St Helens' newest recruit, David Klemmer, is eager to make an impact from the get-go, as he embarks on his Super League journey with the club. With a two-year contract under his belt, Klemmer, a former World Cup champion, brings a wealth of experience to the Red Vee. His primary goal is to mentor the younger players while also striving for success.
In an interview with SaintsTV, Klemmer expressed his enthusiasm, stating, 'There's a fire within me that drives me to training, even on freezing days. I'm driven to win, and that's my mindset.' He praised the club's up-and-coming talent, particularly the forward pack, which includes George Delaney, Noah Stephens, Jake Wingfield, and Matty Whitley. Klemmer believes that competing against and training with these young players will inspire him.
Looking ahead to the new season, Klemmer anticipates a challenging start. The club's season opener against the Warrington Wolves on February 13th promises an intense atmosphere. He describes the match as 'hostile' and an 'experience,' acknowledging the Wolves' strength and the importance of this early-season test.
With a limited ticket allocation at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, the match is set to be a thrilling event. Klemmer's excitement is palpable, as he prepares to dive into the Super League arena, eager to make his mark and contribute to the team's success.
