself in the short term as possible. That is not good management in my view, although some people seem to think it is fantastic for some reason…

So they signed Woods in exchange for Graham and Kasiano but might still lose Woods. Plus they punted Reynolds for Foran and look like losing Mbye. What a fiasco!

What do you think the chances are of Woods coming back? Is it likely?

Hard to say. Possible not certain. Obviously that leaves a lot of space.

We need a quality back rower before a quality prop at this stage

With Arthur on the skids at the Eels, the thought of an under pressure coach bringing in a high profile signing on a big contract will play out exactly the same as with the Dogs' debacle. I cannot imagine Woods agreeing to that destination.
