The Rumours Thread

[Inisai Toga]

Klemmer was that is the point..at Canterbury
Why do you think he is not in the landscape for origin anymore
Knights paid a 1 mill a year for him...that is a worse overpayment than our Benny Hunt and in the class of a Norman like over payment

agree, pass

 

[BLM01]

Klemmer has been very average this year

Have the interpretation changes in the rules left him behind?

This..and last and the one before that likely

 

[SAP58]

The Mbye rumour wont go away, Im not a fan hope it dies a death soon and we move on. Hook has shown in the past to lose interest pretty quickly if a deal cant be worked out but not with Mbye.

 

[dragon thomo]

I think Mbye would be a good pick up. He is a smart footballer has experience to which we lack in the backline, also can goal kick.

a 14 that can play all backline and hooker and can kick
At a good price he could be useful

Much rather Kodi Nikorima

Much rather Kodi Nikorima

I agree and would much rather have him a more brilliant player and a good 14
Even Connor Watson

is he available next year, and or do they want offload him ??

Does he do any hooker time for them or just halves ?

They style of player we need IMO is a back utility/ half that can do hooker time maybe towards the end halves with fatigue and attacking ability as Macca has no attacking ability IMO

This year he has played fullback, lock, half and hooker for the knights. he is the perfect 14 for us.

last week he rejected the knights offer, so he is unisigned for nrext year.

Watson is quiet tuff has well i don't think nikorima would be as well suited to the hooker role.

Hasn't Watson been injured a lot at his time at the Knights ?

 

[Kylez3]

Would rather Watson, Peachey and even Nikorima over Mbye.

So we'll get Mbye then.

Why don’t we all just wait and see

Lots of people saying we were linked to this one and that one and many implying Hook is signing this one and that one because of this that and the other

Much of which has proven incorrect

Hook has a plan and it clearly won’t play out in the media and the S’ua signing is testimony to that

and Molo signing; no one new about that either

Was worth his weight in gold - yet another small cog in Bennett’s ever so powerful 2010 premiership engine .

Klemmer was that is the point..at Canterbury
Why do you think he is not in the landscape for origin anymore
Knights paid nearly a 1 mill a year for him...that is a worse overpayment than our Benny Hunt and in the class of a Norman like over payment
I'd rather Taupau than Klemmer and that is saying something as i dont want either for the $$$ their managers will demand

So you're agreeing with the other poster and saying Klemmer is " one of the worst forwards in the NRL " or you're saying that was the case when he played for the doggies ( not sure what you mean there ) ? No offence but that's bullsheep either way. He's been one of the best and most consistent forwards in the NRL for 8 years - and includes 19 Aus jerseys and 14 blue ones. His last year at the Dogs in 2018 he was their best by a country mile, averaging 180+ mtrs a game and playing a starring role in the 3 SOO's with a Blues series win. So I don't understand your sentiments. He wasn't picked for SOO this year but if he had been no-one would have complained and he wouldn't have let them down.
He's not on a Million a year either he's on $800K ( according to a reliable source - Zero Tackle ) and comparing his signing to Norman's signing ( and considering what we now know ) is, I don't want to be rude because I think you're smarter than that, but it's not too thoughtful really.
I doubt we'll get Klemmer because we seem to prefer cheap ruffies but if we did Newie might cough up some of his money and we'd get a tough, reliable forward who at 27 is better than anything we currently have on our books.
Klemmer 2021 - averages 160+ mtrs a game, has a ridiculous tackle efficiency of 97.8% - missing just 10 tackles in his 15 games this year. Has more mongrel than our whole pack combined with the exception of the mighty Sims. He's exactly what we need.

Played
15 in 2018
21 in 2019
5 in 2020

Missed alot last year think he has played most this year

Given that Klemmer has 2yrs to run on his Newcastle deal if they did want to offload him Newcastle would have to kick in some of salary which would make him very good value.

Otherwise I like a fully fit Burgess, he brings experience & mongrel.

NRL 2021: Taunoa-Brown endorses more player loans | Dragons

St. George Illawarra new recruit Jamayne Taunoa-Brown believes loan deals between clubs make players more determined to succeed even when they play for a rival club

www.dragons.com.au

Must admit this guy is seriously agile for his build and weight and reminds me of a similar opportunity to Kite, Friz, Vaughan where they have a lot of runway and value into the future

you gotta think we would be doing everything we can to add him in 2022 if the Warriors were open to release

 

[Shaun_Timmins]

I don't know why everyone is in a panic about Klemmer, no where in that article (from the unreliable mole) does it mention Saints are sniffing around him.

Yeah I thought he looked pretty good on Friday night. His line speed was excellent
