The following week, Olzard scored his first try in the top grade as Souths were defeated 58-16 by St. George at WIN Stadium.
Olzard's final game in the top grade came against Penrith in round 24 2002 at the Central Coast Stadium.
At the end of the season, Souths avoided the wooden spoon after Canterbury-Bankstown were found to be guilty of breaching the NRL's salary cap and were stripped of 37 competition points.
Olzard spent the entire 2003 NRL season in Souths reserve grade team and failed to make an appearance.
In 2004, Olzard joined St. George Illawarra and featured in the Rugby League World Sevens competition but suffered a serious injury before the 2004 NRL season began.
