"I'm just looking to play as well as I can for the 20s this season and if anything happens from there, it’s a bonus," said the Queensland and Australian AIS-junior representative.
“I’m just keen to use the experience I’ve got from training with the A grade side to help the 20s. I’m looking up to blokes like Justin Poore – he’s come to the club with a great attitude (and) you want to be able to emulate players like Nathan Cayless and Nathan Hindmarsh,” O'Hanlon was quoted as saying in The Daily Mercury.
1Eyed Eel believes O'Hanlon is the most promising junior forward to come through the club since Feleti Mateo. At 195cm and 100kg and still growing, the towering second rower has the size to make a massive impact in the NRL - and he has the skills to match. Judged to be the Eel's SG Ball Player of the Year, he stepped up to join the older boys in NYC and made an immediate impression before injury curtailed his season.
“I spent the second half of the season off the field which was very frustrating. I’m not one for sitting on the sideline,” O'Hanlon said.

Reminds me of Hindy a lot. Hope he can step up.
