Harry Tyson Wilson at Hull will be England's half back in years to come. He's going to be brilliant!

Re: Tommy Makinson : Wed Apr 23, 2014 3:03 pm  

thinking about it Makinson finishing would be a massive asset against the aussies because its very rare does a winger break away for a long distance try.

Re: Tommy Makinson : Thu Apr 24, 2014 7:27 am  

His try against Widnes on Monday was a fabulous finish, top class.

Re: Tommy Makinson : Thu Apr 24, 2014 7:28 am  

Superb finisher, but how would he do with Inglis in full flight at him? but then how would anyone do against that man!

Re: Tommy Makinson : Thu Apr 24, 2014 9:05 am  

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.

Re: Tommy Makinson : Thu Apr 24, 2014 10:48 am  

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

Re: Tommy Makinson : Thu Apr 24, 2014 11:16 am  

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.
