NRL Leaks is back with all the latest word on player signings, club drama and potential retirements.

AARON WOODS KEEN ON CRONULLA

Aaron Woods has told his closest friends that he wants to join Cronulla for one reason - to play finals football under Shane Flanagan.

In a sign of respect for the Sharks, Woods views the Shire club as his first choice - should the Bulldogs squeeze him out.

Woods has played in one finals series - seven years ago in his debut 2011 year - and recognises that under Flanagan, the Sharks have missed just one final series since 2012.

The catch is, Cronulla are only interested in signing the former prop at their price - and it's nowhere near the $900,000 contract Woods is currently on at Canterbury.

The Sharks would only be interested in paying half that figure.

SALIVA HAVILI TO RE-SIGN WITH CANBERRA

Watch for some signing news to come out of Canberra.

Back-up hooker Saliva Havili is set to be rewarded for his outstanding job to cover the loss of Josh Hodgson by signing a new two-year deal.

WHERE TO FOR ROBERT JENNINGS?

Tonight's clash with Cronulla is an important game for Souths winger Robert Jennings.

Following the Rabbitohs re-signing of centre Braidon Burns this week - of which NRL Leaks told you would happen last week - the club's salary cap is running dry for outside backs.

The Bulldogs have made inquiries into the price it would take to sign Jennings.

JOSEPH PAULO’S CONSISTENCY TO BE REWARDED

Watch for the Sharks to announce the re-signing of Joseph Paulo in coming weeks.

One of the most consistent forwards for Cronulla this season, Paulo's versatility has proven invaluable during an injury-troubled year for the club.
