NSW coach Brad Fittler has controversially cut one of the game's premier front-rowers, Knights prop David Klemmer, from his 27-man squad.
Klemmer is also one of NSW's most capped players with 14 games of a possible 15 over the past five series, but his position in the team has been somewhat clouded in conjecture since Fittler took over in 2018.In his first series in charge, Fittler was set to overlook Klemmer in favour of Ryan James, who had been booked on a plane from the Gold Coast to Sydney, only to change his mind at the 11th hour.
It comes a week after Fittler left out Tariq Sims and Paul Vaughan, who both featured in NSW's series victory last year. Fittler will continue to add players to his squad as teams are knocked out of the premiership race in the coming weeks. As it stands, six of the 27 spots in the squad have been filled. Saifiti and Lomax join Payne Haas, Tyson Frizell, Jake Trbojevic and Cameron McInnes.
