Yes from our friend the mole , not the most reliable of sources , however always has a juicy titbit to chew on .

Just wondering if he would be the type of player that Griffin would consider to replace Vaughan ? At a greatly reduced salary than what he is currently on .

Would take him in a heartbeat....he's an aggressive and top player if in the mood...

Klemmer still has plenty of rubber left on the tyres. Type of player that would benefit from a change of club. If he could regain his form he’d be a perfect replacement for Vaughan.

If we are in for Finucane then we already have our Vaughan replacement, and that was revealed last week and continues this week.

If Finucane signs he will play lock.

Klemmer has been very average this year

Have the interpretation changes in the rules left him behind?

Klemmer looks more like a Griffin signing to me. Klemmer signed a 5yr deal with Newcastle in 2019 so if Newcastle release him they pick up part of his salary. Just the type of scenario Griffin likes.

Finucane on the other hand is a big dollar free agent, don’t see Griffin paying top dollar for him.

No to Klemmer, one of the worst props in the NRL

If true, I'm wondering how Frizz is feeling. Klemmer was reportedly in his ear and a big part of him joining the Knights. It's all gone pear shaped since then.

Klemmer is a blunt instrument like Lodge

Pass please Hook

Newcastle without Ponga are a rabble, the gloss has really gone from O’Brien as a coach. Good luck to Friz he took the money and ran.

Its sad to see the Dragons and West Tigers picking up the scraps from other teams all the time. Looks like Dogs have almost completed their transformation while us and tigers keep running on the same treadmill of mediocrity.

Wish we went harder for Gus. Dogs did most of their reset without him whereas we could really use his services. It think its starts with Griffin just being a plodder coach, straight after plodder Mary.

Re Klemmer
well and truly on the way down just looking for a bludge and easy money IMO
I would rather have a young up and comer with something prove

I asked Dragon Dave if there was more to it, you don’t react like that over stupid shit like that, you react when it’s personal, that’s what I thought, then you look at the culture side of it and don’t go there because the fear of being accused of being racist, from everyone because that’s what it is like.
And then they trot out it’s not in their nature to do so but Walker is a very angry doesn’t like being tackle or put under pressure, even Coach has spoken to him, it has not mellowed him at all

Yes yes yes.. why is he so angry?

JDb is twice the lock Finucane is can’t be true

I don’t think Griffin is a plodder, he’s just old school but we knew that. He’s had to deal with a lot in his first year. He’s cut McInnes, Dufty & Norman plus Williame, JP & Ellis. He’s debuted Sloan, Max Feagai, J Hunt & Amone and we’re still in outright 7th.

We’ll have a much different squad in 2022 so I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Ghostrider22]

Yes yes yes.. why is he so angry?

I wonder as well, he shouldn’t be, everything is going all his way.

How so ? Klemmer's work rate in attack and defence puts our props to shame. His work rate is huge. Big metres, rarely misses a tackle and he's one of the most intimidating enforcers in the game, something we sorely lack in the prop department. He's only 27.
Imagine having him on the bench instead of Alvaro or Ellis or Po. Sign him up.

Klemmer will be a good'n for us if he makes it here. James Graham's mate during the doggy days so no doubt if Klemmer comes, it will be like ol' times.

Exactly what Bennett did years ago, good move.

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
