‘Don't mention my son's name again': Aaron Woods fires shots after being labelled a ‘coward'
Former NSW Blues forward Aaron Woods has fired back at his Origin critics, weeks after his comments on Billy Slater sparked one of the most iconic State of Origin feuds. The Triple M host was the latest guest on Paul Kent's podcast Kenty Primetime where he revealed he later spoke to Slater's former teammate Ryan Hoffman. Hoffman labelled Woods a 'coward' on the ABC for calling Queensland coach Slater a 'grub' before Game 2 of the series this year.

I said, 'look you can call me whatever you want, just don't ever mention my son's name again with things that didn't happen', because Buster didn't get a photo with Billy.' Hoffman's comments were centred on claims Woods had asked Slater to take a photo with his son Buster earlier in the season before he later slammed the Origin coach to create an Origin narrative. The claim originally came from former Origin forward and NRL360 host Gorden Tallis who took aim at Woods labelling Slater a grub ahead of Game 2. But Woods has now clarified the situation with the alleged photo, which occurred at Magic Round while commentating for Triple M. 'We're up at the top boxes of Suncorp Stadium, I was going to take my little fella downstairs, Buster, because he was going to be a ball boy for the 3 o'clock game on the Saturday arvo which was Newcastle v Souths,' Woods said. 'As I was going down the lift, we were right at the back, everyone jumped in, then we get down to I think level 3, that's where the Channel 9 and Fox boxes are. 'Billy Slater rocks in with his producer from Channel 9. We go downstairs, everyone gets out, Billy's there at the front, I literally walk out, I walk past, I shake his hand, 'hey Bill', I say to Buster to shake his hand. 'Once he shakes his hand we walk away, Buster goes 'who's that Dad?' 'I go 'mate, he's one of the best fullbacks to ever play the game'. My young bloke is only five. And that is all that happened. 'So from that, there's only three people that would've said something to Gordy about that. So someone's dropped the lip and had a little complaint, wasn't too happy.' The entire ordeal looked to become a major talking point among league fans as Queensland rallied after the saga to come back and win the next two games and take the series shield back from NSW. The story blew up particularly with Slater's response in which he suggested Woods was unaware of the mental health concerns his words could have on people, controversially referencing late Maroons coach Paul Green, who suffered from CTE. It left Woods admitting he felt partially responsible for the whole situation. 'A little bit. I was so confident because Game 1 I don't even think NSW played well,' he said. 'To win up at Suncorp, to be up there in enemy territory and the way they played, I would've thought we'd go to Perth quite excited. 'You go over there and then the performance in that first half, I was just like 'oh my God, far out, what have I done here?' Just really stirred the pot.'

Wallabies intent on avoiding losing series 3-0 to the British and Irish Lions
Barbs that the Wallabies were unworthy opponents for the British and Irish Lions have the Australians desperate to avoid losing a series 3-0 to the tourists for the first time since 1904. Pride will well and truly be on the line in Sydney on Saturday night when the Wallabies attempt to prevent the Lions going home with wins in all three Tests after victories in Brisbane and Melbourne. That hasn't happened since it occurred 121 years go when the Lions, then called British Isles, won two Tests in Sydney and one in Brisbane, and restricted Australia to just three points for the entire series. If that's not enough motivation for the Wallabies to win at Accor Stadium, there is also the hurt of the second Test loss at the MCG, where Australia led for almost the entire match only be beaten 29-26 via a last-minute try that came after a controversial decision not to award the hosts a penalty for an alleged infringement by Lions forward Jac Morgan, who seemed to illegally strike Wallabies replacement Carlo Tizzano in the back of the net. It hurts but your support means everything ðŸ'›ðŸ'š We can’t wait to play for you again in Sydney. #Wallabies #ACheerAndAHalf #LionsTour2025 — Wallabies (@wallabies) July 27, 2025 Also driving the Wallabies to win in Sydney will be the pre-series talk that Lions should have toured South Africa to face the world champions rather than meet a weak Australia. 'It's another thing to add into the pot for things to get up for the game,' Wallabies lock Nick Frost said. 'We're definitely keen to rip in. Going out there, playing in front of your friends, for your family and for your nation, and on top of that, playing against the Lions – it's a massive game. 'We know there are so many things that we've got to improve on, but there are some really good parts to our game, and we're really looking forward to it. 'We're starting to play a better brand of rugby and a more attacking brand of rugby that suits some of our skilled players. 'The more games we can put together for longer periods of time, we're going to start to see some improvements on the scoreboard, and some more wins. It is a process.' Winger Max Jorgensen said while the Wallabies were 'gutted' to loss at the MCG, attention had switched to winning the final Test of the series. 'We put in such a big effort – it's a tough pill to swallow,' Jorgensen said. 'Everyone knows that, but there's a big focus on this weekend now and winning this game on Saturday.' The Wallabies have added prop Aidan Ross to their extended squad ahead of Saturday's clash, while winger Harry Potter has remained in Melbourne after injuring his hamstring in the weekend loss.

NRL Judiciary: Souths to fight Jack Wighton's controversial charge as veteran five-eighth looks to avoid four-match ban
Rabbitohs five-eighth Jack Wighton will front the NRL judiciary on Tuesday night after the club decided to fight a potential three-match ban that will be increase to four games if the panel finds him guilty. Wighton was hit with a grade 2 charge after he was sent to the sin bin for a shoulder charge on Sharks forward Toby Rudolf, who left the field and will miss a match after he failed his head injury assessment. Jack Wighton will contest his charge at the NRL Judiciary on Tuesday night after entering a not guilty plea. READ MORE: — South Sydney Rabbitohs ðŸ�° (@SSFCRABBITOHS) July 28, 2025 The veteran playmaker will challenge the suspension and likely argue that it was merely a head clash, with Souths hoping he can avoid a ban given they are already missing so many injured stars. Latrell Mitchell, Cody Walker, Cameron Murray and Campbell Graham were just some of the big names who missed the Sharks game, with Junior Tatola set for a stint on the sidelines after he dislocated his shoulder in the dying minutes. Five players were charged out of Sunday's fixtures, with Tom Starling, Ethan Strange, Toff Sipley, Siosiua Taukeiaho and Jaeman Salmon all facing fines if they accept the early guilty plea. Jack Wighton has been sent to the sin bin for this shoulder charge. ðŸ'° Watch #NRLSouthsSharks on ch.502 or stream on Kayo: âœ�ï¸� BLOG ðŸ'¢ MATCH CENTRE — Fox League (@FOXNRL) July 26, 2025 Meanwhile, Dragons superstar Teagan Berry is facing a two-match ban after she was hit with a grade 3 dangerous contact charge for sliding in with her knees as Broncos winger Kerri Johnson scored in the corner. The foul play resulted in a potential eight-point try and Berry was sent to the sin bin. It could cost the Dragons dearly, with the NRLW's greatest try-scorer risking three matches if she fights the charge and loses at the judiciary. The Sharks are also set to be without Jaydika Tafua for 2-3 matches after she received a grade 3 charge for dangerous contact while trying to tackle Claudia Nielsen.
