He needs to hang out with Wendell Sailor for a week or two.

What more do you want from a rookie winger

Yep, I’ve been giving it to him last few weeks.

A couple more consistent performances like that and he’ll shut me up for good and throw me in the corner of the room to do penance.

 

[Berries]

He legit is picked so he can run fast if he gets a little bit of space and he is not even fast. Feels like has been given the drop out duty to make him feel like he is contributing and he is pretty average at that too.

 

[El_Magic]

He's obviously got some defensive issues but I think in the 2 games with Montoya inside him, he's been heaps better. Alot of his issues came from Holland being a fucking idiot rushing in.

To be honest will become a superstar in a similar vain to a manU vatuvei.. like Jayden for almost two seasons manu couldn’t catch time and patients healed that and he became a beast to me Jayden has even more upside but just like many you will great games and then shocking ones

Vatuvei was playing 1st grade at 18, representing NZ at 19 and by 22 (same age as Okunbor now) was one of the best wingers in the game. Okunbor is big and has good straight line speed but Vatuvei at his best was everything that Okunbor is but without the glaring weaknesses and was way more powerful and aggressive

Is he fast? Honestly doesnt look like it on TV

I think he's got good straight line speed over longer distances, doesn't look like he has great agility or acceleration

 

[doggieaaron]

Hoping he plays like this every week he had a super game

LOL he definately doesnt have a step on him.

Here is to hoping he comes good

 

[rainman]

He could be the next Blake Ferguson

 

[Dogsup]

The reason why okunbur played well, was because the grass was like running on carpet. It helped him.

 

[Juicydog]

He could be the next Blake Ferguson

Cruisers for the boys

 

[GirthGorilla]

Hats off to deano for persisting, not easy when every opposition coach has him as their prime target

 

[maroondog72]

Hope he backs it up with another good performance this weekend,he has got a lot of potential he just needs to get himself to the next level.

I think he's real fast and thats why Pay is sticking with him, getting some games under his belt is starting to work.
I wanna see him start to fend and get around the defense.

[Chriso86]

Hopefully he comes along good, just needs to realise he's as big as Oates run hard and smash in, only his first season as a winger too,just pepper him with high balls and defencisive reads at training

NSW Team of the Week | Rd 10
2. Jayden Okunbor
Club: Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs; NSW Origin appearances: 0; 2019 TOTW selections: 2

Go Dogs

 

[BELMORE]

Why is he so retarded when the ball is past him? He literally does not look for the ball and runs towards where he thinks the ball is

 

[Noeasyday]

Wasn't he a backrower coming thru juniors?
There's no doubt he looks lost sometimes on the wing, and 1st grade is a pretty difficult place to learn your trade, but hopefully he'll get some consistency with more experience
