He has been reading the forum. Says he was online on Monday. Wonder why he is not posting.

Sounds like you've been caught lurking Snowman.

May as well stop sulking

You can get banned on here? ****ing hell.

You haven't been banned? You're not trying hard enough!

 

[Matty C of the Shire]

Klemmer possibly available, Fonua-Blake definitely available and Daniel Saifiti possibly available due to Bradman Best’s bumper pay rise. All three very good options I think would improve our pack (despite my slight reservations about AFB’s past, a lot of which was many years ago and I dont think he’s really stepped out of line for a long time, unless im forgetting something, so I say go for it if we can) Just my opinion though.

Bloody oath. Would be a great get and would add a lot of muscle up front .

 

[Thresher]

There is a reason that Klemmer seems to be released everywhere he goes ..

I don't mean to be impatient but I've been waiting over 3 hours for you to finish your sentence and I need to go to bed soon.

Im so disappointed in myself

 

[deano the p]

Obviously AFB would be the best option but I’d be stoked to sign Klemmer & it seems the more likely option

Might be a candidate for the "One Player You Wished Never Played For Sharks" list

I'd pick Saifiti instead

 

[Proud Shark]

Thought Klem was below his peak at newy and don't think he impressed much at the tigs. Not worth anywhere near the price tag for mine.

2 years at about 450k, sure, otherwise I'm not fussed. Signing either him or Saifiti have the feeling that they'll just be disappointing for what you'd need to pay.

This side really needs another elite player. AFB is that guy, but if you can't get him save the cash and plan for a big move in 2025.

AFB would be 2025
He committed to warriors for 2024

He's the **** outta there as soon as the money & club is right.

 

[Vichyssoise]

AFB maybe... A big 'thanks but no thanks' to Klemmer and either Saifiti. Dear me! I'd rather we signed Woods back if that's the case.

…because he has become a plodder and the clubs in which he has moved on from are not overly complimentary .

 

[vicsharkfan]

He has Māori heritage but was born in NSW and grew up in WA

So eligible to play for QLD in the 3 game channel 9 tournament

Is he a plodder though?

Statistically not. Top 10 props from 2023 below. AFB was first and Klemmer a respectable 4th.

The negative stats are impressive

I wouldn’t call him a plodder but he definitely plays more like an old school prop than the Sharks guys do. Stays in the middle of the field conserving energy, not as busy in defence, not as much work off the ball, etc.

He plays very big minutes and stayed healthy. That’s why he’s towards the top of that list. Players who are on the field the most do the most stuff.

… but imo being able to play those minutes and stay healthy is more impressive than any other stat. That would be unique to a 100kg+ player on the Sharks.

As an aside, I’m curious - would you advocate signing Blake Lawrie based on these stats?

After game 3 I heard England have enquired about him playing for them.

That’s the thing though, I really don’t think you’d need to pay big money for Klemmer anymore.

Considering what he’s on, he ain’t going to leave a contract worth 750k to sign elsewhere for less.

You obviously only grab him if the tigers truly do want him gone & are willing to chip in. Although he wouldn’t be the first player to take less to leave a basket case of a club & go to a potential contender.
