Free hit, why not !!
I’m tipping he has some ability with the oval shaped ball, for Blair and co to show interest
And I don’t think there’s any salary cap implications for cat Bs.

The basketball experiment has already produced 1 premiership player for us.
Wonder how much footy he played as a kid? Did he do Auskick and gave away footy to focus on Basketball.
Went to Peninsula Grammar but didn't play footy at all from U16.
Anyway, he is going to hate preseason, dragging 114kg around the Tan. Good luck Ollie!

He’s gonna have to shave at least 10kg off that frame this pre season.
Yes it does as we have limted cat b spots.
Since we already have a project dinosaur bball plyer, why use the other on a better Irish prospect

need to save some for louie meehanSpending our extra soft cap space post Hardwick wisely.
Makes Matte look super slow...this guy has the moves!!!!
Meat...he's from da pen..in..shoe..la!!!
Have to ask that University guy that!
He seems like a Colina that can jump.
In all seriousness, there must be some theory behind this signing.
I suspect it is some combination of the following thoughts:
- Go obscure mature. It is risky drafting an 18yo Tim English beanpole as you are waiting 6 expensive years for the guy to start to win his position, meanwhile he has to be played if he shows promise otherwise you lose him. Thus the recent focus on obscure mature rucks, Ryan was 20yo, Colina 22yo, this bloke OHB at 23yo.
- all 3 of the above are very tall, so the club seems to be recognising it would be beneficial to have a very tall ruckman if you can find one who is good enough
- Hartley may know we are losing at least one of our rucks
- Colina's Burt Bacharach might prevent him carrying on, or is a risk so you are spending time and effort developing him. If OHB piggy-backs the Colina program then there is less risk the development time is wasted.
- They want a guy to train with Colina, learn and develop together as this may assist their development, at the same time basically doubling our chances of getting a giant ruckman up to speed.
- The club just thinks OHB is a talent they can't resist trying to develop.

I hope he has more success than the other hyphenated players that we have recruited.

No, only 2 spots available which are both used. I suspect that Mate Colina may not be given another year given his back issues.
