David Klemmer has been appointed as Public Enemy No.1 in Queensland in the lead up to State of Origin III, and according to his NSW teammates that is just the way he likes it.
Klemmer’s stoush with Maroons’ back-rower Corey Parker has dominated the headlines since NSW victory at the MCG, with Queensland coach Mal Meninga declaring the Canterbury enforcer would be a target at Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday.
But that won’t worry him at all, said his Dogs and Blues teammate Trent Hodkinson.
“David just goes out and plays the game aggressively and that is the type of player he is,” Hodkinson said.
“He is not going to change his game for anyone. He is going to go into game three as he did in game two and game one, he will prepare the same way and I’m sure he is looking forward to it.
“He will be smiling deep down and that is they type of thing he does.
“He is a very aggressive character, that is the way he plays the game, he doesn’t take a backward step and he won’t again.
“If he gets offside with the Queenslanders, so be it.”
Blues back-rower Ryan Hoffman said Klemmer was again primed for another big Origin encounter.
“I’m sure Klem knows he will have a big target on his back but he is the type of bloke that will be looking forward to it,” he said.
“We know and Klem knows that all he has to do is run hard and tackle hard. No more no less.”
