Genuinely, Im concerned about these two matching up, Okunbor even tho hes huge got out jumped by Mulitalo with ease vs Sharks, Feldt is one of the best at attacking the high ball in the Nrl, surely the Cowboys will be looking to bomb Okunbor to death. This isnt even considering the fact Okunbor has the worst hands in the Nrl anyway and would probably drop it regardless. Cowboys have a real weakness to target though, would love if we had an actual solid winger starting.
I don’t think he will be in the 17.

I hope you're right. Who replaces him? Allan hasn't played at all the last few weeks so he'll be underdone... Unless they move Naden to the wing and Burns to the centres.
Alamoti can he play on the wing?

He's better suited to centre and would get exposed on the wing. Either way they won't play him til later in the season once he's had more runs against men in Reserves. We don't want to ruin his development by playing him before he's ready..

There's one thing he's 1st grade at
Or maybe that's 10th or 11th grade. Or was she in year 12 ? Can't remembering
maybe we should send Gus on a reconnaissance mission up the coast to find her and bring her to every game. If we stick her on the sideline maybe the **** will stay on his wing for once

Okunbor, Schoupp, Averillo at 7 and JMK are "coach killers". If Barrett can't see their flaws and keeps selecting them he deserves to be sacked ASAP. It's not like he doesn't have other options available. BBO deserves a decent shot at 7. Cook deserves a shot at 9. We all know what JMK can do and can't do (mainly can't do). How many times does JMK and Averillo have to prove to Barrett why they are major contributors to us having one of the worst spines in the comp and us being one of the worst teams in the comp. Try something different you f..kwit Trent

Braiden Burns? Would be happy with Cadence on the wing or pushing Naden onto that wing, take a huge gamble on Alomati at centre? I don't know but we just cannot under any circumstances play Okunbor on the wing.

What exactly is this "something different" you would like Barret to try? Cook wasn't available, neither was Allan or Alomoti, all of the alternate 7's were given a run in the trails and didn't impress, Wakeham was given a run at hooker, that didn't go well, BBO needs time in NSW Cup to further develop.

WTF is he supposed to do, pull a farkin rabbit out of the hat?

Who squawked about about letting go of Cotric ?
Until Okunbor gets focused and aggressive they will target him, he can't be used round 1.

Even including Flegg games BBO,s better games have been at 9 in FG, off the bench. As with so many players his age limited game time due to COVID has made the usual transition from age footy to open and fg footy very difficult.

BBO needs time in NSW Cup, has tonnes of potential, how his development progresses will determine how far he goes. Same for Alamoti, needs to develop in NSW Cup this season.
