None of us really know the details but from reading the tea leaves there was no need to swap anyone to get Klemmer. They Knights wanted him gone probably because they had too much money tied up in middle forwards.
We could have just let Brooks go and paid a premium but we had already backended his contract so we are paying that now anyway.
The reality is the club saw Brooks as being a better option than Hastings. So far that looks like a poor decision.
Let's see what happens over the course of the season.
