AARON Woods has represented NSW and Australia, but in a ringing endorsement of Jason Taylor he says he’s learning to play football under the new Wests Tigers coach.
“He’s come into the squad and introduced a lot of new structures in attack and defence. He’s just simplified a lot of things and the way he gets his point across, I’m really impressed with him,” Woods tells RLW.
“So far we’ve gone all right in the trials and hopefully we can take that form into the season. We haven’t focused on one thing, we’ve done a lot of work on everything.
“I look forward to going in for training, I love it. They’re long days, but I love being in there because I’m learning how to play football and it’s just so exciting.”
Woods said he had experienced playing under coaches who sometimes erred by making things too complicated, but that the Tigers knew exactly what they were supposed to do and how to do it under Taylor’s direction.
“Oh, definitely, some guys can be under the pump and they’re trying to tell you a million things at once,” Woods says.
“But it’s been all smooth sailing with Jason. He structures the whole session. Everything we do on the field is specific and he tells you exactly why we’re doing it. It’s really good, I really enjoy it.
“He keeps it simple and the young guys at the club are like sponges, which really helps. It’s awesome.”
