Justin Olam #281

[Sully]

Blore has already signed for Melbourne for 25 onwards though. He turned us down and wants out

Has that actually been reported ?

I know it has been mentioned on here a few times but not seen anything on the NRL , Storm or Tigers websites

I just looked on the Storm web-site and there is no mention of Blore signing with them but it has been reported that he has signed (maybe in the infamous 10 day period - who knows)??

 

[bigsiro]

Did he?

100%. Was a shoe in.

I have no idea why people are poo poo-ing the potential of Olam coming here. He has been a terrific centre, perhaps just under top tier. And it’s a position we need!

Get him WT!

And then for chrissakes get a goal kicker!

Think peeps are being a little unfair comparing Olam to BJ. Very different personalities.

I think Olam is the type who will appreciate the opportunity to get his career moving forward again - injuries aside, he could be a great pickup. Can see him buying into what Benji is building.

BJ was at a number of clubs and always seemed to be a difficult personality to deal with.

 

[Speed2burn]

Not happy.

Blore's gonna be an absolute gun.

A BB gun?

Shown nothing imo .. might turn out ok under Billy Slater but had enough chances here I reckon

 

[Gazlord95]

not too sure how I feel about this - signing would have to be until 2026 (minimum) and he'd be 33 after a really disappointing year where one of the best coaches in the comp dropped him

I guess at least Olam will never be called Justin Oportos.

I see you had a bet each way there. Calling Blore a BB gun but then throw out he might be good under someone else. That way, if Blore turns out good you maintain its just because of Melbourne. Softly played sir, softly played

That’s pretty much my thinking lol, he might be good in a decent system. Wrong player for us though

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

IMO, much better swap would be Blore for Manu, Holmes, Crichton, Graham or even Tedesco!

I don’t know why we just don’t take one of them lol

Don’t think the other side would agree to that

Agree…. Bellyach rarely gets these sort of things wrong…

Name a better centre on our roster than Olam.

Thats what he will always be known as "gonna"

Api.


Sorry, still got the PTSDs from Sheensys selections.

Name a better centre on our roster than Olam.

Galvin end of 24/25, Large end of 25/26.

 

[Gazlord95]

Name a better centre on our roster than Olam.

Idk if I like this argument.

It's like if all I had to drink at my house was Milk and I said I hate milk, and you say name a better drink than milk.

Idk sure theres some out there but all i got in my house is milk

 

[bradexl]

Name a better centre on our roster than Olam.

Olam is a good signing. At 30 he still has much to offer. He isn't washed up yet and still a better centre than Naden or Toa

 

[Odessa]

We’ll gain about 20k PNG fans if we land him. Hes a god over there

Has there ever been a NRL trail in PNG ? Would it be good if the Tigers took a trial there ?
