Olstrum signs 2year deal

[TrueBlue]

Finally put that jam rumour to bed.......2 year deal for Olstrum

[townie88]

Great news. Not just because hes is a teriffic player, hopefully menas we wont be signing hepi! Olstrum seen the light, now hopefully ell will.

[rockerlad]

I noticed most of the squad Signing for more than one year. So this time next season the club will still have the squad sorted

[Old standoff]

Great news about Karl he's head and shoulder above Hepi and far too good to commit to that rabble at the. moment just hope Elliot sees the light before it's too late.

[wonky]

We've seen the real Karl over recent weeks. Solid as s rock, a real handful in attack and gives us that aggression we sometimes lack. Great news.

[Townie123]

Need his position sorted - and given game time - too good to be on the bench I'm afraid

Good news

If Elliot has signed for them... And it's a big IF money aside I bet he's starting to have doubts over this past week

[dkw]

Good news, he's an excellent player, prefer him over hepi without a doubt.

i think he's a prop now, the yards he makes in the tackle is more than our big fellas do. Well according to rumours in previous weeks they had offered Karl mega bucks as well, obviously not. So maybe the ell Miller rumours are just as much rubbish as that one was.

[town4me]

Get in there! Great news.

[DavidM]

Silly season rumours 1-0 reality ... Excellent news. We've kept hold of the real deal townie !

Always be in my 17 , makes as many yards as anyone up the middle and just granite hard , which you need . With him and mcavoy being so similar , I do think we need to look at a different type of 13 as well if we want or need more creativity sometime

[wonky]

So haven were signing shacks, olstrum and ell. 2 down 1 to go.

Whitehaven had made excellent offers to Karl and Elliot and in both cases talks with the town board have been ongoing. Finishing fourth and the NES Ansaldo deal has give us extra resource and that's Karl secured. Hopefully Elliot will follow

[DavidM]

So as you know as of now it's not a done deal with them ?

fingers crossed marra

[PLD]

Geez that's a turn up for the books.

 

All the Whitehaven fans at work were telling me he had signed for the shower down the road (when have we heard that before)!!!!

 

[gillmeister]

This is just my interpretation but the two had better offers from Haven because they had more available under there budget at that moment in time. Finishing fourth and the renewed NES deal is a game changer that will have given us extra financial scope. I'm delighted that Karl has committed only time will tell with Elliot but if worst comes to worst we should be able to replace him with a high level performer if PV deems he needs to

[dkw]

Poor old deluded tax/gym Dodgers, same old garbage every year.

[Terry Mac]

To be fair to Whitehaven they realise that our players are far far superior to their own, so it's only natural they'd throw mega bucks at them. And fair play to olstrum he's put ambition above money.

[bomberisgod]

welcome back Karl.

Ha ha.... the missing man and his minions are now claiming Olstrum has only stayed at Town because Town offered him more than the Mighty Haven were willing to offer him.... Don't you just love the tales they come up with to justify why a lot of locals are choosing not to join the Mighty Haven.

to be fair that usually what happens with negotiations

[DavidM]

Same people who said it isn't always about money ?

[dkw]

So when he was signing for the jam it had nothing to do with money, yet now he's staying it's all about the money. Interesting.

[OttO]

Just like when the local amateurs are turning down the Mighty Haven it's all down to money..... they truly are deluded if they can't see what is going wrong down there.

 

NMP are on their way out and with Sellafield having to tighten it's purse strings due to cost increases I can't see any extra cash heading it's way to the Wreck

[DavidM]

Good pic on Twitter of the signing moment ... Bet there plenty of clauses to be agreed to in that contract !!! ( sorry Karl ! )
