"There was no plan about how many minutes I would play [against Melbourne]. We had the majority of the ball while I was on there which was good, I didn’t have to defend that much."The Knights is a big game for us, they'll be fired up coming off a loss so we need to be ready for that.
"David Klemmer is one of those boys you have to match his aggression every time you play them. He uses his aggression to get his team going forward and we need to match that and more." The veteran Knight let his frustration get the better of him in the closing minutes of last week's loss to Souths, squaring off with Keaon Koloamatangi before being sent off for dangerous contact on Daniel Suluka-Fifita.
Klemmer received a fine and is free to tackle the Sea Eagles in a match the Knights must win to have any chance of scraping into the eight. Now in his 10th year of first grade, Klemmer is going as hard as ever, churning out 151 metres per game and hurling his body at defensive lines with the same intensity that earned him 19 caps for Australia and 14 Origins for NSW.
