THE Wests Tigers are on the cusp of landing the most important signature in the club’s recent history with captain Aaron Woods closing in on a new deal.
The joint venture club needs to make the deal happen to kick their 2017 campaign off on the strongest possible note after their round one demolition of the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
In what would be a massive boost for Wests Tigers’ legion of supporters, Woods is believed to be close to agreeing to a four-year contract that will all but guarantee the front row forward remains a Tiger for life.
There are still a number of sticking points which will need to be resolved before the club can announce the deal but it is tracking positively.
Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe has been working constantly behind-the-scenes to try and get the deal done with the club captain and local junior, who is not only the Tigers’ leader on the field but also the most popular figure at the club.
With Woods expected to commit to Wests Tigers long-term, negotiations with young gun local juniors James Tedesco, Mitchell Moses and Luke Brooks are also believed to be tracking positively.
All four are extremely close friends and regarded as essential to the future success of Wests Tigers.
Dubbed the “big four”, Woods, Tedesco and Brooks are all Balmain juniors who attended Holy Cross College in Ryde, while Tedesco is a Campbelltown junior who over the last two seasons has established himself as one of the NRL’s elite fullbacks.
Talk of a deal for Tedesco being done has been doing the rounds for the past month. All four players share the same agent, Isaac Moses, who refuses to comment on negotiations.
As one of the first players picked for NSW and the Australian Kangaroos, Woods, 25, has virtually carried the Wests Tigers forward pack single-handedly for the past three seasons.
A Leichhardt Juniors junior, the deal is believed to be equivalent to Woods’ standing as a current international forward.
