Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think not having Klemmer here for next season on $800k or whatever his option was worth is the big thing. It would only take one of our props to go down early this year and I could see Klemmer easily getting to enough games to trigger his contract. The fact is, Klemmer on $800k is/has been poor value for money for mine so freeing up the spot and cash (hopefully most of it) is good.

Has David Klemmer Been Frozen Out By Wests Tigers? - Triple M Breakfast with Beau, Tarsh and Woodsy

Aaron Woods and Beau Ryan rip through reports that David Klemmer might've played his last game for the Wests Tigers!

Klemmer's good mate Aaron Woods says Klem's been told he's not in the plans for next season and the plan is/was to play him for 13 rounds so his option is not triggered.

You know. No wonder we are always bottom. Just cutting players in the last minute. Call business on that. Void of team spirit. Why couldn't they inform him earlier.

Klemmer's pushed for the move himself, but the club will benefit immensely from getting his hefty contract off the books and being able to open up another spot.

if there's anything last week proved, it's that we desperately need a first grade-quality backrower. I'm not sure what's out there, but I'm hopeful that's where we turn our attention. we certainly have the cash.

I think ur jumping the gun , KLEMMER is on 700.00 , so how much are we throwing in , with Molo on 500.00 the drag queens won’t be paying KLEMMERs contract , and we always come out behind

I hope if we land a right-edge backrower, he is a defensive beast both in physicality & effort to help shore up this side. A Brodie Jones type may be a lower profile, good value signing but I would love Jordan Riki.

Your in a fantasy brother. No one said nothing about Molo coming to us.

Murray injured eh.

More the Klem news.
Massive.

Apparently snapped his acchiles could be a long out not good for the Blues

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Alcaraz also unavailable for few rounds.

Richardson really knows how to upgrade the roster. This could create keen interest among player managers whose clients are stuck behind established stars to look for an opportunity and pay upgrade at WTs.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Without any empathy. We are dealing with humans here.

KLEMMER isnt on 700.00 at all , it's LESS .

given we've paid his salary for the first three months of the NRL financial year then I doubt we chip in at all.

who said we're signing Molo? there's been two articles about Molo being given permission to negotiate elsewhere, not once has WT been mentioned. if there's anyone who's jumping the gun, it's you.

Samual. Seyfarth

It’s called speculation, that’s what we do on here 🤔

In your mind. Absolutely. In reality - who knows?

They did . They informed him very early in the offseason . He chose tos tay and fight for a spot . Didn’t win the spot . So they told him that’s he’s lower down the depth chart and it’s not looking good . Hardly blindsided .

Different story. And thanks for the backstory. I dont follow their lives. Its just fun you know. I have my own contract in life and there are no get out clauses. LS.

That’s all good, but surely we have another forward lined up to replace him, otherwise our forward depth goes from poor to diabolical.
We can’t seriously be looking at Kit as first man up as soon as any NRL forward is injured ?
He needs to be 3rd or 4th man up, not the first.

So at this stage would you agree that Galvin is one of your favourites currently? The way he plays the game

No.
I think he is over hyped and he over plays his hand.
I would prefer a much more nuanced approach from him because he is a footy player at his core.
I do like his motor and will to compete. That should be a given for a top line player though.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Then why the angst?

As I typed the above Brodie Jones extends at Newcastle lol
