Olam

NBWT twitter:
Benji was asked about the signing of Justin Olam, and mentioned he was the loudest centre he played against in terms of talk and communication.

Not sure why, but I found this comment surprising, I guess I expected a quiet bulldozer type guy?

I would've suspected him to be a quiet guy.

The man himself.

I watched that earlier and thought if we had a fit Olam playing against Canberra, would the final score be any different?
When Api scored, maybe having Olam could have sustained a bit more pressure and kept it close

He'll be an asset thats for sure. I was very worried about our left edge with Galvin and Faataape there. Olam will certainly sure it up.

Interested to see Naden on an extended bench, if fit wouldnt surprise if he comes in for Faataape on saturday.

He had an impact, great get for us

He's lifted the "get real" bar for us already....out there he looks even more " unWTlike than Api!

I'll admit that I was pessimistic about him signing with us. Incredible debut for us and Im glad he had his first game at Leichardt. It seemed like the loudest roars from the crowd tonight were reserved for him. Great to see.....seems every bit of a professional too.

When Api and Olam combined for that try it wasn't the old WT having a go
..it was two winners from the top shelf demanding a result and getting it...will never know but my guess is that Api's and Olam's "not leaving anything out on the field" effort and attitude will probably have lit a fire under Pap's and Bateman's arses as much as they showed the young guys the way

What an absolute weapon. Bloke got written off by the entire league after 8 poor weeks whilst injured after 5 straight great years. Hard to believe a centre could have such an influence on a team but there you go.

Yep...spot on. He was a man on a mission last night.

Olam is probably my fave non Panther in the league.

Dude just plays every tackle at 100%.

If the defender doesn't commit 100% they feel it and he rolls right through.

Good to see he isn't washed.

 

[Tigerm]

He’s already turned out to be an astute buy, hasn’t he.

If Olam fights the charge and loses then that's the last we'll see of him this year.
He's not contributed that much since coming to us.
