Invite now for Olam

THE NRL has backflipped and invited Melbourne Storm sensation Justin Olam to next week’s Dally M Awards after initially snubbing the centre.

Olam wasn’t originally invited to Monday night’s second awards ceremony after apparently failing to make the shortlist for Dally M centre of the year. His Storm teammates, fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen and five-eighth Cameron Munster made the shortlist for their positions but not Olam, who has been a far more consistent player in 2021.

Munster took to social media to blast the NRL’S snubbing of Olam and the league later issued an invitation to the Storm centre.
