Front-rower Aaron Woods will make a mid-season switch to Cronulla Sharks from Canterbury Bulldogs.

The deal has been done for the prop to play for the Sharks this Friday in Auckland and he will be named in Cronulla's 21-man squad on Tuesday afternoon.

NRL.com understands Woods will fly out with the Sharks to prepare for his first game in the black, white and blue.

It is understood the Bulldogs, Sharks and Woods's management came to an agreement on Tuesday morning and Woods is believed to have taken a pay cut to join the club for the remainder of his contract which runs until the end of 2021.

Neither club has officially announced the move as yet.

The 27-year-old has represented Australia 15 times including at last year's World Cup and made 14 State of Origin appearances for NSW, and played 14 games for the Bulldogs after playing 146 matches for the Wests Tigers between 2011 and 2017.

Hopefully got him for 300k or less. Good signing with Williams out now.

 

[Eion]

Ok, well, good onya woodsy. Be interesting to see how it goes.

 

[Griffoshark66]

He's a pretty reasonable prop to have in the rotation. Rip in son. Prove the haters wrong. That's what sharks do.

 

[Special K]

Woods also took a pay cut to join us from 800 to 650 and the dogs are kicking in on that 650. Can't complain

 

[Inferno]

I wonder if he can play somewhere in the backline.

He's currently got two Origin props ahead of him...

 

[carcharias]

Not a bad rotation if he plays his best.
Get Barba next

 

[Feej]

Get Barba next

I reckon if Barba comes back, Holmes is gone.

 

[fizman]

This is a magnificent signing!

Look at what Flanno has done with Snowden, Fifita and Prior - at 27 years old he will be just starting to come into his prime.

Secondly, he is not the main man in the forward pack which will take the initial pressure off.

He will be motivated to play Semi Finals football for only the second time in his playing career.

 

[carcharias]

I reckon if Barba comes back, Holmes is gone.

I reckon he is gone anyway

 

[Feej]

I reckon he is gone anyway

You think? Maybe. I'm not as critical of him as I once was, though I just wish he would understand that he's one of the best *wingers* in the game and forget all this FB stuff.

I think cowboys will get him.
Doubt he’d go anywhere else though.
Them or us.
However
He might look at Bird and think staying is the safe option.

Snowden?? Before Flannos time

 

[Generalzod]

In regards to Woods you know what they say a change is as good as a holiday,

 

[Go Nulla]

Done ... will be announced Wednesday AM.

You’re welcome. Just a day earlier than expected. I hear the dogs got nervous st the end of negotiations.

He has been on the holiday from hell so far this year

 

[bad boy bubby]

You’re welcome. Just a day earlier than expected. I hear the dogs got nervous st the end of negotiations.

Would've been so they could name him in the side this week

 

[Differ To The Coifed]

Always loved him.

 

[Eion]

I reckon he is gone anyway

I’ve heard similar from a good sauce. Don’t want him to go.

 

[Eion]

We’re going to have some offloads in us with gal, feef and now Woods. Benny would really be nice in that setup.
