Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Second hand (and about a week old) info so perhaps should not be taken as fact.
Klemmer release independent of Brooks. Klemmer assessing other offers and his preference is another Sydney club who are offering similar money as Tigers are for 24 and 25. They however at this stage will not pay full freight for Klemmer for 23 whereas Tigers will. Knights will not grant Klemmer release unless new club takes the whole of the contract.
Negotiations on going but the likely outcome will be Klemmer will see out his contract at Newcastle before moving on at the end of 23.
2nd most likely will be other club moves on a player and ups their offer for 23 to secure Klemmer.
And least likely Klemmer is here in 23.
Tigers are Klemmers preference however Knights will not release him without Brooks. Tigers are prepared to pay full freight for Klemmer 2023.
 
This is one of the big reasons not to sign Woods.

1. It's a waste of a contract spot.
2. Some rich dude is prepared to chuck in money to get Woods. This money should be used to get a much better player. This is the 3rd party contract.
Not sure you understand TPA's mate
 
The Wests Tigers can have no control over it otherwise its not a TPA.
Just to add for those unaware, TPAs are outside the salary cap as they are negotiated between a third party (eg sponsor/supporter) and the player.
Must be done by someone other than the club, coz if club gets involved it automatically reverts to cap.
Welcome to the land of the Roosters !

I've heard Klemmer's agent has spoken to Manly, Roosters, Parra, Dolphins and WT. He's in high demand, it's not cut and dried. He's building a new house on the water at Lake Maquarie so I don't think he's going north. That leaves 4. WT are offering most though, like you said, full freight. That sounds to me like we are very, very interested.

I bet you are right by the rules but this makes no sense at all. They are bringing him back to the Tigers so the Tigers have to sign him and therefore waste a minimum salary and roster spot on him.

I understand technically I might not be talking about the rules but I bet that isn't how every other club uses TPA's.

It doesn't really matter though does it. It's a waste of a roster spot.
