David Klemmer #264

The Molo thing seems a big mess and may take a long time to sort out , I would say Molo needs to find a new club that is willing to pay the dragons back which means they are again paying him up front and due to what’s taken place I can’t see it , the nrl will not allow them to sign Klemmer and go over the cap as the money has already been spent so to speak, that’s why I said Klemmer should be picked in our team if he is ready to go not sit on the side line or reserves at $ 700 k if he is hear you use him

we’ll see what happens with Molo… because apparently the moment that gets sorted Klem is out the door…

In the meantime we will also see what use Klem will be for the NRL team … although not even making the extended bench of 22 for the Week 1 game is not a good sign
 
Weren’t there murmurs DK was also questioning the coaching last year…
This is the Tigers - what the coach wants, the coach gets…

I think it’s all on ST.George,
Paying someone early before the work is done no matter what industry we are talking about here is risky,
Gees when I was younger and working I would have loved my company to pay me months in advance so I could have placed it onto my mortgage (imagine the amount saved on interest)
It’s like another way of cheating the salary cap.

Nah, I get St George doing this.

Imagine your near the bottom side. Molo, I think once was captian for a game says "Hey I am trying to build a house, I am on 700k can you front some so I can get a stable home."

Seriously it sounds very reasonable.
It also makes cap sense and We don't do it... FRONT players in a Nothing year so we have more cap next year.

Seriously look at how bare bones we are:

Teams

2022 Wests Tigers NRL Telstra Premiership squad, Wests Tigers players, NSW Cup squad.
www.weststigers.com.au www.weststigers.com.au

May is our only standout really. Hunt is very green, Samuela is our only other "proven" forward. The Twal/Seyfarth/Pole/kinda pass first grade Props are there as well. Kit Laulilii like most players with a stack of i's is the only other player to show promise.

I hate Depth, we do need depth in the forwards and Klemmer provides it in spades.... But more then that, he up's our training!

I say this knowing he is gone. We need to really rethink our entire strategy here considering the people we have lost in the front row.

It might make sense to you,
But is it legal
And when things get ugly they end up exactly where they are now.

What a load of bullshit . He’s signed for another club , who’s shitty management of their playing roster re. MOLO , is the reason he’s not training with the main team . Because for all intents and purposes he doesn’t play for the wests tigers anymore .

"hes signed for another club"

Yep (re Molo)

I was trying to explain to people the difference between "legal" and "moral"...

If this is all a stunt to get a house and get his contract paid out with a minimum amount of contact... It's neither Moral or Legal (breach of contract).

100% don't want him here.

He’s committed to another club . Hasn’t signed yet because you can’t register the contract because molo is in position 30 . So he can sign anything he wants , it’s not worth anything until it’s registered .

He is exactly right.
Benji and Richo have acted like arseholes here if all these reports are true.

That is a big if....could be that Klemmer was the one seeking the release. I have heard the scuttlebut about both "truths". We will not know the facts, and netiher do the media, and I expect that suits Richo and Benji fine.
 
I hate that this is happening right now as we start a new season. Just for once I’d like to go into a season without drama and with our full compliment of players all with the same vision and commitment to the team and the club. Why do we have to have this shit scenario to start our season?

What do you mean ? It’s no different to when we signed Terrell May. The roster spot wasn’t there, so we couldn’t register the contract with the nrl u til Bateman left / miller lost his appeal .
But he was announced as a tiger .
That could happen because he’d agreed to a release from the roosters already , so it was all a formality .
We haven’t released klemmer because as of his manager would be crazy enough to do that . Nothings offical till it is .
It’s the dragons and molo and whoever is taking molo . Until then klemmer had to sit tight . His manager can’t be serious in wanting a first grade spot for his client whilst he’s committed to another club . But look who his manager is …. Nuff said

I am pretty sure that May took the top 30 spot vacated by moving on Chris Fa'agutu a couple of weeks beforehand, and that is why it was immediately approved.
 
Lestronge said:
Yea I know . Just saw that . It kind of undermines Chammas story . Maybe it’s fallen through ?
I’m 💯 certain though the reason he didn’t play trials was because he was all but set to go to the dragons .
Which is why he wasn’t training with the team … because he for a few weeks was on another team . If he’s back with the team . He might have lost his opportunity to move .
He’s not mistreated though .
Mistreating him would be what Ricky did to Woodford last year . Had no interest in playing him in first grade , and when a SL club came to Woodford for fair money , sticky didn’t release him . That’s being a dick to your player . Not giving him early warning and a chance to explore his options .

Yea Ricky did this to Horsbrough as well I thought.

The Raiders have a team with stacks of props. I don't fully understand, but I believe Ricky is forcing a contract to be a contract.

So it's a bad thing to be honest and upfront with someone?

I don't really follow the media. Was there outrage from Chammas about the treatment of May at the roosters? We just always seem to be in the news for all the wrong reasons.

💯 if anything the tigers have been protecting Klemmer from potential injury.

Pretty weird a St George player is lining up for us this weekend in reserve grade.
Hope he doesnt sabotage us....
