Not excited or agree about Woods and Dugan staying on, even at reduced rate. Ok Duges at a reduced rate and being 18th man works as he's good cover but is he going to be happy with that.
Woods at any reduced rate probably means he's in the 17 which I am not a fan of - with Uele, Rudolf, Hunt, Pele, Fifita for another year and Tolman could stay on I think we're stacked there.
I know we may not be excited for Dugan and Woods, but we have gone from a very old squad stacked with leaders like Gal, Lewy and Ennis, to having a super young squad and dropping way down on that leadership group.
Woods for his ways, is still a respected player, a good squad and locker guy and someone of value.
I think having him for 2 more years whilst Vasquez, Pele and the other young props properly develop will be beneficial.
If one of them takes a giant leap during his tenure, then he will have suitors in the NRL and ESL for his services and will be easily moved on, especially on a reduced contract.
As for Dugan, he will be perfect in the 18th man role for our backs. Someone to cover form dips, pre game injuries or late withdrawals.
He is a handy guy to have, for the reasons mentioned about re: Woods.
