David Klemmer responds to Eels poaching reports and salary cap dramas at the Dogs
CANTERBURY front-rower David Klemmer doesn’t want to leave the club, but would consider all offers if he is forced out of the Bulldogs due to salary cap issues.
The Bulldogs’ salary cap for next season is in a perilous state meaning that a number of highly paid stars are rumoured to be on the outer.
The Morris twins and Moses Mbye are reportedly set to leave the club and Klemmer is the latest name to be tossed around and the man himself admits it is a distraction.
“I had a couple of mates message me,” Klemmer said of the Eels reports.
“I’m contracted here at the moment and I could never see myself leaving, I love the club.
“I was a supporter of the club as a kid and it would be hard to leave, but the club hasn’t contacted me yet.”
The salary cap dramas have placed a strain on the club and the conjecture on some player’s futures could be having a negative effect on players on and off the field.
“It’s frustrating to hear but I could never leave this club,” Klemmer said.
“It’s hard to see but I’ve just got to keep turning up here and I’m still contracted here.”
However Klemmer admitted that rugby league is a business and that players have to do what is right for themselves and their families.
“That’s the reality, it is a business and if you get the tap so be it, but it would be pretty hard to see myself leaving.”
Klemmer did leave the door open to wear another club’s colours if the situation changes, but remains hopeful he can stay at his boyhood club.
“I couldn’t see myself in a Parramatta jersey,” Klemmer said.
“But if I have to look after my family and my kids then that’s an option.”
