To be honest okunbor didn’t do enough to deserve to walk back into the side post injury.
Dont think he will be as good as smith. Just too raw for nrl. Could potentially be a late bloomer, but does struggle with his hands and his defence.
I still think cogger should feel hard done by. Most dangerous player this year and is benched all game and was going to play hooker. Like here is a kid with all the attributes of a genuine halfback. Has the vision and dartiness to be able to run and crack the line or set up players with half breaks. Is a combo of shifty and pollamounta in him.
Can’t criticise Lewis because defensively he was on point against Souths. But if we are picking halves based on defence why not play Jackson or Elliot at 6? Or is pay happy with the 1-2 kicks Lewis nails a game?
To be fair to cogger he does have the best boot in the club. Might not be a huge boot but he can control the game with it (kicking to the corners or getting repeat sets).
