Klemmer was an overs recruit.
We were desperate and it showed.
Stefano is on the verge of being one of the greatest props to play at the Tigers.
He needs to have better games than the last 2 weeks

Yes no doubt it was a poor signing in hindsight
I am bemused though that Klemmer gets about 5 percent of the criticism Stef gets
Missed that moment, must have gone to the fridge

He does for us exactly what he was doing at the Knights.
He gets in the way, slows play down and takes all momentum out of our attack.
He has no shoulders and the body of a yoga guru.
No hindsight was required.

Is Klemmer asking for more money, NO HE IS NOT STEF IS.
Agree with this.
His numbers leave alot to be desired.
He could fit into a storm system but they'd be paying him closer to 500k a season. Dragons, raiders and Parramatta honestly won't do anything for his career.
It's either the tigers or storm if I'm him.
Well who was tying up $800K a year while we gave him time to consider our offer? So, it would appear only since Stef has been allowed to explore his options that we both require another forward and are in a position to make a play for one.

Klemmer is already on $800k
Another one of Sheens ghastly contracts

Joke of a deal…let go of Hastings too which left them with Wakeham
Even if he stays we need at lease 2 new forwards, or what is the point in buying luai, because if the forwards can’t hold there own , nothing will change

I think the Knights chipping in made it seem more worthwhile but the length of deal was the big error based on hindsight.

the story was that they chipped in for $400k last year only… Tigers paying the full freight now ….better than nothing… but still a Sheens special
It was first two years subsidised and next year is a mutual option. Tigers won’t extend and it makes sense if he can get a longer deal to move on. Probably a part payout from Tigers. Benji has to drop him this week however Twal is still out so it’s a problem.

Ok, let me help the balance, bloody well and truly past it. The only prop I know who skips to the line, no toughness left just pedestrian runs time after time.
He and Twal as bad as each other. Should both be punted imo !!
There you go.

I believe Newcastle put up funds around half for the first 2 years , then we had a mutual agreement , so Klemmer has not been a bad deal until now , we may have to cover his total of around $ 800 k for next year only
he was purchased to help thats about it , not a world winner just a name who has history of being tough prop ,

I don’t care about the money I’m more interested in the contribution. And there is little to none, can’t believe he’s an ex Test forward coz he’s no longer tough but gone soft. (Woods Mk2).

Newcastle paid 1/2 his freight , so he was about a $ 400 k prop for us , that’s not a bad deal , he has always had a crack and made mtrs , you need to have another look at his stats , he is great defender and always has a crack, better than a lot others who get no mention of being pretty poor
