Podcast appearances and mentions of justin olam

Wests Tigers started the 2025 NRL season on a losing note, succumbing to the Knights 10-8. The loss at Campbelltown Stadium in front of a healthy and revved up crowd makes it seven straight losses against the Newcastle side. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast we pull apart that Friday evening game and try to find exactly what went wrong. One of the items up for discussion is the clunkiness of the Jarome Luai and Lachlan Galvin halves partnership. What can be done to fix this? Did the club make a mistake not playing Luai in the trial against the Eels? And why we need to find some more depth in our attack. Also under the microscope is the poor kicking games exhibited by both halves. There's also a look at how the return of Api Koroisau, Starford To'a and Jerome Bula might help fix some of the offensive issues that we all witnessed on Friday. What happened to the defense? The statistics show that Wests Tigers missed a mammoth 52 tackles in the loss to the Knights, we try to investigate what happened and what can also be done here to remedy the issues. While it isn't all worries and concerns, we also highlight a few bright spots out of the game. Thank you to everyone who left their 'One Word' submissions on the game at the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum. We run through all of those with a good mix of both pessimistic and optimistic feelings on where the Wests Tigers stand after another Knights loss. More roster changes? And we take a look at some impending changes to the roster with David Klemmer and Justin Olam potentially off the books as early as this week. While another former Panther might be about to join the Wests Tigers stable! Thanks for your support and we look forward to bringing you the next edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast mid-week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was great to see the Wests Tigers in action on Sunday, though most of our star players were absent. This edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast is a look back at the 20-14 (four tries to three) loss to the Bulldogs at Kogarah. As per tradition, we start with a healthy list of 'One Word' submissions about the trial from members of the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum. Then we look at some of the positives to come out of the game, including the impressive performances of guys such as Kit Laulilii, Solomon Saukuru, and new buy, Jeral Skelton. These good showings might make for some rethinking of the round one Wests Tigers team, along with this Friday night's trial against the Eels at Leichhardt Oval. Other positives? It is fair to say that the Wests Tigers look fitter than last year, while there seems to be some real class coming through in the next generation of playmakers. While the strong performances from Royce Hunt and Brent Naden in the Indigenous All-Stars game also give us reason to be optimistic. More questions than answers Joel Helmes, Garry Watson, and Nick Hayes, also look at some of the head scratches that still exist, including: Sione Fainu, is he a chance of playing on an edge in the NRL? What will Tim Johannssen's future bring? Who will play fullback in Round One if Bula isn't available? What is going on with Justin Olam and his knees? If he is out, who will play centre for Round One? Is Luke Laulilii out for an extended period? Some things to be concerned about too. On the other side of the coin, the boys raise some concerns out of the trial match, including the performance of a couple of guys who we thought might be genuine NRL prospects this year. We hope you enjoy this first post-match edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast for 2025 and don't forget to join the conversation right now at the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum!

The news cycle does not sleep in the NRL with another loaded episode of The Tip Sheet covering everything happening in the code. Sixties, Forty20 and Clint look at the latest happenings in Parradise alongside big news for the rugby league Hall Of Fame as well as troubling trend creeping back into officiating. Nathan Brown is set to be announced as the right hand man to Jason Ryles in a major step forwards for the coaching staff. Brown, of course, is very familiar with the club and the boys discuss how he will fit right back in at the Eels. Team List Tuesday and the weekend wrap round out a busy week for the club. There was plenty of spicy action in the NRL and NRLW as the show looks at blowouts, close contests and everything inbetween. The hall of fame has some cracking new inductess but Forty20 doesn't agree with the timing of one individual with a slam dunk resume. The boys then fire up about serious consistency issues from officials when it comes to calling obstruction. What exactly is going on and why has this crept back into the game? Shaun Johnson has announced his impending retirement and the boys pay tribute to one of the most exciting playmakers of this current era. The episode rounds out with a look at Justin Olam's controversial high shot - was it a send off?

On this week's episode of Behind the Roar we chat to Wests Tigers Player #281, Justin Olam, ahead of the team's Round 18 match against Melbourne Storm.Adored in his homeland Papua New Guinea, Olam has also developed a big following here in Australia since his arrival in 2017, following six seasons with the Storm. ‘Juzzie', who didn't start playing rugby league until he went to university, tells us about how he had to learn on the run when he first joined Melbourne, admitting he knew very little about the game. It was a steep learning curve, eventually developing one of the most powerful centres in the game, admired for his sheer ferocity, and feared for his ------ We talk about the evolution of footy in PNG, the chat with Benji that lured him to Wests Tigers, and the ‘little things' in a game which have big consequences. We also chat about his upbringing, his education, his love of nature and a whole lot more.

