Some randoms on FB say he was attacked in his car and retaliated.

That may be all well and true, but that fact he didn’t inform the club makes it seem like he is guilty of something beyond what would be reasonably accepted as “self-defence” otherwise what is there to hide?

Bye Kenny

Yet they are still better than us
They've had a lot of luck with injury, unlike us. They have had 13 merkins play every game. We have had five.

At the top of the table the Dragons have had 15 players appear in all nine games this year, and all 15 are named for round ten.

The Dogs would be nuts to give up Klemmer, but he and Paulo would totally transform our pack.

I can’t see us getting him
If they are in cap trouble they need to give up the players that rival clubs are willing to pay full freight for, just like us in 2016.

Lol he might have just been driving a car with his Ps suspended. Drive car unregistered. Even if it was low range DUI no player would get punted for that.

Not like you to overreact mate.

I’m an Edwards fan, but how many
Chances do you give him?

Yes by releasing guys who they pay half for creates more drama. Like Graheme leaving is hurting them this year.

Foran wouldn't get to many offers now. Looks slow. Woods neither.
Hoppa,Mbye,Jackson,Klemmer,Mariner would have offers but id say Hoppa and Marriner are great value for club.
That leaves Klemmer, Jackson,Mbye.

But I reckon theyl shift 1 or 2 bog average players, turn a few tricks under tables/tpas and sign a few big names.

One of my favourite players but the merkin is more trouble than he's worth.

Problem is NRL is keeping him inline. KE may go wild if something isnt. He is best to be part of the strict rules of the nrl till he is in early 30s and matured more.

As a person I feel he could spiral out of control if was able to drink and party as often as wanted. Needs the guidance

Sure Klemmer would be a great buy if possible, but it all depends on price. If we were to pay much more then $700k for him, then I don't think he is worth it even if he is in the top 3 frontrower at the moment. There are other frontrowers that I would think are of similar value, Lodge or even his team mate Tevita Pangai Jr that would cost under $700k and still add plenty to our pack.

It may not sound like much but saving $100k here and $100k there does add up and may allow us to get a better balanced squad that can actually compete for the premiership. It may also help us to entice someone like Apisai Koroisau. He would be a massive buy.

If we could get say

Junior Paulo
Matt Lodge
Apisai Koroisau

Then I say our team would be a very, very powerful pack that knows how to use the ball from the ruck to the forwards and then the backs who will have the space and time that at present is very limited when the opposition is serious.

I am by no means defending Kenny but it’s a driving offence? Like is it that big of a deal? Is it a major offence or?

He'd be on about $300k. If he had to get a real job he wouldn't be able to afford to party all the time.

Klemmer would cost 700k- 800k. If cpuld get a 200k tpa and pay 600 would be great.

Id rather Fafita

Lodge would be getting 500k+ Next season
