That’s just your perspective ! The club has evaluated his talent to be below the others . Whether right or wrong . I’m sure his contract in 26 would be a huge part of the equation and their reasoning .
What I’m saying is based on facts . He was told he wasn’t going to start in nrl very early in the offseason .
My opinion on whether he’s in front behind anyone is irrelevant .
Your statement was around mismanagement, and that’s what I replied to . Ie. there’s was none .
Like I said , bad news or disagreement in opinion does not equal mismanagement .
And for the record , I personally do think klemmer would be above Fainu . But Fainu can play on the edge at a stretch and is 400k cheaper .
I think we could have benefited from him on Friday last week.
But that’s not what we are talking about right now .
We are talking about whether the club did Klemmer dirty . And they didn’t . And I don’t think they made the wrong decision either .
that klemmer is above Fainu in early 25 , doesn’t mean he will. Be there in 26 , let alone the back end of 25 .
As for Pole ? Come on man . Yes Pole needs to fix his tackling technique , but he regularly runs for 150 and dents the line . There’s not 1 nrl team who would play klemmer above Pole . Despite how useful I think klemmer is .
So whilst yes , I agree klemmer is probably in most teams top 17, there’s no way any club can justify paying 650k for the 5th best prop in their club .
Unfortunately , his contact has to be factored in . But like I said , that’s a completely different question to the 1 I replied to .
