David Klemmer is poised to leave the Wests Tigers, with the Dragons interested in acquiring the unsettled prop. Recently, Klemmer has appeared sidelined at the Tigers, notably missing out on their upcoming trial match against the Eels. Despite having a year left on his contract, reports suggest he may join the Dragons in 2025.
The need for Klemmer arises following the departure of Francis Molo, who was granted permission to seek opportunities elsewhere after initially being denied a release from his contract. Dragons chair Andrew Lancaster expressed that the club’s priority is Molo’s well-being but confirmed that adequate compensation would be necessary should Molo request an official release.
As discussions unfold, Klemmer’s future within the NRL looks increasingly uncertain, casting a shadow over his time at the Tigers. The interest from the Dragons could pave the way for a significant shift in his career, potentially reinvigorating his performance in the league.
Further developments are anticipated, as both clubs navigate the complexities of player contracts and transfers.
