The club has to draw a line.
The Broncos and Roosters never have the players running the show, nor do player managers hold their clubs to ransom.
The club needs to make a statement with troublesome player managers, i.e Isaac Moses, as well as troublesome reporters.
Any player associated/managed with Isaac Moses will not play or have any contract negotiations with the Bulldogs whatsoever.
When players are signed or re-signed every contract should have a penalty clause for a player who wants to leave before there contracts are up. If they disagree with the terms, they obviously do not want to play for the jersey. If they agree, then its obvious they want to play for the jersey and they are paid to the last cent for the full term.
This is all Isaac Moses' doing with brainwashing young players with a calculator.
To a certain extent, i believe in the "if a player does not want to stay, there is no point in keeping him" but we have to avoid these situations, and as the old saying goes, hit them where it hurts, in the back pocket, because everyone hurts and thinks about the back pocket.
In this instance, the CLUB MUST DRAW A LINE RIGHT NOW and i would not let Klemmer off lightly and give that scumbag Isaac Moses what he wants.
Ponga left the Cowboys for the cash and not for an "opportunity". He is on 600k, which is unders. I would be on the phone right now and offering Ponga 4.6m over 4 years and you can bet your bottom dollar Ponga will jump at Newcastle.
Can Newcastle afford both players? Who knows!
Which player would you choose at $1.1m, Ponga or Klemmer?
Klemmer is on top dollar for a prop at the Bulldogs and Newcastle are throwing absolute overs at him as no other NRL club can.
Its time the club fights back
