The beating of the drums are deafening.


The question that needs to be asked is would he improve the team? Perhaps the forum experts can answer this question.

I'll ask for you: would he improve the team?

I seriously don’t know. Given his downward spiral, performance wise, after leaving the Wests Tigers I somehow doubt it. But I could be wrong.

It would take an absolute christmas miracle for this to be a good move

I think he'd contribute more off the field than on it.

It’s a no for me. Woods has gone backwards in the last three years

We would be stupid to roll out another pension cheque

@THE_POM @CCTW @tigerballs any updates??

Will be a good signing getting Woodsy back. No issues from me

I'm with you and he would come cheap... He would give his all unlike some others here

But his "all" is rubbish. We've got enough of that already.

Need to remember we would not be buying him as a top line player and paying him 700k he would be here as a bench player on around 200-300k. Lets be honest now he would be in our 17 every week on current stock and we have not brought anyone else for next year. We lose Packer, MCK, Maybe Garner or TM so out stocks are low and he would give leadership for the young guys.
Also remember there is not many out there that "WANT" to join us..
That's just my thoughts but everyone is different.

Prefer to get Tapau back instead of Woods

Well, don't lose Garner. Keep him. And, if TM is Tom Mikaele, keep him too. There is no upside in bringing Aaron Woods back to WT.

Understand and I would rather keep Tom M as well but I'm sure the Pom said they have offered extensions and hoped to have answer before deadline but if they do go we need someone. I would prefer Woods experience over Simpkins short term until he is up to week to week games.

Lets be real and say the way we are going even Woods would reject our recruitment team

The Wests Tigers version of 'are we there yet?'.

Maybe they have nothing, maybe there's displeasure at leaks, maybe they just aren't posting. I'm sure they'll post something when the time's right.

I think some good news is coming our way

Marata Nikore is off-contract, a centre who can tackle and can catch and hold the ball ?

That's crazy talk. What would ol flipperhands think?

He's not really a centre...

Good at the start of the season when parra were smoking bottom feeders. Still a bit slow for centre.

Big fan though, great interchange piece.

Looks wise? Definitely.

If we could get that look with the SOO period version of him I may reconsider my thoughts. Yeah, nah, ain't happening.

Backrower ay. Prob still faster than our centres tho

Gould spoke about Woods and said for the right price he would be a good buy. I have no issue with one of our juniors returning home. It would be only Nofoaluma and Brooks who had played with him still remaining?

He wants $800 big ones, not @ that price.

 

[TigerTone]

People can not be serious.
He left us for greener pastures.
Went to the dogs and got shown the door.
Went to cronulla and got shown the door.
Now people want him back here?
Get a grip guys , Woods is not what we need , he'll only make us go
backwards , same way he runs the ball for a hit up.
