He has never let us down on the field, is always one of our best. If he was playing like Kev or Grant every week, I could understand the criticism of his play. However, the hatred of him because of the whole contract debacle has spilled over into hatred of the way he plays the game, which is just plain wrong, imo. Despite his mistakes off the field, he is a good prop forward and always has been.

He was MOTM because he pumped up, he was angry, showed the booers how committed he is to the rest of the year. The boing did him good, he showed some pump.

Wood$ is scum. Pure and simple. He showed nothing to me out there today. None of those traitors deserve any respect from any Tigers supporter.
He is also a completely overrated player.

While they wear our jersey they are OUR players.
If they leave, then I won't give a rat's.

Very good game by Woods, 218 m from 18 runs, 26 tackles 1 missed tackle WOW, 100 m more than our 'semi gods' 2nd rowers. He totally outplayed the most feared props, he run 60 m more than Graham and 100 m more than Tolman, and 120 m more than Kassiano WOWO WOW WOW.

I'll support them if they treat the club and the fans with respect. These guys haven't so I don't support them. I still support the club and want the team to win.

Pure stats don't make a man of the match. He was made man of the match so Channel 9 could ask him how it felt like being booed and keep the booing story to lead their sports bulletin. That's how it works. Either Nofa or ET or even Brooks could have won for their LEADERSHIP alone.

While the booing isn't my thing I did have a laugh when he was getting booed by both sets of fans
@ said:
218 metres three or four players on him every tackle is not bludging . Ava played well too.
Woods has had shreds torn off him all week his commitment questioned he had a great game for us to day and represented the jersey in the best way possible - booed and all.
@ said:
Woods is contacted for this year and many on here have actively said they are glad that he has not signed and is moving on. His commitment to the team has been questioned - today he answered that the best way possible. If the coach and players think he shouldnt be the captain I would most definitely support that too.
But if plays like that for the rest of the season before moving on he will be serving the club and the coach well.

**Wests Tigers chair Marina Go says it was disrespectful of fans to boo Aaron Woods**
>
Wests Tigers chairwoman Marina Go has pleaded with club fans not to disrespect the likely departing players after skipper Aaron Woods was booed by his own fans on Sunday.
>
The pre-game team announcement saw a number of fans turn on the Tigers captain, venting their frustration over his decision not to take up the club's offer before last Friday's deadline.
>
"They shouldn't be booing our players," Go said. "If these guys choose to leave, our fans shouldn't be disrespecting them like that. I don't think they should have booed them."
>
Woods, who was awarded the ANZAC medal for man of the match, was given permission by coach Ivan Cleary not to front the post-match press conference.
>
However, he did speak to several radio and television networks on field after the game, admitting he wasn't fazed by the booing from the fans.
>
"It's sort of footy. The thing is I haven't signed or agreed to anything," Woods said. "It's all speculation at the moment. They were all right during the game. We have the best fans – they are just passionate. Just keep coming, we will keep turning up all year … we will keep ripping in."
>
Woods was heavily criticised for meeting up with Canterbury players in the lead-up to the game against the Bulldogs.
>
He is, however, close friends with David Klemmer and Josh Reynolds, regularly catching up with players he has represented his state with in the past.
>
"I can't even go to a local coffee shop and bring one of my best mates some baby gear because he had a baby last week," Woods said. "The timing wasn't perfect but it is just rubbish. Klem is one of my best mates, I am a groomsman at his wedding. Grubby [Reynolds] is a family friend of my wife as well. It's a bit disappointing the way people look at things but it is what it is in this day and age.
>
"It's good to just get the win. It's been a big couple of weeks but the boys keep ripping in at training. To get that win is good for the spirits."
>
It's been an emotionally draining season for Woods, struggling to deal with the burden of seemingly never-ending contract negotiations. While he insists he hasn't agreed or signed a contract, it seems a foregone conclusion that he will end up at the Bulldogs next year.
>
"It's been a bit tough. I tried to not read in the media as much as I can and focus on the game ahead," he said. "It's probably going to continue for a few weeks and I just have to get through it. We haven't made a decision on our future yet. The media made it for me without us confirming it."

Cleary said it best. We pay our money, we're entitled to boo whoever we want.
