Justin Olam #281

You mean this?

Yea it looks bad. Unsure how he would pull up, but yea melbourne and Penrith will get away with it.

That's the one. Hit him with the shoulder.

 

[Twodogs]

Actually, it was this one. Watch from the 53 second mark. There are slow motion views after the normal speed version. No arms were involved in that tackle. He's be charged with a grade 3 shoulder charge is he did that here.

Olam hit on Sam Walker

Yet I see him doing exactly what he should. He can see the overlap, so he is going to hit the playmaker hard and try to disrupt the flow.

Walker gets that pass off, try (as what happened).


Man we get the player closest to Steve Matai and people don't like the guy. Olam, Rip in and go you son of a gun!

Mick Potter years

Gavet came same time as Taupau I'd fancy....
Gavet started well, But faded late in the season and came with plenty of off fied stuff.
Ava tried hard but was never really top tier.

I can't believe the regard Gacet is held in on this forum. Had a couple decent games out of just the 13 he managed to play in 2 years. Never kicked on elsewhere either. Sue and Ava at least racked up plenty of games for the club but that shows how poor our side was. They were really only the quality of fringe first graders and were considered as such when playing elsewhere.
Yes they all enjoyed the contact but none were ever dominant.

Man, who has the best death stare between Olam and Hunt.

Seriously these two guys, man if Justin can start strong he will kill it this year. Any return close to 2022 form and we will be killing it this year

 

[Robbie's Love Child]

I will probably be crucified for this later in the year, but I am predicting a big year for the O Man.

 

[palms]

Could potentially be like a new signing in 2025 in a position we are desperate to fill. We really need Olam to stand up and stay fit.

I was listening to a podcast yesterday they were talking about a friend of theirs who was out one night and was sitting next to Justin Olam. They didn’t know who he was and asked him what he does…
He replied humbly “I play a bit football”. They asked where and what code. He said Melbourne and NRL. This person didn’t know anything about RL and started talking about other stuff but said Olam is super intelligent and has a University Degree in Applied Physics.
I think he’ll have a lot of involvement in the set up of PNG after he finishes playing

He said previously if you want to have a PNG team in the NRL you want to have PNG players representing the club so you need the proper pathways. I am sure he will assist with that.

Reminds me of where I used to go fishing in Balmain. There's a housing commission on one side of the street and multi million dollar apartments on the other side.
Used to chat with the bloke thinking he lived in the housing commission (based on how he dressed, spoke etc)...
Then one day he asked me to come out on his boat...... it ends up he's LOADED living in a top floor penthouse apartment, over looking the harbour.

Yep, he’s dead smart. One of the reasons I didn’t mind him coming here, but also one of the reasons that concerned me. Smart people are usually too smart to bash their body up for to long, and at what stage would he be clocking it in as self preservation. But he has gone had the ops, so maybe he isn’t done yet?

I’m sure he’s another guy wanting to prove he’s not a spent force, especially with a hot pair of halves inside him. Just another sub plot in season 25. Can’t wait !

I have said it before,if Olam comes back after his surgery,gets fit and has his mental attitude at its peak,we will see the devastation he is known for into our backline and with that comes the confidence that the youth need to feed off him..
Api,Jarome,Hunt,May and Olam,now there is some hot premiership experience and knowledge that can only benefit this team and club...
BRING IT ON .....👍😉

Hear what your saying loud and clear

Nothing like Hot Premiership Experience


I had some Hot experience's at a place called the KitKat Club in Berlin in my younger days and there is nothing like Hot Experiences
