Aaron Woods ???

With Keppie, Aloiai, Taupau and Paseka that means Woods would be coming here to play Blacktown. Would he take that at this stage of his career? Well he might not have a choice. I've been told Boyle has been told to look elsewhere. If Woods is a Boyle replacement then its a great idea.

Add De Luis,Saddler,Sipley and the fact JakeT is basically a Prop,there is no need for Woods,especially if the game stays the way it is that allows Walker to play in the middle

Woods is Boyle's twin - both plodders and very very average.

There might be room but we do not need to swap one plodder for another older plodder!

I'm ambivalent,I like the fact that he was a Manly fan when he was younger but I don't like that he's almost an old age pensioner.

Aaron 'shoods' go to the super league
The way Walker has been playing in the middle and given he gets a full off season there he could push Jake into the front row on a permanent basis.
Seriously!!! This seems a very strange call to me. I simply cannot see an upside? However, if this (Woods) is want Des thinks we need, then so be it. I don't get it, and I don't like it, but I will no longer question it either. Good luck to Aaron if he signs.

Yeah, can't imagine what he could possibly add!

Natalie Woods...according to Dennis Hopper in his biography "You can **** me but I don't move"....that's what we'd be getting.

yes - would be a horrible pick up - wow surely not. Then we will probably offload Marty because we wont need him anymore with Woods... arghhhhhh

I agree, Woods for boyle is a great move. Woods on his day can be pretty effective. Trust in Des!

What would you rather have, Boyle, Woods or a dose of the clap? You can get treated for the clap.
In Des we trust, of course, but as the game gets ever faster, why would we sign a guy who has the pick-up speed and turning circle of the Titanic?
The only possible scenario where I could see this as a "win", and I use the term very loosely, is if Marty goes, and Woods becomes our older head, at a much reduced hit to the salary cap when compared to Marty.
Now, that scenario is not my preference, but who knows where the salary cap is at?
