Brandon Smith tees off on Aaron Woods’ NRL Vegas promo

[nayfo]

Thought Smith’s comments were bang on!

Cant believe they used Woods (one of the most overrated props in the history of the game) to sell our product to the US fans.

Journo says he might be in hot water and get a please explain from the NRL???? Seriously, for what!!

Smith does have a point.

What were the NRL thinking. Woods wouldn't look out of place in a Wiggles promo.

Billy Walters, Spencer, woods and Campbell graham??

what was wrong with JWH,Latrell,Turbo and Walsh?

“Good gig, jeez. How does Woodsy just … he’s a bit like you Woodsy, all the fingers in all the pies,” he said.

“And Woodsy would be eating a lot of those pies. Has he retired? He’s retired.”

“No, he’s still playing,” Graham replies.

“What? He’s on old man duties,” Smith fires back.

“Mate, why do you think he’s gone (to Las Vegas)? He’s the player representation of Manly,” Graham answers back.

“Good on him. He can talk, that’s probably why he got over there,” Smith said.

Probably unnecessary? Unless Graham's paying him $800k a year to do those poddies.

Comments about Sharon behind, he's a senior player and who knows what's going on there. Maybe he's the only senior forward in their team who's available at this time of year (can travel...etc) who can string two words together?

Does it really matter?

The yanks don’t know who JWH, Latrell, Turbo or Walsh are anyway…

I think it does. I think you might want to show the yanks who these guys are, and highlights of what they can do.

You can do something half arsed, or you can give it a red hot crack,but it looks like the NRL has taken the half arsed option.

Footage of Woods, who is on the verge of retirement ambling up to the defensive line, was embarrassing.
Looks like they have also screwed up the Hugh Jackman side of things too.

I'm not saying sending better or more marketable players would change the outcome or promotion drastically, but when you are trying for a slice of the American broadcast,gambling and marketing revenue, you would think they would try it, using the best we have in the game.

Smith should learn to shut his mouth. He's going to say something soon that gets him into so much hot water. Focus on putting in a shift all next season you nut.

Think he’s being a bit unfair on Aaron Woods. He probably hasn’t seen his highlights reel!

Can't be speaking the truth in this day and age....

[Random Rooster]

JWH and that stare at Cameron Murray.
JWH and the crazy eyes Spencer gave him at Penrith Park.
JWH charging onto the ball with no fear.
JWH going into a tackle full on to intimidate.
If hext level aggression is what you are trying to sell then that is what JWH is all about. Off the field he is a well spoken, dedicated family man

[Andrew Walker]

I’d prefer Smith just tee off on the field

[RoosterFanNZ]

yeah whoever is in charge of player marketing at the nrl dumbasses, chose the four worst candidates

Has anyone seen AW highlights reel?

I don't really care who is over there promoting the game.
Woods has played the game at all levels and apparently goes all right in the media (I haven't really seen a lot of his media work). It's better having players that can string a few words together and are media smart than some blokes that can play well but can't string two words together.
Also I prefer the blokes they have sent instead of stars who are in pre-season training, actually I would be fuming if they sent a few of our top players over reducing their pre-season training.

[DP1990]

Bloke just needs to shut his mouth and play footy.


I wouldn't be throwing shade at other players when you the "big marquee signing" sat out for most of the season this year since coming across.
