So it's a bad thing to be honest and upfront with someone?

I don't really follow the media. Was there outrage from Chammas about the treatment of May at the roosters? We just always seem to be in the news for all the wrong reasons.

It’s not about being informed, it’s about how we have handled the situation since.
 
This happens all a time in clubs but only us get dragged through the media.
Klemmer will get his money this year so it's just business.

They didn't carry on wh3n Roosters let May go and I believe it was worse.

I prey we kill it this year to shut these clowns up.

It was 100% worse. They just extended his contract and then tell him he is no longer wanted after a good season. Klemmer did not perform to his contract value so they understandably want to get rid of him. It's just business.

Tigers agenda once again . Can you imagine if we activated him for next year , we’d be the laughing stock in the media .

When was klemmer informed of all this?
Seems to be only a few weeks ago... Not good if so

I don’t believe so. Klemmers name has been mentioned by the media as to be moving on or planned to be moved on from the time the Bateman ordeal first came about.

In what way, it seems to me it's all on the saints, you have to treat him with kit gloves at the moment a contract is imminent not to risk an injury, also the rumours of moving him on has been around for a while.

Is it just us that do it though Tuck, just seems if there is a knife to stick into the tigers it will be done, there is an opportunity for Klem to pick up an extra year at another club he might be happy with that.

Probably not...moreso definitely not. However we seem to be such amatures at it we balls it up and the media find out.

By keeping him wrapped up in cotton wool?
Prehaps the move was going to happen to St George within the pre season. Then this further news re Molo comes out. Why aren’t the Dragons under the microscope here? How did they get away with giving an advance of a salary to one of their players without the NRL batting an eyelid?

It's a business you need to be ruthless like Bellamy. They're making their intentions known that they don't view him as part of the 17 anymore.

Bellamy doesnt treat guys that play for him like this.
Bateman reckons they barely spoke to him. Klemmer is being ostracised from the group for no reason other than forcing him to go. Its shades of Farah being put in reserve grade.

Wasnt Klem named for the first trial and then removed?

Exactly; around the first time we heard of the St George deal being sorted out.
Who else of note from our starting forward pack last year was in that trial?
He was already demoted then and there.

Is it, that’s what the media want you to believe, I’ve seen Klemmer in all the team photos etc, he was at Leichhardt with the team for the second trial. He is still there.
Has he done a medical with St George? Maybe. We all know what happened with Volkman at Saints Last year after starting preseason with them and not dotting the eyes on the contract.
Seriously this is normal handling at any club and the Tigers. F St George they are in the wrong here.

Mate I reckon there are clubs that would have played him 13 games and just maximise the value to the club, then theyd banish him to ron Massey. Telling him early, if that's true, is quite good if them in some ways.

Agree on the media finding out being a real annoying aspect of this, yet again. Probably leaked by manager though and Chammas has an axe to grind with us for some reason.
 
Tucker said:
Your argument seems to be "theyre doing it too".
So what? we arent talking about them.

No sure, but he was even more loved by the club was with them for 10 on years. He was a bit but hurt by it but there was no negative media regarding it.
It’s because we are the Tigers.

100% there would be a club that does that!
