David Klemmer #264

[ROZELLE.O.G]

Named at 10 . Might mean the deal has fallen through . Bad news for Klem if true .
Looks like Kit has leapfrogged him in the pecking order .

Klemmer will probably play round 2 for the dragons. He would be good for our team on Friday night. I understand both sides of the story, it could've been handled better but we have had wooden spoons and being ruthless is the way to stop the rot and forward plan.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

It's an odd situation, heavily linked to the dragons but named to play KOE, thinking if he is pulled from this game all will be answered if not have no idea what the F lies in the future, I can't stand it when other clubs stuff us around if the Molo situation wasn't resolved why did they approach him, just stinks.

 

[JC99]

Dragons simply just waiting for Molo to leave so they can sign Klemmer. All a matter of time

 

[Red88_Tiger]

If the molo situation wasn’t holding things up klemmer I feel would of been done and dusted and be far less news
At some stage the dragons will just have to release him imo
Seems to be Flanagan would be good in a staring contest though

Not on ability or output he hasn't...

 

[batboy]

He is exactly right.
Benji and Richo have acted like arseholes here if all these reports are true.

Agreed....
The direction of a players career may also lead to Selective Outrage
when considering other players from other clubs

Not that simple , Molo has to pay them back money that he put into a house , so it’s get a loan or get your new club to pay dragons the owed money , but that means Molo is again paid up front , can’t see it happening , and I haven’t heard any clubs name mentioned as a new place for Molo , not even us as a swap type deal

A big house. Dont forget. Some cars too. Tough life isn't it?

okay, so dumb question...

Why are they gunning so hard for Klemmer?
I never really thought of the Dragons as a soft team.
You have Lawrie, emre guler, De Belin, Tom Eisenhuth, L Luciano, Jaydn Sua, Raymond f Mariner...

I see many players in their squad who would be starting in ours. Why on earth would they want to sign Klemmer??? I don't see the dire need in their pack, unlike our pack that he is actually needed.

Eisenthuth? Otherwise you on the money. Our pack is better. He ain't no Hethrington. Ask Benji or Madge.

You don't remember how Flanagan re-built the Sharks
By getting in a few experienced players that he could get another club to carry some freight on.
Doing the same a the Dragons.

Plus they are desperate for forwards with Molo refusing to play and he’s the only 1 available.

It's only salary cap money, Saints will just have to write it off. Just like paying salary when players play for other teams.

If there wasn't the Molo complication the deal would have just gone through with no issues of the Tigers management of it.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Life is complication. Get a grip brother. Get real.

 

[Camel2281]

Not on ability or output he hasn't...

On business sense risking having to carry his massive salary in 2026 though it makes business sense

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

Not on ability or output he hasn't...

Young buck on the rise, putting in impressive power running performances in the preseason or a hollow boned, pensioner who gets folded and needs to buy a pair of shoulders from TEMU.
It's a very hard decision.

 

[Spartan117]

Having just watched both episodes of Thrive or Survive.

This is HEART talking somewhat

Unless there is a significant player earmarked to come here, I believe there is great value in keeping Klemmer here, He is a veteran Leader.

Yes. I had no problem with Klem being moved on but also if he is staying we could do a lot worse.

 

[old_man_tiger]

If he accepts one of those Chris Lawrence restructures and an extra year for a pay cut, then he is good to have. But if the rumoured salary next year is legitimate I really don't think we can keep him. Wish him a good outcome no matter how it plays out

 

[Merlot]

Klemmer was shopped around by Richo officially middle of off season n new year ,whispers where running b4 that , Klemmer had prior knowledge b4 this year he wasn't in the plans,.Dig your heels in ,pretend it didnt happen .Play your best until management roles you ,or ask your mananger to get you the hell out. A contract meant something way back when
