OFFICIAL Oliver Gildart

[Spartan117]

I don't think we have seen the best of Gildart.

I liked his competitiveness in the early Games

Sheens or Benji? Lol still can’t believe it….

If it wasn't so ridiculous - It would be funny....
Or sad...

Hang on - It might be all 3

I wrote a poem, I poured my heart and soul into it.

Gilly why did you go away?
This is not ok.
All the best
On your future quest.
I think you will go really well
If you can find a better team with which to gel.

You hang in there old mate,
I admire your tenacity....

Anyone else thinking WT are scared to announce his release after what happened with Leilua?

No I think it has to do with the next deal being brokered. Leeds or Lee sorry cannot remember which one it was mentioned they need to make cap space. He is keen to go back to be home with his English teammates and start pushing for a World Cup squad spot but the spot in the ESL team isn’t yet available.

I have said this before, but Gildart is simply not the same player he was first few years.

He had electrifying pace and a Michael Jennings like swerve early years. He has broken down more often than Josh Reynolds last few years, including chronic injuries and won't ever be the same.

 

[Long Term Fan]

Great decision to let him go. Not good enough for week in week out grind of NRL.

If WT want to be competitive we have to not sign or release players like this.

It's the players Storm rejects that makes them good.

 

[tigre]

The right call. Not good enough for the NRL grind.

correct, like our recent coaches, buying players does not have any logic
e.g.
we need props/2nd row
=> we buy anybody but the props

we need fast players
=> we buy has-beens;

we need players to fit a certain role
=> we buy who is the most expensive

How many games did he play? 2?
Gildart who.

agree. He has a lot of attacking upside and i think could be a handy pick up for a side that can get fair share of field position and possession. Probably not as a first choice centre yet but a project player that only needs a year of development.

And Bennett has history with Gildart as coach in the UK.

 

[tigre]

his ESL deal has fallen through

Couldn’t tackle his grandmother either. Big disappointment

I don't know, Gertrude Gildart was a pretty handy women's league player back in the day.

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

WT confirm Oliver Gildart has joined the Roosters on loan for the remainder of 2022 and will return for preseason 2023. Given Dolphins and Super League links so far, would be surprised if that is the case.

 

[Curaeus]

Hope, like Noffa, he returns to us a better player. Seems a win-win for both clubs and the young man gets a chance to play finals football with a good team
