Tommy Makinson : Sat Apr 20, 2013 8:17 pm  

I thought he had an oustanding match today, with only one error (bomb knock on). He made a couple of great breaks, followed up, took the ball back well, was excellent defensively, kicked some great kicks (and converted all tries) and looked really sharp all match. He always plays to the top of his game in pressure matches which to me is a sign of a real winner. Joint MoM with Sia for me today.

He was very good today. I've been critical of his attack in the past but today he was on top form.

Sia was my man of the match today (again), he's outstanding in such a poor pack. We'd be truly stuffed without him. I wonder how long it will be before the big clubs come looking for him because IMO he's to good for us.

Makinson is not as good as Lomax on attacking options, but he is improving in every single game in his deputive position.
Will this cause a problem though, when Lomax returns at full back, Makinson will be stuck on the Wing with less involvement in the game.

Makes you wonder why no one listened to me over the last four years when I was banging on about the fullback position.

Re: Tommy Makinson : Sat Apr 20, 2013 8:35 pm  

it should help him not hinder him, he should be more used to backing up when half breaks are being made.

Tommy is a good player and a good lad off the field. He's a good hard working lad but lomax is by the far the better player.

Well, Lomax has a crocked body and Makinson doesn't, and today, Makinson was a better player than Lomax. So stop putting the lad down.

What if Makinson improves to the point where he's looking extremely good in the fullback position?
