The changes to the rules regarding the corner flag has made spectacular finishes in the corner a lot more common. It's funny because had the rules changed a couple of years earlier Saints would probably have won the 2009 GF. It's great to watch but it's not as difficult as some make it out to be. Damian Blanch scored better try than anything I've seen from Makinson a few years ago.

I wouldn't say Makinson has been piling on the timber like there was no tomorrow. |

In terms of skills
Makinson has a nice little kick that he puts in too. Won't be on his try scoring clips, but shows an awareness of how to progress the team forwards when he has run out of space.
Not just a hoof and hope a nice little deft touch with the inside of the boot.

Nonsense. If he didn't need to do it then he wouldn't. See his two tries on Good Friday for example. |

Did you conveniently forget he played for Bramley before joining Leeds then Wakey? |

I'd argue that he actually made that more difficult than it needed to be. By launching himself in the air he actually made himself more vulnerable to being pushed out of play and out of reach of scoring. He's produced some very skilful finishes, but I don't think that was one of them, at least not as far as the dive goes; the real skill was his slight of foot that gave him the outside. |

If he didn't jump in the air he wouldn't have scored. Your bias is boring. |

Bias? More like your paranoia pal. I've no problem praising Makinson* or any other player and do so whenever it's warranted, I just happen to disagree with you on that try.
* Quote The Yellow Giraffe="TheEGW"(Another) great Makinson try. He's making a habit of it. Great ingenuity and teamwork for that one. #TetleysChalCup'"

| Quote bewareshadows="bewareshadows"This is the thing. I agree he is behind those three. But sometimes fans will go down the line of anything less than being in the top 2 is a failure. So anyone hyped up who are not the first choice is deemed as being rediculous.'" This comes through in the many posts. Just because we praise someone, doesn't mean we're saying he's better than anyone/everyone else. England has plenty of good Wingers - Briscoe and Hall(and BJB), Makinson and Swift, McGilvery and Broughton, Lineham, Charnely and Burgess - the list goes on.
Just because one of them does good things, doesn't mean the rest are any less capable. |

I can remember that. Two men on him, all of his body in touch and still managed to get his arm wrapped around the post to score. I like Makinson, he's a great finisher, I just don't think he has as much about him as Hall, Briscoe, Lineham or Charnley. But he's young and can only get better. |

Good player, I just wish Eddie Hemmings wouldn't orgasm every time he got the ball though, makes for tedious 'commentary'

It's just the usual hype you get in all sports.
In a few months it will be someone else, it's also perceived hype. We've been on TV a lot recently. Once we are off the box, someone else will be deemed to be getting too much media exposure.
We are not on at all between July and August, so Sky can big someone else up
