Biography

Olaf Prattl first came to notice as an 18-year-old winger from Wyong when he represented Country Seconds in 1968. Joining Balmain in 1969, he proved his versatility when he changed from centre/five-eighth to lock/second row forward. Injury ruled him out of Balmain's grand final win over Souths in 1969 and he later played with three Sydney clubs before ending his career in the I’warra competition. Prattl also played with Bramley in England in 1974-75.

    I played with Ollie in the first XIII Wyong High School Team and Wyong Under 19 district.
    A character who was as mischievous and as brilliant, team leader and must have in a team,
    I follow Balmain then and now because of this connection.
    I hope he is in good health,
