Olsen Filipaina New Zealand Rugby League tribute | NRL

[@Tokoa144]

Rip Olsen. I still remember when you and the Kiwi rugby league team inspired the nation at Carlaw Park back in the 80's..

[@NewcastleMachinerySales]

A great mate of mine growing up in Sydney, he will be greatly missed, what a fantastic family and friend 👍

[@brettgeraghty]

Can not believe he is gone. I remember watching on TV when he made Wally look like a reserve grader. You are a legend and trailblazer brother. Both on and off the field.

Beast mode-What a player

[@jackohere1878]

[@daveo2882]

Had it all over Wally in the ‘85 tests. Apart from Brett Kenny in some SOO games,not many others can say that. RIP Ollie.

[@stevepetherick789]

@@willienikora6444 wally Lewis had just played the greatest individual display in origin history in 84 what a performance olsen put on, he made me love league what a trailblazer for his culture too.

[@magwils8299]

Ollie with the two-step kick. RIP giant!

[@furball8967]

The Big O! Can I say just how much he made lives for Kiwis in Australia bearable. He was the man who smashed and walked over King Wally. I'm certain that Wally didn't like it, but would pay tribute to Olsen today as a player worth the reputation of 'great'. There are no players that could out think and out muscle Wally Lewis but for that period in the mid 1980's some one did. Go Olsen go!! That bump that swerve that unusual Olsen run when in open spaces...gonna miss you Big O! Forever in our hearts 💕 💞 ♥!

[@joeomalley1969]

mr bumper.thank you.

[@tamataua4370]

R.I.P matua Olsen The reason why a lot of us Maori and Island boys put on a pair of boots when he was in the peak of his powers,he made the best player on the globe look pretty average.

[@warmonger8799]

🪦RIP legend 🙏

[@skeptacleone]

olsen THE GOAT RIP BIG O.

[@bbgamezbidois8011]

What an amazing player

[@Gw-sd4ln]

NZ we are aware and crikey .with you

[@fletmok3548]

Jonah Lomu’s idol!

[@georgetanga6757]

Being a fellow Mangere boy he was also my idol! He showed me that just because you're from the "hood" doesn't mean you can't go after your dreams. Mine was to travel the world and am still going after 26 years. Mangere should have a sports hall of fame and he'd be at the top!

[@georgetanga6757]

Will make it back 1 day

[@terencemason3245]

O for Olsen

[@shaykarzhemara2243]

One of the tuffest Eva

[@jimihendrixx11]

Lomu got his bump and running style from Big O

[@JimmySmith-gw8xt]

Hairy knees, feared
