OKUNBOR

[diddly]

hopefully develops into a centre or backrower.

Hestarted as a centre, but coudnt or wouldnt defend, went to backrow - same problem - couldnt adjust to players running at him and having to make decsisions, then was moved to middle forward - was a defensive liability, arm grabbing etc so he was moved to the wing where he has been more suited - doesent have to make as many defensive decisions and can use his size in backfield.

 

[UmoGus]

Hes ahead of schoupp.

He's not a centre

 

[dogzofwar]

Has he cut his shit hair off yet.

Terrible aye

 

[Cujo]

Where does he fit in next season with JAC, Naden, Cotric and Schoupp?

2nd row playing wide?

 

[Dawain87]

Needs to develop a fend or sidestep cause he can get into the clear when left one on one in attack

 

[flamebouyant]

I actually think he could be that strike edge player we are missing . Played mainly in this role coming through the grades

This is true. Perhaps thats where his future lies, and with his ACL injury, perhaps he was able to bulk up his upper body. But i want to see him on the wing for now.

 

[BELMORE]

Terrible aye

Why are you concerned about his hair? Sounds like you want to finger his bum

I see a lot of people give this guy praise, I know he had that one game where Cameron Smith didn't want to tackle him twice for some reason, but the way he defends his wing is what I remember from him and that's not at all by the way!

What pisses me off the most is the blank look on his face after he would let in a try, like he didn't understand what happened....

 

[chisdog]

Wouldn't it be a good thing to have someone at the club who could teach him how to defend? You know? Like a defensive coach or something!

Where is our player development? He has had these problems all the way through, why hasn't it been dealt with?

Are you joking? That stunt he and CHN pulled on the eve of Round 1 is what put us behind the 8 ball from the get-go.

You mean that LEGAL STUNT they pulled wich resulted in them being reinstated and ALLOWED TO PLAY.
Talk about jumping the GUN.

Yeah if I was in charge I would’ve sacked Okunbor too.

Highly paid grown men just had to go out to Port Mac for a few days and at least pretend to promote the game and the club but all they could manage was to fire up the Tinder account and chase hood rat school girls.

Reputation damage, $2M lost in sponsorship, betrayal of your teammates and staff. Nothing but a legal stunt.

If he could defence then would be a very good prop in today's game. Not against re-signing him for a season and seeing how he bounces back from his ACL, not much risk involved and we have to fill the roster.

Like you said hood rat school girls but wait one was a school teacher lol

 

[Kenya]

Is he actually fast compared to a saab., coates etc?

No he is not.

 

[Woofwoof1980]

hopefully develops into a centre or backrower.

I was thinking the same. In the mould of Idris before he got fat and slow

 

[Gubanaculum]

Anyone that can run over cam smith 4 times in a game I'm keeping lol.

That was 2 years ago.
He has done fuck all since that game. How long do we keep him for?

Yea I could see where you got that idea just saying it’s a shit hair cut what are you his mother?

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Give him a run once he is back to see where he is at. As much as we will have JAC, Cotric, Naden, and DWZ as wingers or possible wingers, if Okunbor plays well enough he is at worst a decent injury backup, at best good enough to push someone back to reggies and therefore keep the pressure on those starting.

I dare say that you would find it difficult to turn on a dime if you were almost 2m tall!!!
