Once again, why wasn't this resolved yesterday? Why's he not in the extended squad in case he apologises tomorrow?

Sounds fishy. Guess we'll never know the truth.

Shouldn’t that just be a “quick chat after the game with the coach” kinda thing?
What is going on?
You'd think so, unless he said something really out of line. I guess in any workplace if someone abuses or intimidates you then you have the right to make a complaint, perhaps that is what has happened.

This type of thing is as big as the club wants it to be, they're trying to punt klem.

If it was one of aobs pets wouldn't have heard anything more of it.

Looking forward to seeing all the other teams clamouring to take on his contract given the hysteria. Maybe they'll wait until after he makes his triumphant return for Australia in the World Cup without big mean Freddy standing in his way of rep domination?

Will be lucky to get $500k from a fellow mediocre team. Dragons, Tigers, Titans are the 3 I could see deluding themselves into thinking he'll make a difference, otherwise his next stop will be riding the bench somewhere. Maybe a Bulldogs homecoming to replace Vaughan.

Said it in another thread where it was mentioned... but why is there so much smoke around Klemmer being an ass to coach? Freddy won't touch him for NSW, now this?

Klem. You collect $800k a year to provide 500-600k worth of value. Shut the f**k up.

Couldn't believe when my young bloke told me about this, have seen this happen many times & as Zoidberg said
should be able to be resolved in house with a man to man chat. But no, a shit storm happens I would say it's the powers that be trying to set Klem off & drive him out to save money, to me it's got O`Brien`s & Gardener`s finger prints all over it, they should get 90% of the playing group in to show cause for taking money under false pretences every week! & doing a bad impersonation of a football team. If Klem goes, I think I'm just about done with this idiot mob.

Why are you so in love with the saifitis when they have been absolute bums this year?

As much as you will never admit it klem has been our best player this season, overpaid or not.

I eagerly await how klemmers money will be wisely spent btw. Another two Kurt Mann's or similar should do the trick.

Storm are losing about 5 forwards next year, they'd be decent favourites to get him

Will we get out of own our half without Klemmer?
We'll find out who and if anyone stands up.

Argument could be made that Klemmer touches the ball too much, like how Gallen did in his later years with the Sharks. It's great effort but sometimes a detriment.

This is the footage everyone is pointing to... It's 9 minutes left to go in the game, result still within reach and Klemmer up against his old club.

Really hard to comment without knowing specifics but I feel he should be commended on this and not publicly shamed. Really get the feeling this could have been handled behind closed doors.

That’s just passion. If more of them showed it we’d be better off.
The trainer needs to grow some.
