Justin Olam #281

[twentyforty]

Both knees being operated on is irrelevant. 1 knee was an existing injury .The 2nd knee was damaged last year after he came to WTs. Sure the more info we are privy to the better. Either way Olam is out the door if /when compo or not,

And we don’t have Blore.

Your being unkind it looks nothing like Peter Moussa.

Where's @BZN when you need him.
Fire off an email to Richo mate and get the word.on Olam, Luke L, Turuva Nado etc

Busy thinking of a new handle.

 

[rihannafan1]

Makasini will be added to that centre group before the season is done

You think? Maybe right at the end of the season. He's not there yet or close to it imo.

Moved to signings thread

We have enough back ups. We need to work on getting the best out of them.

We have 4 players who played for us during the spoon years playing for Penrith, we have 5-6 players who played with us playing for Manly who are Top 6.

We have the squad and to be fair, I feel we have always had the squad good enough to not come last. I hope the coaching staff can get the best out of "average" players.

U sure ? lol . ok .Faataape is coming thru with 2 grades .All is his age group /lets get jiggy with it. With a coach some of our new recruits ,joined for yet the majority of league land bag out. Its a bloody long year ,its a longer off season . That help .LOL

Ref blow that whistle!

man that's a weird blast to the past. The NRL pitched at over 50's female chardonay socialist types... Okay I watched some worse adds.

News saying he is retiring

Sad day for RL and PNG RL. He's been a good hard centre for a long time. I wish him all the best for the future and hope RL can find him a position post his on field career.

Agreed and 100%

I was hoping that a fit Olam would run rampant here. At the Storm Olam was an utter gun.

But hey, if he is busted, he is busted. Compo and move on.

Shame we didn't pick that up when the writing was on the wall when he was busted, via melbourne Good luck it's a new ,non-existing knee injured that will only hamper him to fulfill his contract ,playing out his contract at his age for WT or any other club.It is a blight on the club ,to have employed him in the 1st place

So why was this stuffed so badly?

We have a medical team, don't we? Surely they would look at the records Melbourne gave and assess Olam and say: "he is Done" or "he will recover?"

Now I am assuming a lot, including that the second injury did not do him in. But what happened here?

We took forever in signing Olam. Was that the medical team telling the board No? Was the coaching staff?
If Olam was done, how did we not pick this up?

Olam wasn’t the same after breaking his arm. Maybe the Docs also looked at his knees at the same time? With Bellamy playing hardball asking for Blore and Sam Burgess showing strong interest in Olam, I think it was a case of us getting over excited. I’m happy we got Luai without offering up Klemmer and Galvin.

[Year_of_the_Tiger]

Not from the club I can tell - but media reports seem likely - challenge is to medically retire him if we can- to state obvious
