Okunbor is ordinary and highly expendable, the other guy however is a gun so will be most interesting to see the penalties.
The Bulldogs are set to only sack one of the two players who had sex with young women on the NSW north coast last month.

The Bulldogs are set to only sack one of the two players who had sex with young women on the NSW north coast last month.
Both Corey Harawira-Naera and Jayden Okunbor’s futures hang in the balance, as the NRL and Bulldogs investigate allegations they brought two 17-year-olds back to a hotel.
The duo have already been provisionally stood down by the NRL and club, and will not train or play with the team until the investigation is complete after being handed a breach notice.
The Daily Telegraph is reporting Harawira-Naera, 24, could survive at the Dogs, but the club is set to sack Okunbor, 23, because screenshots of a conversation between him and a girl published in the Sydney Morning Herald show she was a student from a school he visited that day in Port Macquarie on a club visit.
They also show the Bulldogs winger asking her what she was doing that night, before she responded “you”.
One girl reportedly bragged about going to the hotel on Instagram. “Gets invited to go back to bulldogs hotel room, fine if I must,” she wrote, per the Daily Mail.
NRL boss Todd Greenberg has warned the league is ready to send a message in the form of a severe punishment if allegations from the Canterbury schoolgirl scandal are proven.
An angry Greenberg said the incident was “completely unacceptable” and would “not be tolerated”.
“Part of being a first grade player is being a role model,” Greenberg said on Wednesday night.
“Respect for women is a fundamental aspect of our training courses from rookies to elite players.
“That’s why we took immediate action in provisionally suspending both players allegedly involved in the matters under investigation.
“Rest assured, if these breaches are sustained the players will face significant sanctions which will both meet community expectation, and send a message to every single player in our game.”
