The Wests Tigers have demanded star duo Aaron Woods and James Tedescoย make a decision on their future in the next 24-hours.

The Wests Tigers released a statement to members outlining that the club had met with Woods and Tedesco's manager on Tuesday and during that meeting, had imposed a deadline of Friday for a decision on whether the pair will accept the contract offers currently with them.

With speculation that Woods has all but committed to the Bulldogs already and the Sydney Roosters hunting the signature of James Tedesco, the Wests Tigers might find that they are left with only Luke Brooks of the "Big Four".

Mitchel Moses has already signed with Parramatta for 2018 and is still hoping to be granted an early release to join the Eels this season.
