So apparantly we are trying to move Woods on which will create a hole upfront in our roster, meaning we need to recruit another prop as we dont have any other capable props in our roster, or any juniors ready to step up
The media report we are paying Woods 900K a year which is 'overs' but comparing to other props that have moved in the past year:
Shannon Boyd who has been very inconsistent signed with the Titans for 2.4mill over 4 years so 600K/year
Junior Paulo another inconsistent prop signed with Parra for 800K a year
Matalino & Packer both are reported to have signed at Tigers for 600K a year
Good props are all going for 600-800K max which means we may have overpaid Woods by 200K going by market value which is 2% of a salary cap thats around 10million
There will be several issues if we let Woods go. We will need to recruit a prop again but none seem to be available on the market (& Knights, Eels and Roosters are all looking for a prop also so there will be competition).
With the way we are going I dont think we are an attractive option for sought after players so we will need to pay overs anyway for any decent player we recruit
Im not convinced that letting Woods go is the answer, we will create another hole in our roster which has issues all over as it is