In episode 44 of Behind the Roar we chat to veteran half Aidan Sezer ahead of Easter Monday's match against the Eels. Aidan has played more than 150 NRL games and made his first starting appearance for Wests Tigers in Saturday night's glorious win over the Sharks at Leichhardt Oval.  He's a wonderful character with a great sense of humour who is grateful for the opportunity he's been given at Wests Tigers after spending four years in England. Sezer, or ‘salad' as he's affectionately known, covers plenty of ground in this 40-minute episode, dishing the dirt on one of his ‘coffee snob' teammates, and reliving the time in England when he fell victim to Johnny Bateman. He tells us how he's loving life at Wests Tigers under the coaching of Benji Marshall, showering praise on Api Koroisau after his ‘masterclass' last weekend.  Sezer also explains why it's such a thrill to be playing alongside a rookie five-eighth, what the sheer presence of Justin Olam means to the team, why Bateman is such the good leader he is, and the backstory to Wests Tigers new team song. You'll hear about the improvements made against the Sharks following the loss in Canberra, and ‘the basics' that the team must get right against the Eels on Monday. All that and more on Behind The Roar.

Sauce welcomes Premiership Winner, “Centre of the Year” winner at the Dally M's, PNG International, and West Tigers star centre, Justin Olam to the show!

The Wests Tigers are back in action this Saturday with the second of our two pre-season games. After accounting for the Warriors over in New Zealand last Sunday, Wests Tigers and St.George Illawarra take their Pre-Season Challenge game to the beautiful NSW country town Mudgee. On this mid-week edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Eddie Otto is joined by Garry Watson and Steve Stretton. The guys wrap up that Warriors game, with Steve and Eddie bringing us their thoughts on the performance. Then the attention shifts to one of our favourite podcast features, a round of Buy, Sell, or Hold. There's also a preview of the Dragons match, including a look at the naming of new recruit Justin Olam in our side. Eddie, Steve, and Garry discuss what we want to see in this game and which players need to stand out to be a chance of selection in Round Two. Playing in Round Two (against the Raiders) means we will have to sit and watch every other team run around in Round One of the 2024 NRL season, including the Las Vegas doubleheader. Eddie asks if this might be a mental hurdle for our side. There's a look at the naming of Api Korisau as the club's skipper for 2024. And there's some coverage of the comments made in a podcast interview with the former Wests Tigers CEO, Justin Pascoe. It's our first official mid-week edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, we hope you enjoy it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we chat to Solomone Saukuru, a 19-year-old centre who has played the past few seasons in Wests Tigers pathways teams, and well on the mend after post-season shoulder surgery. He talks about the challenges he faced when entering pre-season but unable to train with the main squad, his goals and aspirations over the next 12 months and beyond, his father's influence on him as a person and a player, and how he's enjoying training alongside the team's most recent recruit, Justin Olam.

We're nearly there! Both Wests Tigers Podcast episode 300 and the kick-off to the Wests Tigers season are imminent. But, on the edge of these two milestones, we have a lot to discuss on this edition of the pod, including...and this seems a bit of a shock and certainly a first on this pod, Greg Inglis! Out of the blue, Inglis is seen at Wests Tigers headquarters in Wests Tigers colours. We now know that the former South Sydney star has taken up a mentoring and support role with our young fullback, Jahream Bula. Eddie Otto, Steve Stretton, and Garry Watson discuss the influence that Inglis might have on Bula and the club in general. The boys also take a look at the recent interview Benji Marshall did with journalist Brent Read.  There were some interesting comments in there by the head coach, including the prospect of rookie Lachlan Galvin being a genuine chance of selection. This was followed up by another article by The Mole that said Galvin, who was dubbed "the next Nathan Cleary" in the article, was looking likely to take the number 6 Wests Tigers jersey in Round Two. There was speculation in that story that Jayden (Bud) Sullivan and Latu Fainu were in doubt due to injuries. Garry has an update on all of that. New recruit Justin Olam also comes up on the agenda with concerns the former Storm centre might have some injury issues himself. And then the boys put the Wests Tigers 2024 backs and halves under the microscope to see how we're shaping up and what our all-important depth looks like.

