David Klemmer #264

[clontarfkid]

So far weve lost a SOO player +a current England International+ a current NZ international from our forward pack.
sure weve picked up Hunt and May..good signings....but Im not seeing this as an upside on last season
Throw away Klemmer,who is very functional,does his job. but way over paid...and we throw away 2025 and looking ,as always.for the future.
Which is BS for WTs when u have no current
Need a like for like swap ..and an injury plagued Molo by itself isnt enough
Am getting concerned that Someone else is running Richos show

He played 23 games last season.

We're building for 26, but Benji might not have that long.

Been doing that since 2012

Feel like you're in a wests tigers loop.

 

[happy_tiger]

Better be a good deal for us in this business

Feel like you're in a wests tigers loop.

Feels like we're always helping other teams and getting nothing in return. We exist to develop other NRL clubs.

One of those left because they didnt rate the coach. Very vocal.
makes you wondet when other senior players leave too...

I have no proof mate but if he is going to saints think the swap is on with Molo, it makes the most sense.

The papers seem to think we're happy with our middle rotation.

"Molo’s destination remains unclear, but there is no thought of a straight swap. Tigers coach Benji Marshall is happy with his front-row rotation, which includes Terrell May, Royce Hunt, Fonua Pole, Alex Twal, Alex Seyfarth and Samuela Fainu."

You wait till we have too much young talent coming through together easts will leading the pack.

We're not winning a comp with Klem in the front row. Happy to take the hit this year and see who falls from the tree.

Well I'm not reckon we are 2 big middles short now.

I'm not either, but I'd prefer a hole-running 2nd rower or a ball-playing lock.

Yes but if someone useful becomes available you snap it up 2RF is like digging for black opal at the moment

True but now we have the opportunty to act - not sure we did with Klem on the books. I guess only Richo, Benji and the guy in the corner with the round spectcles (accountant) know for sure.

At least the new coach will have the team that Benji wanted. 🤣

Take out Sam Fainu and Seyfarth if they are going to be used as second rowers and that leaves us pretty thin in the middle if someone goes down and we are already thin for second rowers as it is.

If Benji is happy with that then he is very easily pleased.

Glad that Benji at least is happy, not sure about anyone else.

Kai Pearce Paul on the radar Jolls.

I was saying this to a mate the other day. If he gets canned, it’s a pretty good roster to pick up especially noting heaps of dead wood comes off contract this year in our top 30.

Maybe him. Where is that damned crystal ball?🤣
