He's just a fatty. Bloke should just retire, best for himself and best for the club.Eastwood looks far from fit..... wow he needs some km in his legs if he wants to make first grade

I dont think thats anyones decision but his tbh.He's just a fatty. Bloke should just retire, best for himself and best for the club.
Not true. If the doctors flat out say no you aren't playing then he simply isn't playing. The club can also refuse to play him if they feel there is enough doubt, Parra did it with IDG last season.I dont think thats anyones decision but his tbh.
Thats not what i meant. What i meant is that it doesnt matter if you or i think he is fat or lazy, because if the doctors clear him and he wants to play, then he will play. His decision.Not true.

I think so mate, think it might be that Sharon Woods chick?That sheila on the left in the first photo, is she the first signing for our women's team?
He's cut his hair now to about the same length as our legend Geoff Robinson had in his playing days and Robo was a pure beast !Is it just me or are all the jokes about Aaron Woods being a girl with long hair getting boring?? I think he will be a great signing, who cares about his hairstyle. Big minute prop with a great selective offload. He has had some great rep games and some poor ones but at NRL level he has always been class.
Im just glad you didnt say our legend Raelene CastleHe's cut his hair now to about the same length as our legend Geoff Robinson had in his playing days and Robo was a pure beast !
He was fat even back then. Don’t know why you are so obsessed with EastwoodThat's Eastwoods body shape.. Even a decade ago he was pretty solid.

Exactly my point. People make out he’s ballooned our all of a sudden.That's Eastwoods body shape.. Even a decade ago he was pretty solid.

I saw a dressing room photo of him last season and he had a 6 pack. I doubt he will ever play more than 5kgs lighter than he is now. He's just a big bloke. I really hope he gets over his heart problem because I think this year he is going to be the beast of old. He doesn't have the Des plan confusing him. All his old mates are now retired and he probably thinks he has another contract in him so with 100 kids to feed and a new coach who understands forward play I just think he will go really well.Exactly my point. People make out he’s ballooned our all of a sudden.
He’s played first grade and for his country for a long time.
Clearly fitter than he looks
Unfortunately the game is quicker now than back then. Hope he proves me wrong but he's apparently taking up a massive amount of cap space.That's Eastwoods body shape.. Even a decade ago he was pretty solid.

Would you play him at the expense of someone like Tualau?I saw a dressing room photo of him last season and he had a 6 pack. I doubt he will ever play more than 5kgs lighter than he is now.

If he comes back with his head screwed on he is still one of the most damaging forwards in the game - so yes I would. He's only 30, has been an international and offers plenty - if in the right head space. I like Francis even more than Danny F. Those 2 and even RFM promise to deliver good footy. We already know Eastwood has. It's just a matter of whether he can do it again. If you want an example of how a coach can change a player look at Mitchell Moses. I didn't think he was worth 2 bob playing for the Tigers. Goes to the Eels and within 7 days he looks like a world beater. Can't underestimate the power of confidence that a coach can give. I am hoping, more than knowing, that the change from Des to Dean will have the same effect for a few of our players, Eastwood included.Would you play him at the expense of someone like Tualau?
I would definitely not pick a 30yr old who has had 0 good games in the past two seasons. Tualau and Fualalo are more than capable footballers. I would reward them and incentivise them with spots in the starting 17! Eastwood sucks balls. The difference with Moses situation is that Moses has ability. I do not think Eastwood has ability, he did, but no longer. Time for the young guys to fill that space.If he comes back with his head screwed on he is still one of the most damaging forwards in the game - so yes I would.

Gents show some class, some of comments in this thread about Eastwood are in poor tast. He has bled blue and white for nearly a decade and just gone through a traumatic time, fair go!I got a good feeling that Eastwood is going to fire up this year.
Hasler ruined him like everyone else.
Will be interesting to see which way it all pans out. One thing is for sure though - players don't lose ability. They may be out of form and they may be injured but they always keep their skill.I would definitely not pick a 30yr old who has had 0 good games in the past two seasons.

Please do not insult one of the all time great Bulldogs players. Robbo didn't have a girly haircut nor wear one of those girly combs in his hair.@Mr Invisible @chisdog @Nate DAWG @Doggfather192 @Moedogg @Bulldogs09 Is it just me or does Aaron Woods remind anyone of the great Geoff Robinson from the 80s???
