Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "In the old days speed was enough to make a great winger. If Kevin Penny was around in the 1980’s he’d be talked about as a great today.
That’s not taking away from Offiah or Robinson, but Makinson is the complete player that they weren’t, neither of those could make the yardage, catch the kicks, finish in the corner or defend like Makinson does, such as the tackle on England’s try line against the charging 17st back rower Kevin Proctor.'"
Yes agree mate; people tend to focus only on the glory moments of players going forward. Offiah was terrible in D. One of the greatest ever weapons in attack but certainly not the complete player.
Hall has certainly been one of our best wingers, although again not great in D sometimes. I can't think of that many others really: Scott Donald and Marcus Bai come to mind, but then we're into Rivett, Pratt, Bentley, Fallon, Cummins, Briscoe territory who were all a step below IMO.
