Gordon is 34 this year. If the Salary cap comes in lower then expected at 8.3 mil there will be a 100 players on the market.

Hope Woods enjoyed his team tactics lunch with the Bulldogs players. Good to see him focused on this weekend, Who do we play again.

Paps has a slight frame that needs building up before coming into NRL,he went off on the weekend with a knee injury,I'm not sure to what extent,possible ACL maybe,but it didn't look good.

Yeah you're not wrong

I just think he's lazy & has a poor attitude and that's not what we need ATM. Still think he has ability

Woods or Ben Matulino ?

No brainer. See you Woodsy.

I think Woods left the Tigers mentally a while ago and there will be no dragging him back. Not that I would want to.

We would have been no chance of getting Matulino if Cleary wasn't our coach.

I'm actually loving this club at the moment. I just hope the board rubber stamps anything Cleary wants.

Agreed. Enough of this "nurture the junior talent" mantra that has got us near on f**king nowhere for 17 and a bit seasons,
.

Have to agree, I believe the Raiders have withdrawn millions in funding from their juniors as well. Much like us, there is so little reward for it.

At the very least this shows poor judgement. Meeting with players from another team you are rumoured to have signed with just days before you are scheduled to play while you are captain? Surely they could have waited until next week when the announcement is made.

Get off the bus you overgrown, hillbilly looking, poor talking, bad leading, ball dropping pretender!

Statement from the club seems to suggest both Woods and Tedesco are gorne.

Woods must be stripped of the captaincy ASAP and, hopefully, shunned to reserve grade for the rest of the year.

Wests Tigers Members Statement

Wests Tigers would like to provide Members with an update on the current playing contract situation of Aaron Woods and James Tedesco.

The club met with Aaron Woods and James Tedesco's manager on Tuesday.

During this meeting Wests Tigers informed the players’ Manager that the club is imposing a deadline of Friday 21 April for a decision on whether they will accept the contract offers currently with them.

Wests Tigers have made very competitive, long-term, contract offers to both players

The club understands it is a difficult decision given their standing and familiarity with the club and understands that Woods and Tedesco must make the decision that is best for them and their families.

As soon as Woods and Tedesco make give their decision to the club we will inform the playing group and then the public. Certainty is key to moving forward and performing on the field, and we are looking forward to having that.

I think we are probably going to want to get a decent fullback as well as a good half now. Woods doesn't even need to be replaced.

Tough pill to swallow losing Teddy but i'm pleased the club's finally getting shit done now that Cleary's here. Rebuilding starts now and the sooner we have an idea of who's on our books for next year, the better.

Not the end of the world guys!

Warriors recruitment manager Tony Iro said the club had made Matulino an offer and were waiting for a decision on whether he would stay.

"We haven't heard that so that's all I can say on it," said Iro.

"He's told us he hasn't (signed with Wests Tigers) so that's all I can go off.

"He told Mooks (Kearney) this morning (that he hasn't signed).

"We've made him an offer so that means we want him to stay but at the end of the day that will be his and his family's decision."

Matulino's manager Steve Gillis could not confirm the Tigers deal and said his client's future remained up in the air.

"He hasn't committed anywhere," said Gillis.


LOL poor matts, it must feel like admitting to his mates that he sleeps with fat chicks.

I'm serious. Offloading this overpaid and underperforming bum will be great for us. This is the best move the guy has made for the club in ages.

Tigers should drop all 3 players who signed elsewhere. Refuse their release requests and have them rot away in reserve grade.

With any luck it f**ks their Origin chances. They really screwed the club over. They have a good coach. They have huge offers and long contracts. But arent willing to repay the Tigers and help be part of the rebuild.

Scum pieces of shit. All of them. Farah and Benji atleast bled for the club.
