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.

On paper, but don’t hold your breath.
You can tip us, with any confidence, to beat anyone.
Yes, I know I sound cynical but I’m just running out of any confidence.
But I hope you’re right !!!
 
love the big fella but I'm not surprised to see his name being floated around in these conversations about us offloading players. unfortunately he's lost a yard of speed which has affected his effectiveness and his play the ball has gotten even slower. defensively he does his bit but again, it might be time to part ways.

The club should have appealed his ban and shown up the crap in how one gets off but ours get 3-4 weeks , we are weak as piss

Unfortunately one could see this would be the case 2 years back when he played his last season at the Knights. But just like Tamou before him, the cupboard was bare and were left with no other ideal suitors.
It will be a long time until WT sign a respectable Prop with plenty of miles left and upside to their game.

Yep Klemmer and Tamou both great players in their day. Sadly we bought them when their best days were already behind them.

'Not all hip drops are the same': How officials decide what action to take

NRL GM of football Graham Annesley has confirmed that Wests Tigers prop David Klemmer should have been sinbinned during last Friday night’s clash with the Cowboys as he outlined how match officials determine the course of action to take for hip drops.

It is a deadset joke.
Klem gets 3 weeks and Holmes gets off.
Oh well guess that gives Pole, Miller & Fainu a real crack at a new shape pack.

Klem’s 3 weeks are the result of this being his 4th charge this year and a grade 2
Holmes’s was a first offence at grade 1 due to mitigating factors.
It does make sense.

Could make a case that the grading should be similar. Can you say Klemmers was a grade 2 tackle opposed to a grade 1?

Not personally, but It’s not my job to assign grading.
I’m saying I understand why one bloke was let off and the other suspended…and it wasn’t due to favouritism.

Tamou was 32 or 33 when we got him, while Klemmer has only just turned 30. Klemmer should be in peak form, 30 is vintage prop age. But both Klemmer and Tamou faded a lot faster than they should have. Tamou seemed past it already at Penrith before he even came to us. It's interesting the way different players age. Do they just lose the passion for it? Klemmer's bland play is very disappointing, I thought he had more fire. Certainly not fussed about being subbed off the field anymore.

Klemmer’s style doesn’t suit the latest way the game is played
