The Rumours Thread

Welch > klemmrr if we're desperate

Welch is a possibility.
Reckon the Storm would be happy for him to leave now and free up some salary cap space.
Could help them to keep Pappy.

With all the piss pulling we have done with Lawrie and Rava, I'm willing to give them another chance on the proviso that Flanno has told them to either perform or its the last gig.

They have contracts. Flanno can sit on it and rotate if that is how they feel.

Think Welsh is average...just making up the numbers in the Storm pack.....certainly not Alpha. Talks a good game.

Hopefully we have someone else in mind
I can't stand Klemmer

The bloke must be nearing the age to claim the age pension , wasn’t he first at the Doggies -a very loooong time ago ?

No , we require someone far younger and with some heart , does not mine the making the hard yards and knows how to tackle .

They can get paid out and off our books, will be a lot cheaper by the end of next year.

AND braindead to boot
No thanks

That probably occurred when James Graham accidentally ( ? ) whacked the big beggar with his elbow when they were both at the Dogs !

Im torn because I think at the bare minimum we need a 1st grade prop in our squad for depth.. but I know full well that watching Welch in the finals, he was so clearly not up to the pace anymore.. now.. maybe he was carrying injuries, but it was like watching the storms equivalent of a Blake Lawrie.

So its a tough call to take that guy on for 1-2yrs.. despite us being a prop short.. maybe we just have to buck up and be patient.. and try to find someone more left-field.... even if we cant get it done by round 1.

This is another way that our supposedly huge war chest could be used. After all, we are required to spend it all, or 99% or something.

You'd need a PhD in Mathematics with a Lawyer's Doctor of Juridical Science qualifications, be a marketing/spin doctor guru who has engaged a very qualified & creative accountant/chief financial officer.

Then you'd still not fully understand the intricate details of the Salary Cap rules.

Or simply don't worry about it and do as you please

Well Dogs were reportedly $1.6m under in 2024. So maybe not or there is more loop holes

They used money on formerly contracted players who were at other clubs (in 2024) like Cotric, Schoupp, Edwards, TPJ & RFM.

 

[redv13]

I’d take Klemmer if it means Lawrie sees no 1st grade

 

[KingFlanno7]

I would be trying to get Bunty afoa over here a year early from the warriors, 2 20min stints full throttle. Klemmer can get tossed honestly haha I would rather *2023* Lawrie

 

[KingFlanno7]

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/LNxioU2VvKHfWKEz/ this is a player with heart, not the biggest motor but when he goes he goes there is a few videos of him just flying into the defence

 

[KingFlanno7]

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/KxvZPU1ZuxJW4cSt/ we need something like this asap

Who is it KFlanno7??

 

[CozDragon]

C


He’ll be coaching Jersey flag this year and also help out with the NRL squad. I’ve been told he’s very well respected within the Junior ranks.

I had heard the same, so was worried we had lost him. Glad he is still around. Wouldn't surprise me if we see him become an AC in the not too distant future.

Gus' spin on this is all bullshit
