Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[earl]

If Pole loses his spot because of a Woods signing I'd be pissed.

I don't get the Woods signing. We have Klemmer, Pole, Joe O, Matamua, Stef, Twal, Blore & Seyfarth all looking for a spot in the middle for us.

I would prefer Seyfarth over Woods.

You could even add Asitasi James, Ma’anaima and Sione Fainu to the list.

We have Brooks in the halves who has struggled to make a positive impact his whole time in first grade plus two guys in Doueihi and Laurie who could have very limited first grade careers.

Surely we could use the spot for another player in a different position.

The only argument for getting him back to me is that props do get injured a lot. It's a tough position.

Unpopular opinion...

Don't mind the Woods signing.
He's depth and will likely play cup.
Get a call up when needed.

Sheens likes an experienced forward as depth- ala Ray Cashmere.

Woodsy will do a job when needed.
Don't care if he's fat and slow or yas don't like him.
Won't cost much and I truly think he'll be good to have around the club.

As long as doesn't get out ahead of the top 5 front rowers then I don't mind.

Klemmar, Stefano and Pole are definately. Twal in if Offa plays lock.


Rather Offa play front row off the bench though. Him and Pole.

Will accept Woods if he goes bald along with klemmer

1 year deal, with club optional 2nd world be my MAX offer

exactly i just cant fathom this thought on what sheens is thinking here

People are acting like we giving him a Josh Reynolds contract

No deal matilda or nothing.

So Aaron Woods was the mystery prop all the time? What a plot twist!

Please say it ain't so

Just heard on MMM that Woods is probably coming back to Tigers.

They would most likely know because he works there

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

You must be an example of fitness with that comment

Likely, and with a busted ticker too.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

OK Paws, put up some highlights from the last five years.

The only way I will be happy with us signing Woods is if he is to play state cup for the season. Spend his final year on minimum wage running backwards into tackles for the Magpies.

Well Glen that news just put me in a bad mood, why waste a spot on the bloke that shat on the club

I know what you mean but then I imagine you'll be in a permanently bad mood with Sheens and Benji coaching us?

couldn't have put it better myself. the bloke loves the club and clearly played with passion and drive that he lost the second he walked out. bring him back and I guarantee you he will show more in a handful of games here at WT than what he has away from the club in the past 5 years.

he's certainly not worthy of a spot in our first choice 17 but he'll get his hands dirty if/when he gets a call up.

Man I forgot that he actually was a good player once upon a time.

He was so good at times. He carried us and that was when we had Tedesco.

He also screwed us over when he was captain and left while trying to sign up other Tigers players to the Dogs. His slow play the balls and poor defense became more of an issue as well post leaving us.

If he does come back he needs to put on a few kgs and get rid of that ridiculous haircut
He’s only 31 there is still a lot of footy in him he would be a great reserve grade captain and back up for first grade when needed

What could make a player turn on his club like that?

The supposed Woods signing only makes sense if for instance sake Twal is expected to still struggle with ongoing head knock issues. Or we are shipping out someone else, otherwise we are blocking guys like Pole which for a development club is an issue.

if its a mentor role for all the young Dev props and back up for the NRL side that sounds good. If it stops a young prop progressing through..it would be a step backwards.
