Woods signed on the 30th of April

The club is desperately trying to amend the mistakes of the past. They are building for the future

I'd suggest the ones letting the Wests Tigers down are the fans still holding a flame for guys like Woods.

Stand for something. Be better.

Brain aids!

Lol we just signed Nofo for 4 years and are looking to sign DWZ and apparently Sam Burgess. How’s that building for the future exactly? I’d suggest the ones letting the Wests Tigers down are the ones making those stupid decisions.

Wanting something different to me doesn’t make you more of a fan than me.

That's your argument, 1 re-signing of a long-term Tiger and 2 very shallow rumours?

Absolutely. The re-signing of Nofoaluma is indefensible. The fact he’s a long term Tiger is inconsequential. As for the DWZ one, the Pom said he’d probably be here by the Eels game. So unless you have information better than the Pom I don’t think I’d call it ‘very shallow’.

Oh The Pom said it, well, never been wrong ever before, ever.

So your argument is that the Pom is full of it? That he only pushes ‘shallow rumours’?

He said talks had escalated and he was a good chance of playing for us vs Eels.

Yeah he did, Im barking up a wrong tree (again).

My point is its ridiculous to generically bag a signing. DWZ on $800K pa is a disaster, DWZ of $150K pa is genius......in the middle there is a sweet spot.

He said dogs were chipping in $300-350k, reportedly on $800k.

If he does come back, at least I can take all the darts out of the inflatable woods doll

What else do you use the doll for
😬

Take it as a compliment, people thought it was unusual for you to be making mistakes lol. If it were me people would just think it was business as usual. lol

Take it easy, relax and re-charge. Things will probably look better in the morning.

Re the constant bagging of ex Tigers players, I don't agree'.

Teddy, Moses and Woods were great players for us, and at that time our club was a complete shambles. I would have left if i was in their shoes.
This is a professional game now,and the clubs would , and should move you for a better player. The player likewise should follow his career path or the dollars. How many juniors are in our top 30 ? The same with other clubs ! Very few players last more then 5 yrs in the top grade,(just a guess).

This club loyalty thing , is very thin in todays game.

Nup...theres a difference between not being loyal to the club that developed and invested in you vs orchestrating a mass exit of the clubs best 4 players and then being dishonest about it ,with the sole outcome being the club gets absolutely smashed for several years
..and as topspin got the coach punted ..again a campaign behind everyones backs
That was Aaron Woods.
Shld never wear a tiger jersey again.
..and btw..Moses was never "great"for us...just a work in progress.Still is...

Do you really think Woods organised a mass excodus ! You are delussional.

Yeah - Dogs were waiting for Woods to give the go ahead to talk to Teddy's manager. And Teddy was sweating on Woods to get him a good deal. It's laughable.

nothing to do with woods getting approval from his manager at all for the dogs, the issue the three at the dogs fell apart was Des did not want Mitchell Moses.
Teddy got Jack when his mate was not getting signed by the dogs with him and Woods and he did what Teddy does and that is backflip and join the Roosters.
Woods got stuck at the dogs and the rest is history ruined his rep career.
I would have Woods back on a modest deal he is better than Musgrove at least
Props
Tamau
Woods
Twal
then you have
Mikaele
Stefano
good depth

Tamou and Woods as our Props
That has wooden spoon all over it
There is not one ounce of terror in either of them
It would be like playing against kittens

We want props with attitude
Or at least I do
The only way Aaron would hurt anyone in a tackle is if he fell on them

 

[PJ_]

If he does come back, at least I can take all the darts out of the inflatable woods doll

What else do you use the doll for
?

It's got a woodsy head and it's mouth is closed.
Not much happening ?

My argument is to not pre-judge rumours before they are made official, and not to use rumours as part of an argument for or against something.

I appreciate POM's contribution to the forum. But also, some quotes from them to date:
>Also Cini still likely to leave the club but the spot would more likely be filled with a train & trial player like Tyrone Roberts-Davis

>McIntyre has re-signed (not sure on why it hasn’t been announced as yet)

>Aloiai & Blore just a formality now with their ext

>Garner going to Manly seems to be still a go but something is holding it up & not on our end.

>Madge had a phone conversation with Angus Crichton last week to gage interest, he’s seen as a top target for 2022 (Or 2021 depending how things play out at the Roosters)

>Here’s the latest with JAC: He’s accepted the offer put forward to him from the Tigers (Best $$ wise compared to others)... No idea where Bulldogs name came up into this, no formal talks/offers presented last check.

>Brent Naden’s terms for 2022 & 23 have been agreed upon, Talk ongoing to see if there’s a chance of getting him this year (made all more desperate now with AJ’s injury).

100% agree, some signings in the past have come out of the blue without even a word & others have been all but guaranteed & then completely fallen over. I’m no messiah, only share what I hear.

 

[finnzo]

Do we really want or need woods? I’d put Stefano in the starting line up before him Any day

Catching up.
Rumour?
Suggestion?
Or just a chin wag on the forum?

Talking about a potential signing that has been suggested?

No really. Someone said Woods was going to be off contract, or let go or something. It started from there.

There was a post about apparently we're still talking to DWZ.

Ok no worries I don’t get why I’m been targeted but haha every 1 is talking about woods
