Another thing we have to remember is Benji is after more voices out in the field hence the attraction of Sezer & apparently Olam also brings that. His experience & talk would be very beneficial for a young backline. But as long as his body is right after this season’s injuries.
I’ll send his manager one too, those westsyde guys who manage a lot of Cup & Massey players.
No, I was hammered on here for predicting they would both be flops because of their poor discipline. Plenty told me they were going to go great, some even said they were the best centres in the comp. Olam has been a solid/honest player his whole career and had a bad year. Not the same as them.
Yeah I can’t see Olam being like either of those two. I reckon he’ll put in his all on and off the paddock till he retires. I just hope if we sign him he has no more injuries and can still play to an nrl standard and not decline.
Olam is as bad a defender as any of the above.
I find that hard to believe. For long periods of Olam’s career teams struggled to score over 16 points against Melbourne. We routinely cop 40.
Blore's not going anywhere
Josh Barnett from Wests life has pretty much confirmed Blore is going. He has close ties with Blore himself, Blores partner & Blores family.
With Heighington on our coaching staff I could see Olam learning his trade as a bench impact middle forward to close out his career. Maybe a year or two in the centres and then a year in the kamikaze role.
I was reading up on his injury. It is a rare but very serious sporting injury. Former Bulldog / Panther Tim Brown retired when he did the same thing.
Yep get that we are in a position that we have to take some risks. No doubt Olam also has to weigh up the risks in relation to where he is at in his career and how possibly joining a struggling club like WTs will impact it.
Correct I would have pissed Seyfarts off or Simpkins
Flippers has to be top of the list hasn’t he then Simpkin? Those two are terrible and would barely make it out of reserve grade. But we are stuck with them as everyone knows it.
He played for the Storm. We're the Wests Tigers. Different.
I agree it’s different but the Storm were a defensive rock for years. I never recall people saying Olam was a weakness for them. His form this past year was a concern but he’s got a lot of runs on the board imo.
Who are you going to offload him to?
