Official: Knights sign David Klemmer for 5 years

[Joshhh]

Klemmer & D Saf both on song at once will be monsterous.

You beauty!
the next few years should be great.
Just need to lock up Ponga long term and develop & keep a few youngens and we are set for a good future.

His price tag is a lot better than the previously reported 1.2mil as well.

Got to admit I was doubtful it might happen, dragged on but now it was worth the wait, come on 2019

What a bargain. 860k for 5 years is exceptional.

 

[Joey1245]

Joey watch my lips.

No way José!

Yes way!!!

Bet we found a very large 3rd party to go with that - but that's OK - he'll earn that for however pays it.

The best part is all the butthurt Bulldogs fans who thought Klemmer was leaving for more money are and have gone quiet, he just doesn't want to be apart of the mess. And secondly, that Buzz's/Telecraps initial report that it was a four year deal with the quoted price and not five years. So they can all <explicits>

I never really feel comfortably giving anyone a four-five year deal these days (Pearce and Ponga 1000% deserve it) but we'll see I guess.

 

[Rob]

Nice. Build up is gonna be huge!

 

[cowboyman]

Mooney comes through with the big signing. Am I right?

 

[nunnsy]

The best thing is we went after bird and got Pearce instead and went after matt scott and got klemmer instead. The recruitment has been unreal ponga, Pearce and klemmer cant get much better ramien looks like a bargain aswell.

 

[danknights]

Yeah the boys! Should keep us in good stead to keep our top liners happy.

That right there is a premiership window creaking open. If we can gel nicely together as a team, shore up our defensive lapses we can be contenders with this team I believe. Maybe not this season, but we should be looking at top 8 this year and challenging for the title the year after.

 

[Ak-47]

Top 8 next year

 

[Billy]

So we've still got close to a million to spend - Kurt Mann will take up 5c of it -

I hope we can use the rest to sign up Mrs Brown to a 10-year, $800k/year contract to keep that butter chicken coming.

Players like Ponga will get more if we make top 4 though

Wasn't that 2.2 before we signed Lino, Gavet, Woolford, Hunt etc. ?

And have some luck with injuries. We still lack depth big time. It will take a few years to become a strong enough club for the 2nd tier players to take unders to play with us.

I can't see any player taking unders to play for us to be honest. Those taking unders at other clubs are likely getting the diff made up in TPA and we haven't been the best club for TPA's.
