Woods apparently offered 1 million a year for 4 years by Dogs

[Shredder]

Just back a bit -

JT didnt create this disaster - this broth has a much older cook.

From Sheens raiding the 20s, bring players into 1sts faster than expected is where I see it kicking off. He also didnt have a hand in singing young fellas.

Potter didnt have time to f**k anything up - and Taylor spent his entire time with us getting rid of Robbie.

Something noone has mentioned - do we have someone specifically looking at signing juniors? That is an integral part of any club - and Im not sure we do.

 

[Tiger05]

I think we've gone backwards with Taylor. The only positive is that from next year on we've basically had a clean out depending how we handle the the recruitment and retention we have to do right now.

Listen to Woodsy here. Is this honestly a guy that we want at the club. He really doesn't even sound like he wants to be here.

 

[Shredder]

Agreed we have gone backwards - All Im saying is that the rot started a long time ago.

Sheens saw the Tigers as his empire and treated it as such.

When Woods was on NRL 360 and they asked him about Cleary it wasn't a ringing endorsement. He just said he had no real opinion and had never really met him or talked football with him. He didn't sound Keen,

I rate Woods, but not at a million dollars, although is there a source for this? Woods will stay for the same or less and it would take a significant amount for him to leave.

Be assured wherever he ends up, he will say "Good Footy" at least 3 times in each interview he takes part in.

 

[Tiger05]

Maybe that is just the way he talks. He definitely is a good footy player and I want him here. I'm not sold that he wants to be here or that he is a good example to other guys in the club.

I get the impression that a lot of guys just care about the money and that is it. Maybe that is the way of the game now.

 

[Shredder]

If hes never met the guy how could he have a strong opinion about him"

 

[Tiger05]

I get what you are stating. It's just that he doesn't come out and state that he wants to be here. I get he doesn't have an opinion on Cleary as a coach but then why doesn't he just state that it's not about the coach when it comes to signing.

I want him to stay at a fair price.

 

[Shredder]

Yeah 100% agreed with you.

And if talk of McQueen is right at $400k then Woodsy probably between $500 and $600 is fair in my book.

Probably cause his mate Payten misses out.

When I was watching that was exactly what I was thinking. It was like he didn't want to endorse Cleary as that may affect Payen's chances.

Just my feeling, but if that was the case I am glad for Cleary to get the job.

Isaac the dickhead swindler Moses presides over a client base who r a bunch of overpaid over-rated hollow ingrates!!

It's a +ve sign re the improved judgement of our CEO & board that 1 of dickhead Isaac's underlings Payten hasn't been considered for the coaching job.

Hopefully Pascoe also sticks to his guns in negotiating with dickhead Isaac re the big 1 + 3 hoaxes!

Crazy,you made me laugh..
every 2nd paragragh is "we/i just want to play good footy".....hes very poor when interviewed..
He said he didnt realise Dogs were willing to pay 1mill........
His comment was...
"only found out when i was having a feed with me mrs"..saw it on telly"....hahahaha

 

[Tiger Woody]

Crazy money. Especially considering the Dogs have a decent enough pack, but a terrible spine.

Don't get the Woods hate though. He makes well over 150m a game, while the rest of the pack make nowhere near that. Who makes those metres once he's gone?

Sure, he doesn't have the aggression of a Fifita or JWH, but he's a workhorse prop not an impact prop. Those blokes have nowhere near his motor.

I dont think we hate Hillbilly
Hes worth 600k MAX..........McQueens getting 400k so woods is better no doubt.
Every team needs someone doing the hit ups.....so keep him
But our pack needs aggression...Hillbilly is a plodder at best.....Nobody in our side scares anyone....
If he doesnt accept 600k let him go...he can be replaced.
But be assured Hillbilly,you wont be captain at any other club...

I believe that has been the root of the problem for over a decade. We jagged 2005, and that convinced everyone that attack was the way to go. However the nrl listened to all the rich clubs who got toweled up in 05, and changed the interpretation of the rules allowing wrestling and holding down, all that shit. We did not adapt to this and have had a weak, small pack ever since. I can not remember a hard, intimidating forward for ages, mabe ellis was the closest?

We've had big forwards in that time, they've just played like total pillows.

...& the softest of all the pillows was the pathetic slug Galloway !

It's good to see Peter Tunks stand up for some of the younger guys at the Bulldogs saying he would rather his under 20s props then Woods for 1 million a year. Quoted on radio. "When tigers needed a leader in the second half what did woods do, NOTHING." Finally someone who works in the media actually watches tigers games and can see he is just a star man with no impact playing for money.

Everyone else especially fox sports make Woods out to be the reincarnation of Arthur Beetson who does no wrong. Just because a guy is a regular doesn't mean you can't say he is in poor form.

I'm a passionate tigers supporter I rather have a young guy who wants to play for tigers rather then a guy who is trying to get a better contract elsewhere there mind isn't on the job. Talk of tedasco now. Even the last 2-3 weeks he has been a bit off but I can forgive him cos I think he plays behind players who aren't that standard.

 

[TheFrog]

No prop is worth a million a year.

 

[umina panther]

No prop is worth a million a year.

Petero proved that. Our worst signing, yeah he went ok but he was on JT money
