Hang on, $4.3m over 5 years? That's $860k a year, about the same as he was on with us for the next 2 years and then he could negotiate a better deal for the 3 years after that. Doesn't seem like he's getting paid much more than he would staying with us. He must be getting seriously pussey whipped.

Hmm, who to believe? Random kennel user with a grudge against Klemmer or NRL.com?

You need a source mate.

As much as we all wanted the knights to get ripped off, we're the ones that got fucked over and there's no point in trying to down play this to ease the pain.
I wouldn't give the media that much credit mate the Telegraph recon its $3.5 million deal over 4 years! They all pull these figures from their ass.

David Klemmer’s Newcastle move confirmed as Bulldogs secure Dylan Napa

Klemmer will officially join the Knights on a four-year contract worth around $3.5 million and start training at the club in two weeks.

The Roosters have released Napa, the Queensland Origin forward, from the final year of his contract to join Canterbury on a three-year deal.

The Dogs insisted on finding a replacement before allowing Klemmer to leave.

Klemmer’s signing gives the Knights a great chance of making the finals next year.

The two deals will be announced later on Monday afternoon.

That article must have changed mate. Go back and check the link. Says 5 year 4mil. Which is even worse for us.

Exactly my thinking.
And, potentially putting his representative spots in jeopardy.
Not saying a move to the knights would certainly kill this but at least you know what you are getting with the dogs, going to the knights is a gamble, they are hit and miss.
That and the fact he is now a branded defector much like Daly Fairy-Evans - We all know how that went for him.
BIG gamble for little pay day in reality.

It's two different articles contradicting each other from different sources so they have just as much clue as some random Kennel user....

Only the club, player and NRL would really know what they earn.

That's $875k a year, not much difference to $860k a year. Maybe the 5th year is an option?

Not gonna spew until I see what they do with the money.
He's only a forward. 5 years lol. He will get sick of that shithole in a year or 2 and break contract again.

Very,very annoyed and disappointed at this but at the end of the day if he doesn't want to play for the mighty Doggies then good riddance! We'll have the last laugh when we win a comp before the knights & he'll think what might have been.Can't wait till we play him & Jackson lines him up & cracks his ribs!Go the mighty Doggies.
