Justin Olam #281

The Clubs media has gone downhill bigtime with updating its fans IMO.
So we would find out about Olam on GF Day when they thank retiring players 😆

I thought we would have had a lot more media interviews over the off season with new players etc.. but it might change once the season starts.
What we replaced our media Manger yet?

Next you will want a metronome or a Newton's cradle.

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

Once again...our medical staff didnt do their job
We have history

Isn’t this a new injury against the broncos, to the opposite knee that was a problem at storm. At least that’s what I recall reading. Could be wrong

It's a new knee injury the club is claiming the opposite one to the storm injury that's right, should be medically retired other clubs have got away with more dodgy calls than ours, even our own Ben Matulino had a dodgy knee when he signed and he was retired.

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.

Those players are the same as they were for us. Average squad players. We just haven’t had superstars to drag them along.

🤣😂 Maybe Rock Hopper....just maybe.

But I've always wanted one of those birds. I was petrified of my Auntie's one as a 3-4 yo but grew to love it.
My ex wife wouldn't let me have one but my partner of over 20 years now has no problem with them. I'd be over the moon if I could get a Magpie one 😁.

He'll be remembered for his toughness, here and from his time @Melbourne.

Good luck for the future JO.
A few here had some pretty shitty opinions on him.

 

[Jolls]

Definitely a great player in his prime. Unfortunately he hasn't been at his peak for us. This is probably the best option ofr both parties. I wish him well as I am sure he will pick up a key role in the new PNG club.

Good luck for whatever the future holds and hope the body isn’t in constant pain post retirement.

 

[weststigerman]

Smart decision to retire now. His body has been through a lot and hopefully he can be pain free in retirement.

 

[hsvjones]

Good luck tom him and his family..

I enjoyed watching him play for us in that small sample.

 

[Lestronge]

Wow some of the posts in the other thread have not aged well at all . .

 

[hsvjones]

I wonder if the club plans to keep him as an ambassador considering PNG coming into the NRL.. He could do wonders over there for us as a club and junior recruitment.
