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

Thats your opinion in regards to Olam,understandably his knee problem was the reason Storm let him go,however after his surgery and a good preseason he has the talent and ability to get back to his devestating best...he is dynamic in the centres and even though he played injured this year he competed well in an ordinary side..
Time will tell if your right and Im wrong...cheers..

I like Olam as a player … but if you are honest there were a lot of questions about his knee injury before he signed .. and you would have to say based on this season they were warranted … we still don’t know how he will go next season

Was always in favour of keeping Blore and not at all keen on Olam coming here, so far Blore has been solid since moving to the Storm and Olam, other than one or two games has provided little value, and has in fact proved to be a liability on occasions.

So far this has been pretty much what many on this forum predicted would be the case and we can only hope that Olam's surgery has gone well and that his career has some sort of a resurgence.

Would be nice if the club spent more time giving members and fans some updates on player injuries and their recovery progress and less time congratulating ex players on their successes after leaving here, especially when they had limited or very little success in the time they were here.

what is infuriating about Blore ..,unlike Stef … is that he wanted to remain here … makes it harder to accept … I don’t know what Benji was thinking … only excuse is that this was around the Scott Fulton feud that was happening so maybe he was distracted … even so Pascoe should have stepped in and signed him

I’m not sure the club can legally give much information on a players medical prognosis. I’m sure they could let us know their target return date though.

I think that WTs gave Olam the contract because even though he had the knee problem it was a fixable injury,when you look at Douhi he has had multiple ACL injuries and plenty of time off,Olam will have this preseason and the opening rounds to prove himself,otherwise your assumptions could be right...

Olam has also consistently played 20+ first grade games his whole career (prior to signing with us)

You couldn’t say that about Blore (until this year).

Hindsight has 20/20.

What’s the point in hiring an inexperienced CEO if he’s not gonna do what he’s told? There was a director on the list committee. He may have had some say in recruitment?

The Board was obviously as bad or worse than the previous CEO they appointed.

Thankfully they finally corrected that and they seem to be standing back and letting him operate.
