It’s not even a question that should be asked lol..

Fucking Napa every day of the week, and he looks better in a doggs jersey than David ! Oh an he is also much happier playing for us as well.

Close thread haha.

Klemmer hasn't helped the Knights make the finals, he is overrated. Napa has been disappointing. I my opinion Aidan Fonua-Blake is the pick of the props. Wish we could steal him from Manly and stuff Hasler up.

Signed Napa over him when he was available? Could be wrong tho.

Klemmer is killing it in base stats at the Knights... Napa hasn't done shit all here. Such a depressing switch.

Initially Napa was ok. I thought we were getting a same for same swap tbh. But he isnt as consistant as Klemmer and only has odd great games, where Klemmer puts out the same every week. So yeh, with more hindsight, id say Klemmer is better for sure.

The story of Peter Mulholland going to Klems house and talking to his mum about bringing him to the Dogs as a young bloke is an absolute favourite.. and I was sad when he took the money with the knights.

But if I'm totally honest in hindsight im glad he went. He has great stats and his post contact meters are up with the best. However, Klems highlight reel isn't filled with runs from the Back fence or crunching pain riddled tackles. He's a metre eater but he doesn't dominate or intimidate other fowards. (except maybe Aaron woods...)

And Nappa is an enigma. Does the odd tough thing but lacks consistency and is why he was mostly used as a bench toward to be an impact at the rorters. He is not a pack leader.

I wonder if Napa is the player mentioned in the Sunday Telegraph as Origin player close to being dropped?

I don’t think dylan napa has achieved anything too significant this season at the dogs. He has been okay but I was expecting more hits and aggression. Yes he is probably overpaid.

But what about klemmer. He had another fantastic night tonight- 110 metres gained and 50 post contact metres... but the knights got smashed. In fact the whole year klemmer has been solid- gaining heaps of metres but these performances have only helped his team come like 11th!! I say he is way more overpaid, way more overrated and less cool than napa

I am so glad we got rid of klemmer now that think about it. He Is history now

Can't compare Napa to Klemmer he is just not as good. But Napa going ok this year was a bit off when he came back from injury but getting back into it now. He is playing a lot more mins with us than he did at the Roosters just needs a bit more conditioning.

They're completely different / opposite players. Klemmer has great leg drive. His only real advantage is getting you up the field. No attacking threat though whatsoever and I always thought he tackled like a pussy actually - never dominant in any way which I always thought was a waste considering his size. Guys much smaller than him can hammer. While Napa isn't as effective in gaining metres he has more ability to offload and he's better in defence just for the fact he hits harder. I know he misses sometimes but when he pulls off a good one it's another highlight and great to watch. Klemmer's boring. We really need a big body / decent hitter like Napa when we take on big forward packs like the Rabbits and Broncos.

Napa has made some ground on Klemmer recently but Klemmer still ahead for the season. Neither has been sensational at any time
