Parramatta and Manly are fighting a two-way battle for Sharks prop Aaron Woods - and could even get him for the remainder of this season. The Sharks have told Woods - a former NSW and Australian front-rower - that he is free to leave at the end of the season. Plenty of clubs have shown interest in the big man, including strugglers Brisbane, but Wide World of Sports is hearing that Woods is tossing up between the Eels and Sea Eagles. And if a deal can be struck in coming weeks, Woods, aged 30 and a veteran of over 200 top-grade games, could be playing for his new club in the finals. Woods' departure is part of a massive changing of the guard at Cronulla which will also see veterans Shaun Johnson, Josh Dugan and possibly Andrew Fifita leave the club. Another long-serving star, Chad Townsend, has already left, making a cameo with the Warriors before joining the Cowboys in 2022. The departure of the big names - who are also on big money - will give incoming coach Craig Fitzgibbon plenty of cash to splurge on a new-look team next season.
