I'd love to see Tommy Makinson have a go in NRL. Outstanding player.

The games he has played he has been one of the top metre makers in each not something any winger can achieve. He has not been dropped he is injured. If he is fit i expect him to go well in the big games coming up because he is simply a big game player and hasn't gone over there as a chancer or project he is an established international. Lets see.

Agreed, he’s possibly England’s best winger ever. A very strong carrier with the ball and meter maker, excellent in defence, great at catching high balls and an unbelievable finisher.

Not even close. Offiah, Robinson and Hall modern day are all way ahead of him. He has to continue doing what he is doing and proving it on the international stage for another 4 years to get in that bracket.

Makinson proved himself on the international stage when he picked up the golden boot. Did any of those win a golden boot award?

Offiah, Robinson, Hall and Makinson were all great wingers. Offiah and Robinson were both capable of some magic and scoring a try from nothing, but Hall and Makinson are more complete players.

Makinson won the golden boot in a year where the Aussies missed playing and the award was given pretty much on the performances in the Kiwi test series. On that basis he certainly deserved it. When he has produced in several series or WC's against Kiwis AND the Aussies we can have this discussion but he still has a fair way to go to match the other three in greatness for me.

Makinson is quality, and will inspire the next generation of wingers. But right now he isn't in the class of Offiah and Robinson. They could get the ball anywhere on the pitch and create a chance from nothing. It takes more than 1 good international tournament to be considered in the same bracket as them

I don't think you can really talk about offiah and makinson in the same breath. The game for wingers was very different when offiah was playing. Makinson is much more the complete player but offiah didn't need to be.

They are certainly very different wingers. I think it’s fair to say Makinson wouldn’t have scored a lot of the try’s Offiah scored, but at the same time Offiah wouldn’t score a lot of the try’s Makinson does. His finishing in the corner is certainly the best in the World in either code, he should really be marketed as Magic Makinson.

Those corner tries are what he will be known for in years to come

Flat track bully.

One trick pony.

Once wingers stop trying to tackle him and attack the ball instead - it's all over red rover.

Nah he's not a patch on Ryan Atkins

At least i was joking.

It is though. Wingers need to start going for the ball rather than the man in those corner situations.

He’s scored 133 trys, yet no coach has come up with this tactic yet.

Sts work to get him the ball in those situations. Its not just about stopping the winger.

He’s also the top meter maker in Super League

Brilliant

He’s the leagues top metre maker. I imagine he is top for wingers in busts and breaks.

His defence is brilliant. He’s impeccable under the high bomb. He’s a remarkable finisher.

Not bad for a one trick pony.

If his only trick is to be better than every other winger in the competition then he is a one trick pony.

Fantastic player.

Good player but not in offiahs league nor robinsons imo.
If the rules re the corner flag were the same then then the old days wingers would have done the same?

Really? I don’t remember the old days wingers doing anything remotely similar despite the fact half the time players don’t take out the corner flag anyway.

He’s just as good as Offiah or Robinson in my opinion. I don’t quite know what he’d (or any other player) have to do to be as good them if he’s not.

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.

Kevin Penny wouldn't have been a great in any era.

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.
