Enforcer? Lol

Klemmer has been ok since his heartless display in round 2, but boy oh boy he is a myth in regards to being an enforcer. Have a look at today's game, 70th minute bringing the ball out from our end. Galvin looks up from dummy half and Klemmer refuses to run the ball. Bula has to take it. Then you would imagine that would snap him into action but no, he doesn't even take the next play. He waits for Olam to make a charge then he takes play 4. Weak frontrower play. I know early in the tackle count it's the outside backs who take the early ones, but sometimes ther are times where your the one in the firing line and you have to take the hit, gee, as a front rower that a given isn't it? Klemmer refused. He just mouths off to act tough, doesn't do any thing tough with his body.

Yeah when Sezar had to run hard into the defence because no forqards were there haha crazy

His main highlight in nearly a year and a half here is giving Gutho the one finger salute.

How Wests Tigers it would have been if the ref had of penalised him and given Gutho another shot at penalty straight in front …

But that was so low. Pretty embarrassing in fact. Like a kid.

I can't disagree with anything you have said. I will ask though, is it failure by halves to organise or failure of Benji to coach, I really don't know, because i don't think a former Origin prop is scared. I don't see the same disorganisation at other clubs. I do see our dummy half including Api looking around to ask where he is passing the next ball which kind of points to lack of organisation.

Definitely a failure of both. My point is that when it breaks down like that he shouldn't shy away from taking that hit up

 

[Tigrr2]

Klemmer is slow but at least runs and makes some metres when he does

 

[moetk]

Klemmer wouldn't make the bulldogs bench even though they're short on props. Klemmer is past it.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Plodder, offers zero.

At present and with out looking at mtrs. Klemmer would be miles ahead of all our forwards , Stef will not play SOO. And is at present just an average forward , Klemmer beside say Hass or Lurch from the sharks would be solid

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

He is more effective than Stefano which is saying alot about where we are atm.

 

[Telltails]

The stats show that we match the opposition forwards in most games. Yesterday we had more possession in the first half and in the second it swung the way of the Bulldogs. The forwards are not the best in the comp but for the most part they hold their own and provide us enough opportunities - just like yesterday
Any other year under adversity we would have folded. We are not doing that this year the players at least need to be credited for effort - which is usually the difference between a good forward and a poor one.

No surprise, has there been a game after which one of players hasn’t been suspended this season?

Probably not. With the Titans now playing well not sure we will any of the next 3 games.

 

[WestsEffTheRest]

Well Saints will have Hunt, Su'a & Lomax all backing up from Origin so if there's any game for us to win it's this one.
