Klemmer for Napa?

[QWERTY]

Get this through your thick heads the Chooks wont be signing Klemmer, Johnson or TPJ.

They probably won’t, but it is the end of rugby league season, we need something to talk about

[Thirteen]

Newcastle seem to be printing money.
I know the nrl wants them to be successful, but I didnt know if you win enough spoons you get an unlimited salary cap?

Majority of their squad would be on very average coin.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Im not a real Klem fan...knights are welcome.

[Moose]

Sam Burgess is much better.

And now JWH is back to his best he's the best prop in the game.

but Klemmer is 24, he hasn't even hit his prime yet

[David Bill Williams]

Dumbass knights are offering him a huge 1+ mil per year contract LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

They have to pay massive overs.

[stephenj]

knights might like to release pearce and keep lamb?

Knights need props...and have cap money left to buy Klemmer.
It's what I'd do if I were them.
$13m a season from the NRL grant...why not buy a prop with some of it.

Dragons pay Hunt $1m.
Manly pays DCE $1m.

We pay a million for each of Teddy and Mr Cronk..

Test and best players come with a hefty price tag these days.

Klemmer would be a drop-in replacement for Fergo... except he thinks he's a front rower.

That's why the idea of us 'buying' the GF is so silly. We can only buy in 1 or 2 rep stars to put the icing on the cake. Everything else about the team then has to fit together for there to be a premiership.

[The Brain]

He'd be penalised into early retirement if he came to Bondi.

Come on Bans...Refs turned a new leaf from the semis to the GF ..I luv em now.

[OMR]

Whilst Napa hasn’t set the world on fire but I’d rather keep him as he’s been in our system for too long and plays an important role in the rotation , which has worked well so far. I’d only entertain signing Tapau for his offload ability.

I have no problem with SPINE PLAYERS having 1 mil contracts but a prop with a 1+mil contract is too much for me

you just compared HUNT, DCE, TEDDY and CRONK to KLEMMER...

And I have read Cronks contract was 50k cheaper then pearces which was not at 1mil yet. And Klemmers contract is reported to be 1.2million, you still don’t think that’s too much?

This is the way I see it too.

Also on Kapow surely Dessie will not let him go.

I don’t get the Napalm hate.

I guess someone has to be that guy.

[novice chook]

No way would I want Klemmer on the money he's after - I'd prefer to use that money on retaining our young guns in the backline.

We won a premiership with the props we have - including Napa. So why pay an outrageous amount to bring one in, especially one who apparently has 'personal issues'???

Newcastle are welcome to Klemmer at his inflated asking price.

[The Marshall]

Klemmer has said he wants to get out of Sydney for a new start, so can't see the Dogs releasing him to us.

Don't know what Dylan's on, but he's a handy player to have in your side.

With Crichton coming, Liu will be exclusively a middle forward, so we have him, JWH, SST, Dylan, Zane and Collins (who looks the goods) and perhaps Faamausili will continue to develop.

Agreed, unless we have a suitable (quality and price) replacement then Napa stays. Klemmer is over priced.
