Woods is a good player, he just has a bad rap for being a pillow and his laziness or lack of focus at times is really disappointing and getting tangled up with all the defenders tackling him can slow a teams momentum in getting to the next ruck
As for our style fair point but I think if a slow undynamic forward like Tolman can slot into this Sharks squad and do a good job Hazleton can.
There will always be a need in rugby league for basic go forward and tackles regardless of how a team plays with the ball
Woods used to be a
very good player
Now he's barely hanging onto a bench role in NRL
He found a style that suited him and suited the game at the time and used it to get 17 Kangaroos jerseys and 14 NSW jerseys.
He was a standby player for NSW and a nominee for Dally M Prop of the Year in just his second year of NRL.
Victim of increased prevalence of wrestle, and game went away from that style (even more so now), and he started to fall off. Tie that in with not being great laterally anyway and he fell off a bit of a cliff compared to what he used to be and is still sliding.
The Sharon hair, adapting faster to changing game and his ability to find ways to not just miss but miss by a mile when he does all contributed to people having a worse view of him than they may have otherwise. Throw in trying to milk
everything on both sides of the ball...
Defintiely his own reputations worst enemy.
