The Bulldogs are happy with Woods' contribution to the club, however there's been a realisation that their cap is too heavily invested in forwards when it's clear their problem is in the halves and backs.

They just realised? The average under 10s coach could spot that a mile off.

Yeah everyone seemed to see it except them, lets not forget they also signed Woods with Graham still signed with them.
 
Dont want Woods back and would disagree quite heavily that he burnt his bridges when he decided to do his foot in mouth tell all interviews.

There was talk that was one of Woods provisos of signing, that Graham would be there. So he was dudded from day one. Seriously, could this move have backfired for him any more spectacularly than it already has. On the bottom of the ladder at a team whose about to release one of their marque players because they are a mess to the team he left because he thought they were a mess. You can”t make that stuff up. On top of that he’s most likely going to lose his Blues jumper.
 
Woods wanted to go to a well run club that would play finals footy I suppose they are well run but their been run into the ground we could make their semi final hopes that little bit harder with a solid victory on Sunday come on Wests Tigers put them out of their misery.

Do you mean run as in excerising? Seeing as how they are offloading key players and signing nuffies in their place due to their cap, you can’t mean anything else. As for finals, they’ll be lucky to avoid the spoon let alone be in finals contention.

It sounds like an obituary to Woods' Bulldogs career and an invitation to WTs.
 
I hope we aren’t paying 700k cause that’s overs

Would’ve been happy with 500k

Reynolds and Moses Mbye both on 1.45 mil combined a season

Don’t get me wrong I’m a huge Cleary fan but I’m sick of hearing the “Cleary wont spend overs on one player” but we’re paying massive overs for both those two big time imo

Hope it pays off but oh boy for 1.45 mil we could do a lot better

Unbelievable signing if true. Only 24 years of age, has speed to burn, can play fullback or 5/8, can kick goals. For $550k an absolute bargain. Well done Ivan , doing things our previous coach could never dream off.

The previous coach didn't have the money or the resources at his disposal to even think about it! 2017 was always marked down as the year our purse strings were finally allowed to be opened - up until then, we could only window shop and bargain basement buy.
 
If Mbye is a done deal , does anyone else see the talk about Woods meaning a swap with JREY, we have plenty of halves, JR has left the Dogs physically, but maybe not emotionally, same could be said about Woods and the Tigers, MM is the only exTiger that I would Never have back

Interesting idea…
Would be a bit silly if it happened but wouldn't be opposed to it.. Jr has done nothing for us really.

Who's next for us
Taupau
Jayden Su'A
Or Mariner
All 3 players are a possibility of leaving their clubs
Taupau salary cap problems at manly
Su'A looking for offers now
Mariner salary cap problems at dogs
Which one would best suit our club

Won't get any of them (that's reality).

You cant say that for sure
We still have positions available
We still have money to spend
How much is the ?
And we have players coming off contract which will give us more money to spend
Does Ivan invest in no name players or is he after a proven player that can step straight into the team
What other clubs still have the big $ and are lacking 2nd row forwards
No one knows that for sure AT THIS STAGE

I'd bet vital parts of my anatomy that none of the 3 players you mentioned will be playing for the Tigers next year.

DOGS NOT OUT OF THE WOODS YET

JUST 12 rounds into his career at the Bulldogs, we’re hearing the club is prepared to release Kangaroos and Origin front-rower Aaron Woods if another team are keen. We’ll watch this one closely as there are a number of clubs on the lookout for quality props.

Interestingly, board member and former coach Chris Anderson appears to be entrenching himself in much of the negotiating with players who have been told they can look elsewhere to ease the enormous salary cap pressure. We spotted Anderson having coffee in Cronulla Mall last week with fullback Moses Mbye and his agent.
