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

| Mcintosh isn't a winger. So get Martin back in and give us some speed on both wings.
I don't want to see Mcintosh on the wing again. Give him a run at centre, because Carlos is finished and Scott isn't taking his chance.
There's really not much else we can do at the moment in terms of change, with the likes of Walker, Truman, Fash and Ashworth out.
We'll just have to hope they respond to the humiliation of last week.

| Tindall was hopeless in causing the first try and then letting the winger go around him by being too far inside of the winger !
Basic wing defence 101 and he totally fooked up there
Wow

| I just watched the Mini of the game on Sky - 20 mins
The players are not playing for the Coach or it seems anyone
Okinbur defence in that opening 20 was a utter total fooking disgrace and if he doesn’t want to be here then he can just
fook off to fookery
Pele is simply unfit and no one seems to care - bit like Mahe second time around eating 2 Macdonalds a day after training
It’s a complete Shoite show and I’d say Uncle Tony has lost the dressing room and the new signings have almost rebelled and are anti FC currently
This could be really messy at Giants and I don’t want to think about Good Friday

| Quote: Hasbag "Pele and Brown have the exact same details of charge yet one gets grade C and 1 watch ban, other gets grade B and just a fine.
There's been far later hits this year than Pele's that have only been given as a penalty.
4 players charged this week and 2 are Hull's. 100% our discipline has been poor but how is it so much worse than what other players are doing that we have multiple players charged every single week?'"
Also Pele has previous ie he hasn’t cleaned up his act so punishment worse

I think all the forces are against him:playing in a foreign country, with a poor team with fans criticising him, shy individual etc etc etc. I feel too there is a decent player in there just maybe needs an arm around him? Think Pele will come good too and Brown when he plays hooker and Balmforth when he plays LF!
I’m going to Huddersfield - happily couldn’t go v Leigh. I just go to view a match nowadays not to experience a victory
