I have no knowledge of klemmers situation but generally how many players in any code have changed clubs franchises for personal reasons and accepted less money. Employees are often on leave due to personal reasons but rarely do they seek accept a promotion / pay rise whilst dealing with personal issues. Cricketers golfers tennis players etc have been known to take a break from their sport for personal reasons but don't go and play elsewhere for more money.
Hope all is resolved soon - he stays, great, he goes, there is $700k plus to spend on quality replacement(s).
I do believe we need some size/ aggression in the front row and some quality in the outside backs.
