Woods extends

Woods isn't the way forward by any means but who replaces him? Some of the things he did every game he did very well and is needed in an NRL side. It's like we are relying on someone like Hunt to step up and take the main prop role. Won't be Tolman, won't be Fifita, won't be BHU. Hunt's got the size and the promise but he's about as green as they come. Not much else in the offers.
Cools, a potato could replace him.

The middles we have for 2021 are:

BHU
Hunt
Finucane
Rudolf
Williams
Tolman (likely).

McInnes will likely start in the 13.

Graham and Nikora will likely hold onto their edge positions.

Williams had a big year, I'd be moving him to the 10. He improved markedly this year and doesn't have the defence or leg speed to defend on the edge.

A bench with BHU, Hunt and Talakai worked for us in 2020, no reason why it won't in 2022.

Cools is right. No one is arguing that Woods was the answer but he has to be replaced with a big body at starting prop. At present we are light on up front.

With the current squad assuming Finucane starts at prop one of Williams, Toby of BHU starts. BHU has the size but lacks work rate and better from the bench. Toby is raw and inconsistent. Williams has been good but is he going to be able to take the pack forward in the first 20 minutes at his size.

I like Royce but he has essentially missed a season and is inexperienced. I suspect Mooney and Fitz will sign another prop to start and look to develop the other middles.

Absolutely we need a big boppa. We needed one this year. Unfortunately we had woods

Cools is wrong.
Woods is worse than some greenhorn who at least has a dig.

He nothing very well. Nothing.
Passes more than he hits it up.
Won't run hard.
Dodges tackles.
Lazy.
Nuff said.

Cools didn't argue that. He said he wanted Woods gone but that we need a replacement.

We are definitely one prop short as it stands with woods gone. Hopefully he is replaced with a big angry, intimidating type. Paul Vaughn would have filled a hole at probably a good price too.

We were 2 props short this year with tolman and woods playing. Throw some cash at mark nicholls, he's the only half decent one without a contract next season.

He is a Saint that Nicholas....

Prick is only 100 or so days from getting his fat carcass down the chimney

Where will he end up?
Seriously, if the tigers take him back would be a miracle. Talk of Melbourne??
Maybe he and Duges go into business together doing a rugby league podcast about flog antics. Sell merch and lob on radio somewhere
