Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Forget the stats Klem is a warrior but past it. He gets dominated and takes forever to play the ball. Defensively makes his tackles but never dominates and we get rolled through.
I don’t think he will be in the 17 next year.

Always a good way to open a sentence.

If you want to see Tiger middles who 'never dominate and get rolled through' in defence, don't look any further than Stefano and Seyfarth (as a middle), those two are the most gumby, tangled-up, ruck-losing peanuts in the club. And, to a lesser extent, Pole.

The first-impact and wrestling technique of these three, in particular, is woeful.

Klemmer makes his tackles and covers his a) or b) closing duties adequately.

Would love it if we were a club who could bring in the D head types and have them help the cause, unfortunately we are no way near that stable to get anything but drama and bad press:
Hard no to JAC / Taylen May types for now maybe in 5yrs after we’ve built something

Sayfart tackles like a baby giraffe standing up for the first time.
Stef tackles like the giant marshmallow man.
Klem is far from the attacking player he used to be, but he is far from our biggest problem. People are saying we need experienced players, Klem is one.

Havent heard anything. Managers talk, there is a big offer put there for him.

He has not resigned, he is from Melbourne. Other clubs want our players. Gus is a big fan.

I think he will leave

seemed like you must have had inside info with how confident your initial post was… so it’s more just a guess? Well here’s 1 thing I’ll ask, why would Storm possibly want another front rower? By all reports NAS is refusing to leave & no one wants to pick up his $900k contract anyways, Stef $700k + as well. Id say if they sign any other forwards it will be a player on bottom $

And the people suggesting Saifiti obviously haven't watched many Knights games this year. He's playing no better than Klem. He's miles from the player who played origin

Can I ask who you would prefer to keep next year … Pole v klemmer.. assuming you could only keep 1?

I think you would have to keep Pole if given a binary choice, but if you keep him AND lose a guy like Klemmer you continue to leak 30+ points a game, and no club can consistently win games when it leaks points like that. For every Pole, you need a workhorse who will plug the middle and do the blue collar stuff.

What if Pole does want to return to Melbourne for whatever reason. Richo would get an inkling I’m sure in his current extension negotiations. Like with Stef he would probably ask Pole to make a decision as soon after Nov 1 whether he’s in for the crocodile roll or not. That way we can try to get some sort of benefit out if it and I’m thinking negotiate with Storm to swap Tui Kamikamika for ‘25. Whilst he’s 30, he doesn’t have the same footy years in his body, can play 40+ mins, strong defence & PCM and would straight away become another forward leader. Anyway this is just a what if as we’ve just been burnt by marshmallow man!
