Worst of them all...Sonny Bill on the Rugby commentary.Doesnt have an original idea in his repertoire...states the bleeding obvious...again ..and again..in an exaggerated kiwi accent designed to to appeal across the "dutch"
Thnkd goodness I only understand half of what he says.dead rite bro!!
I always record anything rugby and fast forward whenever he appears with a mike anywhere near his hand..mind you..I fast forward about 70% of any rugby game and miss very little play

He was quite decent for roosters. But Dragons aren't a top club. Flanno might be a bad bloke but he is a very good coach

I’m watching the dragons pretty closely as a second club interest.

They have some synchronities with us, but they are still stuck with horrific management and the deck chairs on the Titanic scenario.

Hes got a whole lot to do over there, he looks like he’s aged 20 years already

Actually met the bloke used to deal with him a bit out at North Sydney. He redefines arrogant.

He’s boring too.

I met DWZ once whence he was a dog

He was so humble and cool, Blorey quality of person.

It was during his days of struggle, so nice to see him come back.

I like Blorey, but for the record, it was a sound swap on paper. We simply couldn’t miss the opportunity to get Olam operational again.

Exploratory player surgery, pass me the knife, sutures and wipe my brow!

I think Olam was always under appreciated at the Storm. Lost in the hustle and bustle of marquee.

For us, he’s so big time!

Just my thoughts. I’m looking forward to meeting him.

I read a lot of posts about Olam being past it and injured a lot last year but I heard that he had issues with the Storm rehab team. Apparently they wanted him to play before he was fully fit. Hence why he wanted out early.

Anyone else hear the same story?

I heard he wasn’t happy with the storm management too although a lot of people think it’s the other way around.

There’s comments about how Bellyache didn’t let him play his natural game. Wasn’t getting enough ball.

They are forking out for some of his salary aren’t they?

So long as he’s right and having a go he will see more ball than he knows what to do with.

The players we are bringing in, matched with retained talent, there’s a bit of mad scientist and Dirty Dozen about it. Fascinating.

I think most of the stories getting around are rubbish…. I think they needed to find big money to keep that kid fullback they weren’t intending to come on like - paired with Paps injury and not knowing what’s happening there… I think the other stuff is just to embellish the main reason - they needed the cash and a spot to move a young superstar into the top 30…

He was the one they could sell and free up the most cap space!

Does this mean Linda’s experience with Justin Olam is just a rumour?
