Oledski should be modelling himself on Paul Gallen. He’s the same build and has the same attributes.

If he did he would be a hell of a player.

Flip , give him a chance . Is he even 20 yet?

I think he’s 20, but he’s been on the scene for a while now and when you are young your size is the thing you develop the most, becoming a top prop does normally happen until your late 20’s. I just really don’t want him to waste his size and potential.

I've heard a few people say things about Jack Walker like - he's not lived up to his potential, Walker, Newman Oledski and Smith are all still very young, I know they've been around the first team squad a while but we still need to give them time to mature and develop, it's very rare in the modern game that a teenager will be almost the complete article, Sam Burgess was but he was a bit of freak and he's ultimately had his career cut short because of how physical he has been and the toll it's taken on his body.

Maybe i dont know enough of Paul Gallen but i see no similarities and their builds are very different. Their stats show that too.

Fallen is short and squat. Not like Oledzki at all.

I would have liked to see Loui McConnell get a squad number but I guess you can only keep so many of the juniors.
They must see something in Dan Waite-Pullan to retain him again, hopefully like young JJB who was constantly injured early in his career but came good aged 22/23.

Re: 2020 | Squad talk : Fri Dec 06, 2019 2:22 pm  

Loui will be in the reserves next season.

Fair point , same here. My only concern with him would be is he tough enough?

I'm expecting Oledzki to kick on playing in what look's on paper a much stronger front row.He needs to work on the explosive side of his game and also hit that bit harder in the tackle.He can surely only get better playing along side Ava and Prior.

No, Oledzki is more a Chris Feather build.
