Cheers for sharing. Im a massive fan of his. He made a dumb mistake, but if he can put that behind him and then get back on the field this year, hopefully his best days are ahead of him. He could develop into a real weapon for us if he hasnt lost too much, if any speed.

Gun potential

Could come in pretty handy in the back end of the season as we hopefully push toward a finals spot.

He looked really good before that injury..... I reckon he might have a really good year.

I wasn’t a fan early on and was dirty on him for Port Mac but unlike CHN he took it on the chin and let his footy do the talking which was showing at the back end of last year. With improved handling hopefully his size/strength creates some decent finishes, especially with better players inside him. Good luck JO.

Wish him all the best and hope he has a positive impact when he returns.

When is he back from injury?

When is he back from injury?

From what the video said, likely round 14.

Good stuff from Okka. Just manned up & took ownership of his actions & is putting the work in looking to repay the faith. His hands improved last year but once he can learn how to get down low at the try line & learns the art of finshing he will be absolutely lethal in attack.

I reckon that mop on his head hinders his ability.. he should cut it off if he wants to get serious about league..

I think he has a lot of potential, just needs some consistency..

It can sometimes take up to 12 months after returning to the field for someone to start playing their best footy after a ACL so I think this year could be a write off for Jayden. At least he should be able to hit the ground running in 22 if he’s still around.

Ditto i also hope he comes back strong and stays healthy, should go well in the 2nd half of this season i reckon.

 

[Scoooby]

Yea he definitely had potential as cliche as that sounds.. he could have a massive year if he puts his all into it and just focuses on his footy.!!!

 

[Howie B]

He made a massive difference in the limited games he played last year. Great yards out of our red zone and huge threat in the air.

Addo Carr left wing next year. Okonbur right wing

DWZ an expensive backup

 

[James zac]

He owes us hes got a long way yet to repay the faith

 

[Phalangist]

Could he play in the centres?

 

[silva]

Too bad hes injured I think he’s due to come good especially in a decent side. Could be a centre option

 

[bradyk]

I can't see Okunbor playing any position but winger. I also don't think he'll feature much next year unless we were to move DWZ on. I think ideally we re-sign him for at least 2 years if he's playing well when he returns from injury and if DWZ continues how he has been and Okunbor still looks the goods that wing spot is all his in 2023.

With all due respect, he runs like a powder puff for a guy his size.
