This is pretty much Paul Gallen though
Had one great Origin game, coasted off it for the rest of his pointless career

This. This is pretty much my entire point. Klemmer is absolutely nothing yet, he might be, but he just as easily (and statistically more likely) wont be. Webb had one outstanding year for the Cows and a memorable moment or two in the Origin arena but then turned into an absolute potato. Tony Williams looked like he'd be absolutely unstoppable, he showed us he was big/fast/skillful but then jointed Webb on the scrap heap just as quickly (faster really). Dave Taylor has more skill than Williams and could have been anything, he achieved far more than Klemmer has at the same stage of their careers and is likely to end up in England once his contract is up, if not before because nobody wants the lazy genius anymore. Andrew Fafita is a better player than all of these aforementioned players, yet seems to already be on the outer in the Origin arena after what? 3 or 4 games?
I dont see anything in Klemmer that says he'll be any better than these players mentioned above, in fact most of them were far more promising prospects at one point than he is right now.
it's funny that an article primary about cartman and his qld "team-mates", the toads still choose to talk about klemmer, they're more obsessed about him than we are
I have a journalist friend in Brissy and he said that Parker is a MASSIVE f**kwit.
The likes of Thaiday he said are accommodating and great to talk to. But Parker is the most grating areshole he's had to deal with.
So none of this is surprising to hear.

So no quotes from anyone
Just another beat up from a journo trying to sell papers
Im not having a go, but explain how its different.
What you just said about Klemmer was said about Fafita as recently as last year. What exactly has Klemmer done?? he hasnt dominated at club level, and he's not particularly talented, at least no more than several other bench props. So aside from being aggressive, what does he bring to the table?
Im not trying to discredit the guy, but the Webb comparisons really arent far from the mark when you think about it. Both players were talked up as potential superstars without really achieving anything to warrant that tag.
When did NSW players, staff and fans become one big knitting circle?
Dish, dish, dish ladies.

I don't get the Klemmer hype either. He played tough in Origin for a while. Good, he's supposed to.
For me, he will always be that wanker who went off his tree at the ref earlier this year, when the ref made the correct call, and got put in the bin. He's an idiot who does not back up his aggression with rugby league work on the field.
Klemmer is fit and has stringed multiple impressive performances together, inclusive of SOO1 and 2
This alone sets him apart from Charlie "Golden Gloves" Webb
Yes he is more like Dave Taylor really.
When has Dave Taylor been fit, ever?
or run at forwards?
or put in a decent SOO appearance?
