Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

To be fair we also had a good crack 2 other seasons outside of 05.
Sheens just knew how to manage the administration TBH.
Benji started his early interviews around how much of a focus will be on managing the administration. I don't think any of the other coaches had any idea about this.

Be wary man - he also had the ceo sacked that tried to have KPI’s in his contract and hold him accountable…

No discussion, no negotiation - sacked!!

And who would you have selected?

They actually selected Craig Bellamy at the start, but he declined. You can only choose from the candidates available to you.

Wayne Bennett agreed to join Tigers but would not leave prior to seeing out his Broncos contract, and we needed a new coach that following season.

Assuming Taylor and Potter are the "bad" coaches since Sheens, I am not certain who the alternative candidates were at the time. Potter did alright with the Bulldogs 2022. Our next selection Cleary is about to win his second premiership in a row. Madge has won a premiership before.

Slim pickings otherwise I think.

That's not an apologist position either, it's just a consideration of each decision as it was made at each point in time.

Bellamy didnt come because he demanded silence{W Bennet told him its a good way to test integrity of a club}the great benny alias leaked the news and stuffed that
 
The 28-year-old was given a private tour of the Tigers’ impressive new Concord facility last week as they try to lure him to the joint-venture club. The Tigers are considering offering Klemmer, who at his peak was considered the best prop forward in the competition, another two years on top of his contract for next year.

Sources with knowledge of the situation told the Herald that the Canterbury Bulldogs have also expressed interest in Klemmer returning to the club he debuted with in 2013.
The Newcastle Knights are open to releasing Klemmer from the final year of his deal even though he won the club’s players’ player award at the their end-of-season awards night.

The Tigers are adamant Klemmer’s potential arrival at the club is not part of a swap deal for halfback Luke Brooks, who at this stage remains a key part of new coach Tim Sheens’ plans next year.
The Knights have been circling Brooks for the past 12 months but the Tigers haven’t budged. They rejected release requests from Brooks’ management last year.

Brooks is coming into the final season of his four-year deal with the Tigers. The contract was designed to gradually increase in salary each year, with the embattled No.7 set to earn almost $1.1m in 2023.
Sheens has a big decision to make during the summer as he mulls over his starting halves with Jackson Hastings, Adam Doueihi and Brooks all contending for two positions.

The Bulldogs have also shown interest in Klemmer’s services, however they will have to offload players to accommodate the former NSW and Australian forward in an already stretched salary cap.
Like Brooks, Klemmer is in the final year of a four-year deal with the Knights. His final year is worth about $800,000. He joined the Knights from the Bulldogs in 2020, but is open to returning to Belmore despite leaving on a sour note under the club’s previous administration.

Phil Gould and Cameron Ciraldo want to bring back some Bulldogs DNA to the club and have discussed Klemmer’s return. It comes as the club signed off on a 12-week train-and-trial contract for cult hero Josh Reynolds.
Reynolds, who is the godfather to one of Klemmer’s four children, remains close friends with his former teammate. Klemmer’s position at the Knights was placed under the microscope towards the end of the season when club powerbrokers privately manoeuvred to have the front-rower sacked for an on-field verbal altercation with trainer Hayden Knowles.

Ivan said he would honour his contract and Coach us in 2019. Wayne said he would come in 2020. Pascoe pulled the trigger by saying no to Bennett and Ivan, and hired Maguire. Another sliding doors moment for WT.

I would welcome the signing of Klemmer however what would worry me is if Sheens decided to take Thomo off the dogs which would then allow them to sign Klemmer.Klemmer is by far the better of the two for us imho
