Tommy Makinson : Sun Oct 12, 2014 1:33 pm  

Thought the lad deserved a thread of his own. Asked to play an unfamiliar role and came up with an outstanding defensive effort along with the try that closed out the match.

A real two fingers to McBanana for leaving him out the four nations.

For McNamara to pick Charnley and Hall over Tommy is controversial. To pick Burgess over him as well is laughable. Tommy will enjoy a nice relaxing off season and will benefit for it next season.

Brilliant yesterday, as he has been all season. Take a bow.

How Makinson hasn't been picked is anyone's guess, far better than Charnley and Burgess.

He must have pushed robes for Harry Sunderland. A couple of try saving tackles and a try.

My thoughts exactly, I had him as my MOM followed closely by Thompson, Soliola and Roby.

At the game I thought Roby walked it with Thompson our 2nd best but when watched back I thought robes was still man of the match (I'm biased to robes) with Tommy running him close.

Sia, Manu, Thompson, Richards and Turner also put in good games.

Well should be in the England team, but from a Saints perspective, i'm very glad he's not.

What a game from him. My MOM definitely. But he wasn't alone.

That perfectly timed, crucial tackle in the corner on Liam Farrell just after we went 8-6 up really did save us 4-6 points. Maybe even a match winning tackle in the end.

That performance gives the new coach plenty to think about. IMO on that evidence he's a better fullback than Lomax is.
