Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

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

It makes me sick .. this is not how a club builds a culture, professionalism, identity , players wanting to play for the jersey and going the extra mile because of the club and its people ,, this Pascoe clown 🤡 has no idea , this BS knifing people with contracts on a whim has got to end .. “Float “ Pascoe and Lee to other clubs,, see if anyone wants them,, we will pay full freight !

 

[weststigers]

both parties can agree to terminate the deal… but i don’t see it happening in this situation… Olam will be getting his three years at $600k

You might be right, but I never argued he would do anything. I was replying to an earlier post that you don't have to sign for the same term as the previous contract. Ultimately it's up to Olam. If you want to speculate about that, then it's a different discussion that I wouldn't bother commenting on

Tell Isaac Moses that who is the one doing the floating

Do you have his number for me?

Ok … yes in theory he could scrap his already agreed deal and sign a new one that pays him less money …

Cove Agency

Pity ‘the club’ was the ones that offered the contract and it was Sheens who repeatedly said that Benji was only getting the players he wanted.

Crazy

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

ding ding ding.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

The club wonders why it gets hammered in the media, if we’re trying to move Klemmer on 1 yr into a 3 +1 deal that is why. Klemmer has been solid for us hasn’t set the world on fire but I don’t think many expected him to.
Why would players want to come here, we’re only going to attract money grabbers and has beens and probably lose all our good juniors.

 

[tony soprano]

Exactly, it’s the telegraph, why is everyone just assuming it’s true

Yeh, but often a club will leak to the media when they hear another another club is trying to off load a player. Dirty tactics but happens regularly.

I’m so FvCking Over this club treating players like this .. show some gotdamn loyalty for once .. amateurs .. Klem has been all in , totally professional on and off the field, our management needs to be “floated” FFS :. A contract is a contract and they need to stop leaking this crap, and to stop doing it .. we are a freaking laughing stock that never ever stops with the nonsense. I’m over it .. start acting like professionals with some ethics and integrity for gods sake !!! Klemmer is a tiger now and he should stay one !

Who says it’s true?..

DT makes up crap all the time and when we look like getting some support by way of a link to a good player they always have to look for a destabilising position for click bait.

Klemmer was solid last year and another year should see pole step up and Dave can come off the interchange. Costly to the cap but we have cash not quality

Look forward to good times ahead, not what we have all dealt with for so long

Fair comment

This happens though when you change coaches every 18 months…

Sheenius wanted him and signed him … Benji gets stuck with him

Would be my first forward picked every week!!

We move on about a tenth as many players as The Bulldogs..

He was out of gas by Round 12

It's all part of the game.
Every club does it.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

At least we haven’t barred any players from training.

That’s because we’re not overly successful at it, the issue I have with it and it was the same with Joe O. It’s the fact we sign these players on long terms and try to move them on early in their contracts.

 

[Bigscreentv]

Agree, Klemmer was good and I don’t think Stef is ready to lead the pack. Pole is a prop, correct?

 

[balmain boy]

Wasn't he only contracted to Knights til end of 23? If so, whatever he is on now Tigers would be paying full freight.

No, he was contracted till end of 24 and they are subsidising him considerably. This rumour is just crap.
Klemmer on 450k is a bargain. He was easily our best prop last season. Even then, his third season with us, when we are paying full freight is only 600k. Possibly overs by then but he's still a very solid player and if that's what it took to get him then so be it

 

[balmain boy]

We’ve been told many times we’re in a great salary cap position. The club is so full of shit.

Why would you believe some random rumour and just take it as gospel? 90% of the crap in the media, including about Luai, is just crap.
