Okunbor dropped please

[Jean-Claude Juncker]

Even at his worst, Okunbor can make 100 + metres a game.
Chricton and Montoya come NO WHERE close.
Stats to prove:

Okunbor
Round 3: 214m
Round 4: 290m
Round 5: 132m
Round 6: 120m
Round 7: 143m

* Also has ability to bend line back and generate post contact metres

Chricton
Career Average: 106m
Round 1: 140m
Round 2: 140m

Montoya
Career Average: 98m
Round 1: 73m
Round 2: 100m

Okunbor also has 7 linebreaks, 10 tackle breaks and 6 offloads and 2 tries. Not bad. He will get better every round and his silly errors will be eliminated soon enough.

All good but how many tries will he concede or be responsible for causing?

So drop him and bring in who?

Mitch Brown.

No more than his likely replacement

 

[Mr Invisible]

Montoya, Crichton, Katoa, Harper ... all really solid in NSW Cup today.

Theyre great stats but yeah nah there's something about his sloppiness that negates all his good work. dropping the ball at crucial times such as when there's momentum or when we finally get a 7 tackle set...not even attempting to challenge an opponent when 6 or 7 kick towards him on the 5th..

Maybe it's a lack of confidence or a case of over confidence.. Not sure but as it stands he fits nicely in that "potential" box and won't be dropped because he does have flashes of brilliance even though he has been a liability

I'd like to see what Katoa can do. Very strong runner, safe under high ball, incredibly fast in open space.

AND he's Sharks Katoa's brother, so strike wingers runs in the family.
