If he fixes his defense Okunbor has potential to become something special and nothing if he doesn't.

Fair enough if you don't like the guy, but don't make up b.s to push your own agenda..
That's the kennel way haha.

Keep him on the wing. He was actually really good backend of last year. We could do with his carries bringing the ball out our own 20 that’s for sure

In the 20s Ockunbor, after not learning to tackle in the outside backs, he was played in the front row and bacck row - he made yardagebut still wouldnt tackle with his shoulders n body - arms and fingers were about it. So they moved him to the wing
In a NSW cup game against Newtown I remember B.Brailey directly targeted him by running out of dummy half and throwing a simple unders line towards him... Newtown scored off it twice due to Okuburs lazyness from marker playing backrow and we lost the game

Not the craziest of ideas...

Only thing is that I think Jayden lacks the prop mentality/aggression, but that could be instilled with the right coaching
The only super aggressive forwards we have are Elliot, Thompson and RFM & disappointingly, only one of those guys are a prop.
I noticed RFM has been running far less aggressively as he did in 2020, but that may be due to his ongoing foot issues.

I think he'll be good to have on the wing. Last year against Souths, our best game of the season, was also his best game. If you want him to be effective, put him on the flanks.

Because he has dicks for fingers.

Imagine trying to make 40 tackles a game with dicks for fingers.

He’ll walk into our side on the wing when he’s ready.

I think this bloke needs to go, he can’t read the defence and is the biggest cat when it come to tackling,
He will never put his body on the line.
I don’t rate him at all should’ve never let him back at the club.
