Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tom Shines]

As the Wests Tigers prepare to launch a club-defining bid for Jarome Luai, it can be revealed that David Klemmer has been floated to rival clubs in an attempt to remove his $750,000-a-year contract from the club’s salary cap. (DT)

Klemmer got 3 years left right ? 😆

Good luck moving him on guys

3rd year is a mutual option.

We talk about the Media giving us a rough time but us fans give just as much sometimes.

IMO the club is turning in the right direction and going after Luai, but they cannot win.. They get him and they "overpaid" etc.. / They miss him "They are a rubble, and no one wants to go there".

Yet Media keep saying we need that top line player and he fits the bill but not the narrative.

1 to 1.2mil for a Halves player that has won 3 Premierships, Played SOO and just at the age of going into his prime is a very good price with the Cap increasing. We clearly have lacked top line halves and just like the Broncos doesn't matter how good the others are you must have good halves to complete.

I don't think we will get him (hope we do) but at least we are trying and have some better halves this year if this fails.

By my count that’s at least three of our starting forwards who have been or are being shopped. And Luai will likely say no. It’s just a [This word has been automatically removed]ing shambles of an operation.

Luai for 1.1million a season isn't as bad as it initially sounds when you put into context that Brooks was getting 1.1mil a season on a smaller cap, and the cap will be higher again in 2024 and 2025.

 

[Canadian Club]

Club should offer Klemmer and another player in an immediate swap for AFB.

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Might be good option if tigers choose to move Adam Doueihi on at the end of 2024.

Offer them Nofo and Kepaoa as well… How could they say no?

Was our best forward week in week out, not to mention what he did for the so called young brigade?

Why does this club continually get rid of 1st grade quality players and replace them with ?????

Totally agree Tigertragic

I would be up for it and I think AFB actually would lift our side a little.

Would Bateman be willing to go? I think he is showing the right attitude but wrong performance.

Papalii hasn't performed, yet I could see him, Stef and AFB making a killer front row team. Which is what we want.

We might finally land a big fish with this one jonesy

In theory tigers gave up Hastings to get Klemmer , now 12 months later Klemmer is expendable ? Surely the ‘grand plan’ is once again confused

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Addin Fonua-Blake incoming.

Klemmer for AFB would be a great move
with a front row of AFB and Stef and twal on the bench

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Papali would be the obvious to NZ though

 

[Chipofftheoldblock]

Been saying this all along. Id be amazed if he has a FG career

I would send him over to England for a year in a loan swap to get top level experience. Dont ask me who for but IMO it would not be a bad idea.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Yep

With your eyes open , Hal ?? Because luai was fantastic on the field mate. You may not like his personality off of it , but he is an origin playing 5/8 in a team that has played the last 4 grand finals and won 3 of those so he cannnot be too bad.. you can claim it’s all Cleary if you need to but if he was no good then I’m sure they would put another player next to Nathan .. please do not let your own “feelings” guide your judgement about Jaromes actual football ability .. he is a gun, whether you like it or not

Much better option to move on than Klemmer.

I'd say certain dollar figures must annoy the recruitment team.

Klemmer is managed by Isaac Moses who's known to be a liar and a grub and he doesn't like us. Wouldn't surprise me if Moses has planted this story and it's made up
