Hall
Charnley
Makinson

Do we really think Makinson is international class? Saints bias aside.

No doubting he's been good for us this season, but he lacks the presence and size that Burgess at wigan has, for example.

I don't think he's international class. He's a brilliant finisher and could possibly be the best finisher in super league but other than that he's pretty ordinary.

Hall is a given, charnley and makinson would be my next picks.

After hall we don't have any wingers of international class. Burgess is not the answer he costs as many points as he scores in the big games, one for the future yes but it's way too soon for him now. Makinson and charnley are at present much better options than burgess.

Hall, Charnley and Burgess for me.

While size is obviously a bonus, Makinson isn't tiny or skinny. And it's obvious by his one on one tackle on Carney in the play off game that he can stand up to lads bigger than him if he has to.

I'd like to see him have a go because until we see players on the international stage we don't know whether they have got it at that level.

Is Burgess bigger than Makinson? He doesn't look it on the TV anyway.

Burgess is pretty tall from what I've seen and he has a good frame and is still only young so will develop.

As I said Makinson has had a good season for us and I wouldn't swap him at saints.

Size has nothing to do with it. It's about ability that I have Made my choice.

Can Tommy finish as good as Hall, Charnley and Briscoe ? Yes he's certainly a better finisher than Briscoe and up there with Hall and Charnley for short range but different story on long distance.

Can he return the ball as good as Briscoe, Charnley and Hall? I don't think he can. I believe he's way behind them on kick returns.

Does Tommy have a impact on the game like Briscoe, Charnley and Hall? I don't beleive he does.

Is he safe under the ball as the Leeds two and Charnley ? Im not so sure he is lately but in past he's been as good but last 3/4 weeks been little dodgy.

I'm not bagging Tommy one little bit but I'm being honest.
