CAMERON Smith just saw the blur and felt the hurt.

He might not have known who David Klemmer was when he got rag-dolled by the Bulldogs monster when they clashed for the first time in a pre-season trial but the NSW prop made sure Smith wouldn’t forget him.

It turns out the NSW forward has been going after Queensland’s biggest stars much longer than his two-match State of Origin career.

The 21-year-old was this week accused of being “disrespectful” to Queensland’s forward pack with Corey Parker accusing him of crossing the line during the Blues’ win in Origin II at the MCG.

Klemmer and Smith have beef between them and a history of run-ins.

The first came in a pre-season trial before Klemmer’s debut in 2013 when he targeted the Australian captain.

That’s putting it lightly.

The then 19-year-old pushed Smith without provocation after a tackle and then proceeded to ragdoll the Queensland skipper to the ground and had to be pulled off by teammates while screaming: “You’re a has-been. You’re a f***ing nobody.”

“Who was that?” a stunned Smith responded.

Klemmer’s Bulldogs teammates loved it.

It doesn’t look like the Storm forgot it either, with Billy Slater kicking Klemmer in the head when they met a few weeks later in round three of the 2013 NRL season.

Bulldogs U20’s coach Andrew Patmore admitted his former pupil had a number of clashes with opposition players while looking to cement his spot in first grade.

“I don’t think it would have been a personal thing with (Smith), I just think he wants to impose himself on every game,” Patmore told news.com.au.

“He’s a really competitive bloke at all times. And he certainly makes sure that he composes himself even at training sessions. That’s probably the best way to put it.

“He’s a very competitive, driven kid.

“He’s unique in the sense that he’s handled the step-up so well, especially as a front-rower.

“It normally takes them a couple of years. If he stays healthy it will be a very, very, very long career and a very successful one.”

“You sort of get to know the kid beyond the facade. He’s a very good thinker, he’s competitive, he’s family oriented. I taught his sister at (Westfields Sports High) as well. There’s a lot more to him than the rough and tough side you see when he plays. He’s a quality person.”

Parker told Klemmer to “show some respect” during Origin II only to be told by the Bulldogs prop to: “Get f...ed. You c…”

Parker said his comments were the result of an incident with Klemmer during the first half.

“Obviously you only hear my comments to him and his comments back to me, but a lot goes on in a game of football and it wasn’t just that moment that I was talking about,” Parker told Sky Sports Radio.

“I haven’t seen any comments by him. It is a game of football and there was something that happened a lot earlier in that game, that I’m referring to. I’ll just leave it at that. That’s where that goes from.

“He’s done a fantastic job for NSW off the bench. He’s a big body and he does go hard. That’s what you want from a bench player to really come on and spark that energy when your starting props come off.

“He’s done that superbly for them in the past two games. It makes for a good third game, particularly in Brisbane.”
