Olam is gonna be a big influence in the PNG space. He said himself PNG was not ready for an NRL team, and the challenge has been laid out and there aren't many better to take on this challenge of developing PNG RL!

Downfall is the wrong word. He did everything for the game, and lived his dream. If its injury then its injury
