Quote ="St pete"Makinson isn't as great in attack as people suggest. Has anyone seen him make a break or beat a man? His defence is very very good, he's pulled off some great tackles over the last two seasons. He's now become a liability on the high kicks, he's dropping kick after kick. His try scoring record is poor. I also don't think he's as fast as people think. He's only young as still has a lot to learn and that's why IMO I wouldn't play him fullback yet.'"
Been saying the same myself ever since he first came into the team, usually to howls of derision from those dazzled by his innate beauty (or whatever). He hardly ever frightens the horses with ball in hand despite his occasionally apparent pace. He looks to have the making of a good nuts and bolts player maybe that will do all the little things but little else sadly. And I'll say it again: Foster had a
far better first season (admittedly with much better service) than Makinson has had...
).
