Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

On the Klemmer article -- "It’s understood neither Klemmer or his agent were aware of any attempts to offer the 29-year-old to rival clubs and that the passing of Klemmer’s name to potential suitors was made by a third party unrelated to the front-rower."

What the hell does that mean. Seems like another media beat up to me.

Klemmer rumour irks me, I understand the guy is on a decent packet but he's also shown himself to be a consummate professional, and someone who knows how the league works.
I believe if you went to the bloke and let him know that you were planning to move him, he wouldn't kick stones or play with any less passion. If Benji's got time to go to go all over Australia on a recruitment mission, he should have time to have a quick chat to one of his current on field leaders.
I guess we don't know what's transpiring, but this feels like another incompetent feather in the very well feathered cap that is Wests Tigers governance.

He said 'would be'.

As in; 'in the event this happens, then it would be insane'.

...So it's not laying the boot in based on a rumour, he's saying if a particular outcome comes to fruition, then here's my take on that outcome.

@WestsEffTheRest has worded his post well.

He said that nothing surprises him about the behaviour of the WT's anymore. So he/she is saying that in his/her opinion the club is more than capable of this.

Firstly none of those Souths blokes are reportedly on a million. Some maybe close(ish, say 700-850) but we also have about 5 in that range. Whilst there will always be questionable salary caps, I'd also suggest that the likes of Souths have more low end contracts to go with their top end contracts.
They also havent got any obvious over inflated contracts such as Nofoaluma or Doueihi nor would they be paying a couple of reserve grade kids 400k like we are the Fainus.

Certainly not saying the rumour is true and I think we could probably squeeze in Luai without making any drastic cuts.
Try going to the Roster Breakdown page and attributing a value (reported or estimated) to each of our players. I put us at just over 10.5Mil with still a player needing to be added, plus the value of the contracts we are alleged to have paid out. I don't think we are in as great a cap space as people think. Though I do think we can afford Luai.

Huh?
Latrell is on a million, Murray 950k, Walker 900k, Wighton 750-800k, Cook 750k. They certainly have 5 players on more cash than anyone at our club!

I take it as some random nobody. A Benny Elias of the world, going around trying to talk themselves up to recruiters and be a hero.

"Hey mate, would you be interested in X player if i can get them to leave their current club?!"

It was me, I passed on his name to a few blokes at the pub.

I had my suspicions that you were involved but didn't want to say anything without proof. I have however passed on my concerns to Lee H who assured me he will aggressively pursue the matter with the possibility of naming the person involved on his weekly radio slot. I would be very worried and suggest you seek legal advice.

I thought I remembered it reported Latrell knocked back 1mil+ offers to stay at Souths. Apologies that was his previous contract, not current one. He certainly appears to be on million now.
The rest I think you've over valued. The articles I've seen all have them on less than the numbers you've given.
Also havent addressed the other part of my post. Where are they wasting cap space like we are?

Zero Tackle lists a portion of a club's playing roster contracts from media sources and for Souths the following were listed:

Cook is on $750, Graham $850, Latrell $1 million, Wighton $750, Murray, $950 and Tatola $650.

Re Klemmer , Adrian Proszenko on Sen just said the tigers aren’t shopping him but another club has approached them asking if they’d release him .

It’s clearly the bulldogs whose current starting props are Max King & Liam Knight .

The Tigers at this stage have said they aren’t interested in letting Klem go & it’s not a requirement to fit Luai in
