Klemmer?

[chuckee]

if it’s a swap for Marty then I see no downside. Klem isn’t the player he was but he is definitely more aggressive and intimidating than Marty.

 

[Son of Manly Beach]

I get the feeling he would just plod it up for us.

 

[mickqld]

He'd be another Nate Myles signing. Not worth it.

 

[Eagles4Life]

It's a no from me. Firstly, we can't afford to pay the coin that he wants. Secondly, we currently have enough instability and dysfunctionality in the club, without deliberately importing some more.

 

[MadMarcus]

Tough call, could be a BK2 or a Captain plod 2. Depends on the cost I guess. If Des can get the most out of him would be a good addition.

Agree with this 100%. I’d take the punt if the price was ok.

 

[Will on the hill]

He is all effort and desperately wants to win. If we got him for <$550k it would be fantastic. Anything more we can't afford. Seems unlikely.

Ice-ing it being the operative word.

I thought the whole stink was he wanted to transfer to Parra before Aug 1st. Knights said no, and Dave said y’all can get fked. I heard the reason the Knights said no, was Dave wouldn’t commit to coming back to the Knights for his final season. Interesting this has happened just as Peter Parr has arrived at the club. He’s an Arko like administrator, and wouldn’t think twice about putting a player on the bench if he deemed it worthy.

Seems like no one is good enough to play for the Sea Eagles according to many in here lolol. We could go go for a clean skin like Luke Keary & people would find issues lolol.

Like most have said Klemmer is on 900K now xt season, I think for 600K he is the perfect fit for our team of young forwards..

The real reason Knights had to drop Klemmer

Coach's hands tied in bizarre development

wwos.nine.com.au

A Knights statement later revealed Klemmer had been stood down and handed a breach notice for disciplinary reasons. Those reasons were later revealed to be him refusing to leave the field during Sunday's loss to the Bulldogs, and swearing at club trainer Hayden Knowles.

A plethora of rugby league greats have questioned why a club would axe a player for that offence, which they say happens multiple times a game.

But the Sydney Morning Herald has now revealed why Knights coach Adam O'Brien had no choice but to stand his star forward down.

The Knights are owned by Wests Group, and Knowles reportedly made an official HR complaint to the business about the language used by Klemmer towards him during the game.

As per the company policy, HR required Klemmer to be stood down from duties until the matter was resolved.

Knowles has been around footy for a long time and would have heard all the usual insults and terms of abusive endearment, wonder if him lodging a formal complaint implies it was something discriminatory.

Nate Myles..for the money, our worst ever signing.

It was hilarious watching the trainer circle Klem, just like a cattle dog rounding up sheep..lol.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

IMO the trainer is a sook.

Yep more snow in Bondi than the Himalayan mountains!

Yep more snow in Bondi than the Himalayan mountains!

The Broncos were snowed under by the avalanche of Lodge and JWH
Good win by the Bondi Boys

At the end of the day pro sport is all about winning
Losing sucks and loses suck the life out of footy clubs

He has a glass jaw.
It's a no from me.

It's hard to think that a run of the mill 'shove off' would trigger a complaint, so either he was having a rather bad day or the comment was a doozy.

I don't know Knowles (predicted n'name... Knowlsie) so time for guesses! lol cough