If you want to get close to the Melbourne Storm, everything has to go right.At AAMI Park on Monday night, just about everything went wrong for the Warriors – after a promising first half – as they fell to a record defeat in the Anzac clash, eventually losing 70-10.They conceded a staggering thirteen tries, in what ended up as the biggest loss and worst humiliation in the club's history.The Warriors had only trailed 16-10 at halftime, but three tries in six minutes early in the second half ended their resistance.The Storm disappeared out of sight after that, as the Warriors could barely completed a set in the second half.The visitors were left to rue costly errors in the first half, which gifted two tries to the Melbourne team when the contest was still in the balance.To compound their nightmare, the Warriors also lost Josh Curran and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak to serious injuries.It was the Storm's 12th successive win over the Auckland team, a run that dates back to 2015.The manner of the defeat will be a hammer blow for Nathan Brown's team, after they competed well in the first period before completely falling away in the second.The Storm are a brutally efficient machine and once they clicked into gear, there was no respite for the Warriors.There was a late switch before kick-off, with Jazz Tevaga moving to lock, Josh Curran to the right edge and Bayley Sironen supplanting Eliesa Katoa on the bench.After a wonderful, poignant Anzac ceremony, the Warriors made a solid start, before an oh-so-typical Melbourne Storm try out of nothing, with Jahrome Hughes finishing a 90 metre counter attack after an unfortunate Ed Kosi spill, with the visitors hot on attack.That was tough to take, but the Warriors rebounded quickly and a superb flat ball from Chanel Harris-Tavita sent Dallin Watene-Zelezniak across in the corner.The Warriors then enjoyed their best period of the first half – with some flat passes and dynamic offloads – but an impetuous Reece Walsh kick released some pressure, then another Kosi fumble gifted Xavier Coates a try.The same unfortunate pattern continued, with Nick Meaney intercepting a risky Shaun Johnson no-look pass, to extend Melbourne's lead.But the Warriors didn't buckle and a superb Johnson chip – and devilish bounce – put Wayde Egan in beside the posts on the half hour mark.That lifted the Auckland team, though they needed some impressive scrambling defence, with Harris-Tavita then Euan Aitken coming up with vital stops on a flying Ryan Papenhuyzen.Papenhuyzen penalties either side of halftime extended the Storm's lead, before Curran limped off with a knee injury.Things got much worse quickly, as Watene-Zelezniak was stretchered off after an awful collision with Nelson Asofa-Solomona, as he unsuccessfully tried to defuse the prop's bomb, which was instead collected by Papenhuyzen.That double blow felt like the end of the road and that was confirmed by Nick Meaney's try three minutes later, after Walsh had – for the second successive game – sent the kick off long.Harry Grant powered over, before Coates grabbed three more tries, as things started to get embarrassing, with the Warriors shellshocked and their edges all at sea, before Hughes, then Bromwich, then Justin Olam completed the rout.Warriors 10 (Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Wayde Egan tries; Reece Walsh goal)Storm 70 (Jahrome Hughes 2, Xavier Coates 4, Nick Meaney 2, Ryan Papenhuyzen 2, Harry Grant, Jesse Bromwich, Justin Olam tries; Ryan Papenhuyzen 7 goals, Nick Meaney 2 goals)Halftime: 16-10- Michael Burgess, NZ Herald

A pivotal junction in the season has arrived for the Parramatta Eels as they face down the Melbourne Storm amidst a historic moment in the making. Craig Bellamy and his men are chasing the longest win streak in rugby league history in Australia. It creates a fascinating backdrop to a game where Parramatta are desperately trying to gear up their finals campaign. Sixties and Forty20 analyse a truly formidable Melbourne line-up and try to find a thread to pull apart. They canvas the statistical dominance of the Victorian franchise in 2021 and how it has made them the premiership favourites yet again. The Eels have made several changes this week and the boys chat about each of them, including the return of Blake Ferguson. The scintillating match-up between young gun Will Penisini and Storm powerhouse Justin Olam is a big talking point before the boys look at how Parramatta can attack the Storm in broader strokes.

Justin Olam is a professional rugby league player in Australia and has represented his country’s national team the PNG Kumuls on several occasions. One of his proudest moments in sport was winning the NRL premiership in 2020. It was a moment that “didn’t feel real” and it took him a while to believe. Putting his home country’s jersey on for the first time was up there as one of his proudest and favourite moments too. Justin’s early upbringing in Simbu Province, Papua New Guinea, is an interesting one. He credits the success he has to his mother. She was the person who helped him to stay focused on his studies. She always made sure that his responsibilities of chopping firewood and carrying water from the river were done so his family could prepare their meals. After his responsibilities were done he could then take time to play. He believes this example of his upbringing is what gave him a good start to be successful in life. Justin is a huge believer in education and encourages the youth in Papua New Guinea to take their studies seriously so that they can have a better chance at living a successful life.
