He's a good player, in good form. But form is tempura class is permanent. Hall, briscoe and charnley have been doing it for years. And briscoe is only a year older than makinson and been a top player for years. Hall has scored more try's this year in less games. Briscoe and hall particulery are also very strong and dangerous coming away from there own line. Makinson is not.

You sure about that?

Makinson - 12 tries in 10 SL games and 2 tries in 1 CC game. Total - 14 tries in 11 games.

Hall - 10 tries in 9 SL games and 2 tries in 1 CC game. Total - 12 tries in 10 games.

Makinsons a good player, good to watch. Not in the top tier of wingers in this country in my opinion, but a good player none the less.

Plus Hall scored 3 against the mighty London, who we haven't played yet, and another hat-trick against the in-form Bradford Bulls . . . . .

That's not to say Makinson is better than Hall, just that I think Makinson's tries haven't been on a plate against the easy beats so far this season - he is playing very well indeed.

Needs to carry on current form to even have a sniff of international honours though, as pointed out there are players in front of him in Hall, Briscoe, Charnley and perhaps others too.

I'd agree Hall and Briscoe are currently in front of him but the Josh Charnley of 2014 is certainly not.

I wasn't sold on him in his first couple of seasons, but he seems to have really come on. That said, his finishing is really good, but the rest of his game isn't anywhere near the standard of guys like Hall or Briscoe yet. He is another to add a growing list of exciting wingers though.

People do get a little overexcited about him diving in at the corner though. It's smart finishing, because if you get your feet off the floor it makes it really hard for the defender to do anything. But the skill involved isn't as great as some would have you believe. Hell I've seen Liam Colbon score one this year.

The scrum half at Hull is Harry Tyson Wilson. I don't like to overhype youngsters before they've even broke into the first team, but he's a good as anyone I've seen at his age in this country.

Scoring one handed as he is going over the sideline?
Is that a big deal?
Dime a dozen Wingers try.

Skill? There's an element. But there's a much larger element of strength and balance. I just don't find it that skillful. I've scores tries like that myself, admittedly not against anything like the quality he is playing, but the principle is the same. Pick your spot, get your feet in the air and reach for the line. It requires much more in the way of of determination than skill. I'm not putting the kid down at all, I just object to people saying how amazing it is, they look a lot more than they really are. I could probably find an example of all the good Superleague wingers scoring try's like that.

Ryan Hall wannabe.

There are a dozen tries scored in the NRL every week similar or more athletic than that and they are acknowledged without getting worked up about. This is awareness, ability and skill. youtu.be/hoiaECEyhgc

I do think he is sitting in 3rd place for an England wing spot at the moment behind Hall and Briscoe. Young Burgess at Wigan will be pushing for a spot soon as Will Charnley and Lineham once they regain form and fitness.
