If Olam is busted his whole tenure here I’ll form the same view.

we can’t afford two more years in the cellar waiting to find out

 

[BAGNF05]

so trading him for Olam helps ?

At least you have got your excuses now for best year … “How is Luia supposed to perform behind this forward pack “?

Funny a few people here skipped year two where they taught you the difference between the words excuse and reason.

funny that you use the weaknesses in the team that they create as an excuse

I’m not saying Olam was a good signing.

I have similar concerns about Bird.

it’s one of the dumbest signings they have made ( Olam) … the equal of anything Pascoe and Lee ever did

Wrist and nose and that’s just from memory.

He missed close to 100 games through injury in 4 years 💪🏻

I'd say around half of this forum can see it, the other half must be advising the Wests Tigers management and Football department. 🤣

Not a chance.

Pascoe handed out $900,000.00 (4 year) contracts like they were cupcakes.

so what about Olam Hank ? Good signing ?

Funny to think we have struggled over the years with Second Rowers yet next weeks GF likely to see two ex WT in the Second Row. Blore and Garner. Are WT missing something that Storm and Penrith see?

Not really. They can develop players. We give players a crack and hope for the best.

Name a specific worse decision than Olam

Josh Reynolds. Never played more than 10 games in 3 years. On 800-900K.

Olam played 13 for the record.

But the list is a long one.

Missed close to 100 games in 4 years?

Now that's a bit of a stretch when there is not much more than 100 games in 4 seasons of regular games. 🤣

Cleary made that call

I since corrected my maths. The good teams go closer to 30 games per year, I was forgetting how shit we are.

wow 13 games … ring the bell

You think Pascoe was signing off on contracts?

But let's compare apples with apples.
Like, Blore and Garner are now surrounded by top notch rosters.
Helps if you have better players, and especially not having 10 players around them who had never played NRL before, as happened with us this year.
Team settled, and comfortable about systems, processes and abilities.
We only wish that can happen.
And quick.

PS almost forgot:

And chairman confirmed, along with a settled board to comply with the review criteria.

it’s pretty accepted Cleary was making the player decisions … Reynolds wasn’t even his worst … that would be Rusty Packer

Haha a few posts back you had Blore’s best of 15 as ok.
