Jayden Okunbor

[silva]

With his size and weight Barrett obviously sees the potential. Good signing on minimal money could easily become a quality player if he really wants to.

 

[Weak Gutted Dog]

Big body.
Yardage carries.
Minimum contract=
Great depth signing

 

[Spoonman84]

Would have only kept one of Jayden or T Katoa in the top 30.

Far out man. Okunbour should be starting next year I believe. VERY hard to please some people here I believe

I agree. He is a gun. Sure, he made a few mistakes on Sunday, but given his injury layoff, and the injury sustained, he was no doubt a little anxious, while also trying to impress. He will improve with more games over the course of the end of season, and will certainly push for a starting spot opposite JAC.

Good stuff he's a keeper

 

[Dogmonster]

Ran the data through my predictive algorithm and think he'll look something like this in the blue and white next year

Looks like he has went from a part time choofer to a full time powder dealer.

I saw ‘Highly rated’ and i knew TK was about to go into meltdown but you guys seem pretty chill..

They say highly rated when they are talking about the club not the Kennel

 

[Longtimedog]

He’s a cat, to scared to put his body on the line.

Has the physical attributes but no aggression or technique in defence. Also possesses feet for hands. Hopefully he can improve in this area as he does have plenty of upside in attack.

 

[hackenbush]

Yes a good signing. Lots of upscope with Jayden. Can always fill in for a forward. A very good 14.
Yes he made some mistake, like how he tried to offload. ( our forwards have forgotten this.)

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Good to see from the club. We will get to see the best of him once 100% match fit and he will benefit and develop playing with likes of Burton and JAC.

Hopefully JAC spends some time with him, helps him understand and reach the levels of dedication it takes to really shine at this level. He is on record saying he wants to help younger players, well he'll have plenty to help when he lands at Belmore in November.

 

[Bulldogsforlife23]

Fix his running game he has a body like Inglis or Mitchell and his defense and holding the ball then he’s a excellent player

 

[H-dog]

Needs a hair cut, to stay on his wing and realise how big he is and run through some …….

 

[Grunthos]

Far out man. Okunbour should be starting next year I believe. VERY hard to please some people here I believe

Just another non-performing "expert"

 

[CrittaMagic69]

View attachment 26938 anyone know how this kid has been going?

Played a couple games of Flegg and NSW cup, looks a decent prospect. Really hurts that these guys don't get to play right now.

 

[Hacky McAxe]

In his defence, the only thing he did bad last game was pretty much everything. Except for the try.

 

[Vlasnik]

Yuk....what a waste of cap space.

 

[Berries]

Take out his shitty performances, the bloke is too injury prone

 

[Turvey Chip and Chase]

I’m on the side of keeping Okunbor at the moment on minimal wages.

I do see the other side and certainly wouldnt critique members who don’t want him, however I do see value for money as the potential reward outweighs the risk.

1) Im not going to judge on a return from injury game after being out for ages. In fact, this year is a wipe so i would continue to play him.

2) for low wages it doesn’t hurt us when we do need depth to fill the 30 anyway.

3) he has size and speed which can’t be taught.

4) he can be trained to read defense and to have better hands and make better decisions

5) potential wing or back row

6) is a Junior, and unlike that total ct with ears CHN he owned his discretion and wanted to repay the club.

for mine, I’d keep him for a while longer - for the right price

 

[Berries]

Signing an injury prone defensive liability who has yet to have one decent game. Good times.

 

[Turvey Chip and Chase]

I’ll post it here too-
