Opinion Okunbor

[Scoobs]

I think he needs to focus on playing edge back rower bull him up a little bit abit like averillo keep him at centre let him develop there and same with okonbur he can develop to a good back row

i think they see him exclusively as a back-rower now. that's why wilson was on the bench to cover that back / utility role.

 

[diddly]

He is learning and improving.

He came to us as a 2nd Rower but a succession of coaches tried to turn him into a winger.

He needs to unlearn how to be a winger and become a 2nd rower.

On the way but not there yet, improving every week and that is all we can ask for.

he started in sgball as a centre

 

[KiwiDog7]

Ciro starting to make fools of some us (me included) with some of his player transformation (Okonbor, Avo et al)

Hopefully can improve his pet project Hayze too

 

[Berries]

He's going quite well in the forwards and doesn't warrant any criticism this season.

Looks like he's found his permanent position as an interchange forward and I'm happy for him

Doesn’t warrant any criticism? His defence is probably top 10 worst in the comp and he barely bends the line barely gains any metres. It’s the most stop gap solution of all time. Back to NSW Cup to learn the position.

 

[D0GMATIC]

He wouldn't be much above minimum and is becoming a decent backup.

Definitely a better re-signing option than some of the others

Have a look at our side, we're totally busted everywhere and okunbor at least provides go forward through the middle. He's terrible on the wing but credit where it's due he's been one of our better players since being shifted.
Who are you going to bring up from reserves to replace him?

But but but he won us the game. Said kennel members.

He was recruited from NZ as a second rower.

So going back to my comment about successive coaches trying to turn him into a winger.......................................

Born and raise in Australia… he’s from the area

 

[Dogs Of War]

It will be interesting to see if he gets re-signed, we would likely get him on the cheap

That will happen maybe end of season. That said it depends on what Gus can find that is cheaper with more up side. He would need to improve even more to lock down a top 30 spot next year.

My Bad

He was.

 

[Roger the alien]

I think he should be our right edge backrower over Waddell. Has been running good lines is a good kick option like nanai and who would of thought a game breaker.

The words game breaker and Okunbor should never be put together.

Still recruited as a second rower though

Until yesterday...............................

He played well but he's certainly no game breaker.

Broke the game wide open with his try

He started in SGball asa centre

Recruited as a second rower

but whatever......................

 

[Roger the alien]

Broke the game wide open with his try

So if Flanagan scored a match winning try he would suddenly become a game breaking halfback?
If people think Okunbor is now some superstar backrower we're in trouble.
