Okunbor seems a really quiet individual, which when he is over here on his own as he's single, it must be hard to get used to being a different country. I don't know if it is worth putting him back on the wing - his career long position, to get him some confidence?

What?
Play a winger on the wing how can you suggest that?

Be interesting to see how many make the trip.

Imagine this game a few seasons ago, Saturday afternoon in the cup, they'd be 2K+, be lucky if there's even half that. Really sad.

What question did Okunbor play growing up, until his first grade NRL debut.

Blokes played 67 appearances as a winger and 40 as a second rower. Just cherry pick stats to suit your narrative.

He’s moved over and not adapted immediately as is the case with many overseas signings. eg. Carlos, Field, Lolohea, Mago.

Is there though? Or do you just want there to be? The bulldogs fans weren't exactly gutted he left, and nicknamed him knockonbur

Thankfully we don't have to worry about him knocking on.... mainly because he never wants the ball.

Can't afford to pay another one off and he won't get a better offer in the NRL I would guess.

Anyone remember Steve Craven
The fanzine created a new verb from his name
To ‘Craven’ the ball was to knock on
