No, I think he would cost too much. Balancing our salary cap so we still have money to re-sign the like of Suaali, Manu & Walker when they all come off contract in the next 2 years should be our focus so going out and signing premier forwards shouldn't be an option. Robinson has already shown himself to be well-versed in developing talent internally for a fraction of the cost.
Terrific player who's gone to an underperforming side, 27 years of ago so he still ticks a lot of boxes. Just would cost too much for mine.

Klemmer would absolutely tear it up under Robbo but way too expensive JWH, SST, Liu, Collins, Butcher now Baker coming along nicely, I wouldn’t trade any of them for Klemmer, I like him he’s a beast on his day, if he came for under 200k like the Moz brothers to play for a premiership would be the only way this arrangement works.

Too expensive, poor value for money.
We need a replacement for JWH who will wrap up his career within the next year or so. Collins is starting to fit that niche nicely.
The only expensive 'big name' prop i'd want to buy is Payne Haas.
Either way, its got to be someone who will bleed RWB and lead from the front.

He's dropped some Kgs and seems to be going as good as any prop in the comp at the moment. He's averaging more metres than at any other time in his career, still playing good minutes and doesn't seem to have lost any of his desire and passion. Apart from the ACL he did early on in his career he hasn't had any serious injuries or too many head knocks.

The only player I can think of who hasnt been knocked out or had a HIA is Toops

most forwards will resemble midgets soon. Less chance of hitting someone high and harder to stop with a legs tackle , with more chance of being hit high to gain a advantage.
Melboure will have no one over 5 ft in there pack within 2 seasons
