TOOHEY'S NEWS: We need to talk about David Klemmer

Listen to the latest episode of Toohey's News: The Podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It has been a sensational week for the Newcastle Knights. After a shocking defeat to the Bulldogs at the weekend, raising tensions and frustrations among fans, it emerged star player David Klemmer would be left out of the side for their clash with West Tigers on Sunday.

Klemmer was issued a show-cause notice on Tuesday for reportedly failing to come from the field late in last week's 24-10 drumming and is alleged to have sprayed club trainer Hayden Knowles and stayed on the field for a couple of minutes before ultimately running off.

Arguably the side's best player for this season, Klemmer's omission from the side this weekend has left former teammates bewildered, and fans enraged, as the fallout continues.

Speculation around Klemmer's future at the club is circling and, as fans wait to learn what comes next in the unfolding drama, the Newcastle Herald's top Knights reporter Max McKinney joins Toohey's News host Barry Toohey to break down what has happened and how the club can weather the headwinds.
