IF we don't get Latrell Mitchell for the 2020 season can we jam Jayden Okunbor into centre?

Okunbor needs specialist training on the wing, absolutely smash him with the highball, defensive drills and finishing all preseason. He's the type of player that can appear to play like shit all game yet manage to rack up 200m+ with a stack of tackle breaks and multiple line breaks and tries lol.
Agree mate, if he can get that all sunk in he could be very destructive.

I'd start Averillo at centre and push Smith back to the wing over Okunbor.
Sure but you said what Pay would do...
I was just being grateful that he may not pick Montoya or Holland....but I think Pay has a real thing for Marcello.

So we keep Lewis for his defense but put Okunbur at center despite his defense

I wouldn't worry about Okunbor in the Centres. If Okunbor is in the side it's more likely IN MY OPINION that Reimis will be in the Centres.

Yeah I know his defence is terrible but he can run fucking hard and make line breaks, I still think of him running over the top of Smith twice in one game? Any change Okunbor is in Pay's plans for the starting 13 round 1 at centre?
He can do that from wing. He’s more valuable on the wing with his kick returns

Sort of relevant:

I wouldn't have Holland in the Centres. I'd prefer Okunbor on the Wing, Reimis in the Centres. Also Smith over Stimson on the bench which I know is controversial. It isn't really a big deal either way. Wakeham in while Foran's recovering (or medically retired). I really don't see Elliott not being in the starting side so I know a lot of people are going to be unhappy come Round 1.

you do know you can sign players off contract for 2021 now right??
Or were you thinking we wait til November next year and see what’s still unsigned?
Almost no one :tearsofjoy: . Look who's off contract now for 2020... one good squad player in Tetevano.

Yeah, but there was a season or 2 with the dogs where he looked capable of anything.. Waste of talent I reckon, on his part.
He played 1 test for Australia from memory. Had the best fend
