David Klemmer #264

[Tiger_Tim]

I've always been of the opinion that you need to spend most of your money in the backs and backrow. I wouldn't be a fan of having two international props if we were weak in the halves or centres.

I always think you can get good mileage out of modestly priced props.

I agree. I think we've got a good value prop rotation this year. We're overpaying for what we have at hooker, second row and in the halves (on last season's form). I'd rather invest in Taumalolo or Papalii or someone in that mould than Klemmer (although I don't think we're a realistic shot at any of those players).

I agree that we are unlikely to get either Taumalolo or papalii but i would like us to see what the chances of getting Taukeiaho from the roosters. I think he would be a cheaper version with a bit of upside. Good with the ball and hits in defense.

Bulldogs have 5 or 6 players on 700k plus a season but yet we can't keep Moses,Tedesco and Brooke's together

What a joke league is becoming

 

[Tim Sheens]

The way Grant has started the year would indicate that we no longer need Klemmer for next season, though if there is a large TPA attached I wouldn't say no.

Just watching the Sunday footy show and David Klemmer is on;
They asked him about Aaron Woods.

Cliffs:
- They're close friends
- He bases his game on Woods'
- He's 116 kg at the moment
- Admires Wood's workrate, watches him play and draws inspiration from it.
- Hopes to be a starter someday

 

[Milky]

He can start at the TIgers in 2017

 

[Demps]

He can start at the TIgers in 2017

I wish.

 

[happy_tiger]

I don't understand why everyone is basing the reason that Klemmer will come to the WT's based on their friendship

Lots of blokes have been mates before and never played a game together

We would have numerous Origin players in Woods, Klemmer, Tedesco and possibly Moses/Brooks

Reminds me of when everyone thought Tuiaki and Moi Moi would end up playing together.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Farah is close friends with Tim Mannah yet turned Parra down when he re-signed with us.

If anything you'd rather not fight for each other's salary cap dollars , it's hard having two blokes playing in the same position earning top dollars , you just can't afford it unless you have unlimited 3rd party deals

Tiger torch stated that we've already tabled an offer.
Are you aware?

We've probably tabled 30 offers to different players Demps

We need backrowers and centres , not overpriced props

We need a prop who is value for money who can do a set job every week

Which we already got in Grant. We are in desperate need of a back rower.

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

and we never tried Edwards, Griffin, Aloiai, Chee-Kam, Fine, Parahi, Cassell … :crazy

Not that I disagree, I reckon you only need 1 rep-level prop and the rest value-priced props, but the offer reported by TT was big, equal to any other at the club currently.

So that would put it beyond just friendship and in the realm of serious $$$.

That is frustrating, and pretty darn stupid from our coach.

 

[Demps]

Anyone watching the game tonight….

Yeah, we don't need front rowers - we need centers and second rowers, LOL

We'll just keep picking Buchanan.....HAHAHAHA

Klemmer would be MASSIVE for us, fully needed IMO.

 

[Fade_To_Black]

^Buchanan was far from our worst out there to be fair. Maybe we should give him a go in the halves- his kicking game couldn't possibly be any worse than the two liabilities we have have masquerading as top grade players in the 6 and 7 at the moment. How 2 blokes who have played in the halves their whole lives have such p### poor kicking games is bloody well astounding.

 

[Tigertigertiger]

I'd love to see Klemmer at the Tigers with his attitude but not on 700k a season.
