Info about Oloapu's background.... Seems like he's a Kiwi with Samoan heritage..
"There is less information about Oloapu in Wellington apart from him being a Randwick junior. Kini and Oloapu both appear in lovely Aotearoa primary school yarns...
Oloapu seems to have dabbled in Gold Coast Titans junior footy before appearing with Redcliffe Dolphins last year, then Norths Devils this year. Oloapu has been at Wavell State High School and this is another notable school in Queensland for Kiwi-NRL juniors, along with Marsden State High School and the Gold Coast schools (PBC/Keebra Park).
Playing in the halves and lock, Oloapu recently popped up in the news as Redcliffe are trying to snare him away from Broncos. Given that Redcliffe used to be a feeder club for Broncos, this is a bit niggly and Oloapu's shift from Redcliffe to Norths probably signalled his Broncos status.
Despite Oloapu appearing to move to Queensland and then being scouted by Broncos, the trend of Broncos embracing Kiwi-NRL talent continues."
