Farah was a legend of the club and was still playing according to his pay packet. Completely different scenario.

Its not different.
The coach wanted him out so employed bully boy tactics to force his hand.
In this situation, the club want Klemmers money for next year. That could have been handled better than alledgedly telling him that we will purposefully not let you hit your trigger amount of games. Especially when the current coach agreed to that clause.

Klemmer and his manager are at fault for having that clause in his contract then performing poorly, club would be crazy to keep him and play him this year to be stuck with him again next year

Klemmer hasnt played poorly. He was our best forward in 23 and even tough the impact was lacking, he was still providing in 24.
Maybe having a completely useless coach had more to do with it.

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

Nah disagree . Chammas has a remit to deliver content per week. And he’s rehashing old news, fed to him by Klemmers manager , who knows full well klemmer is committed to the dragons . There’s no news about at the moment and this is muck raking.
Klemmers manager has fed this , because he’s negotiated his client into a corner , where’s he’s committed to the dragons and as such isn’t training with the main team.
For reference this happens in football all the time when a player commits to another club in their final year. They get banished to train with the reserves or by themselves .
His manager and the dragons ballsed this up. Not the tigers

Has he signed with them?

Wasnt Klem named for the first trial and then removed?

Yea exactly . The dragons asked the tigers to pull him. Which they did . They have gotten greedy with molo , who was supposed to just walk to whichever club wanted him , the rumour is Souths , but now they want coin , when they’d already negotiated for Klemmer. It’s amateur hour and typical flanno bullshit .

He’s committed to them . They can’t register the contract until molo is released , which is why they went to the nrl asking for the exemption .
This shit was sorted , hence why they asked for Klemmer to be stood down .
I wouldn’t train Klemmer with the main team either . He’s a dragons player , keeping his fitness up whilst he waits for his transfer .

Right so nothing is organised at all.
Are they taking him full freight?…that’s rhetorical btw

Yep has he signed with the dragons cause if he has he should be training with them just not playing for them

Nah he hasn’t . The contract can’t get registered by the nrl , because of roster spots . So Molo has to go . Until then we are legally obligated to train and pay klemmer .
But like I said , he’s a dragons player wrapped in cotton wool waiting to go to the gong , using his old teams facilities in the mean time .
The guy was told a long time ago that he’s down the pecking order and might not get to his 14 games .its not mistreatment to tap a bloke on the shoulder and say “your down the food chain mate , if you can get a couple of years take it”

What do you mean ? It’s no different to when we signed Terrell May. The roster spot wasn’t there, so we couldn’t register the contract with the nrl u til Bateman left / miller lost his appeal .
But he was announced as a tiger .
That could happen because he’d agreed to a release from the roosters already , so it was all a formality .
We haven’t released klemmer because as of his manager would be crazy enough to do that . Nothings offical till it is .
It’s the dragons and molo and whoever is taking molo . Until then klemmer had to sit tight . His manager can’t be serious in wanting a first grade spot for his client whilst he’s committed to another club . But look who his manager is …. Nuff said

He Is sitting tight in reserve grade. Not protected from injury.
This whole thing is a mess.

Yea I know . Just saw that . It kind of undermines Chammas story . Maybe it’s fallen through ?
I’m 💯 certain though the reason he didn’t play trials was because he was all but set to go to the dragons .
Which is why he wasn’t training with the team … because he for a few weeks was on another team . If he’s back with the team . He might have lost his opportunity to move .
He’s not mistreated though .
Mistreating him would be what Ricky did to Woodford last year . Had no interest in playing him in first grade , and when a SL club came to Woodford for fair money , sticky didn’t release him . That’s being a dick to your player . Not giving him early warning and a chance to explore his options .
 
This has not been handled well at all,i have few problems with him going to play for the dragqueens but if he get's injured playing reggies i doubt they will want him.
