How good was he yesterday having to go up against one of the best partnerships in carmont and richards i thought he did amazing hes a 19 year old kid at the end of the day and he wasnt letting anybody bully him amd richards is a big lad , i thought it was good for his confidence when he put carmont in touch, carmont thought he could have him off and i think makinson gave him abit of stick when he dragged him in touch well done lad and nice break too hes quick

I thought he was brilliant yesterday especially being thrown in against Carmont and Richards. One for the future.

Utterly fab in defense yesterday. I would love to see him have a gallop though, he never seems to get a good run with the ball.

When he took that ball from Lomax in the centre, I thought he was going to gas Tomkins, but as he gave the shimmy, it gave the cover chance to pull him down.

Is this our centre when Meli leaves?

he was outstanding yesterday.

I loved the way he put Carmont over the line.

Carmont gave him the eyes as if to say "Cya kid, im gone", went for the hand off, only for Tommy to take him out.

Great defence from the kid.

I loved Carmont's reaction to it more. And then Mako's reaction back. "Have that old man, you're the new Vaeliki old boy!"

lol

I would love to know what he said to him. Hopefully something along the lines of 'you must be mad thinking you can beat me on the outside, old man'. Young players need to have balls and Makinson showed that he has plenty.

Quite a shock to see Saints produce a 3/4 with pace, what is going on?

He must be a biscuit then, there are 2 categories for eligibility at Saints

Plodder or Biscuit

The Snail rolled back the years yesterday ! Seeing Ratboy flailing after him was a great sight.

Wellens had a cracking game yesterday, turned it off at the whiste who got Sky's MoM?

Gaskell, personally I would have given it to Lomax or Graham.

He looked like a seasoned pro, great confidence to give Carmont the outside then drag the old buggar into touch.

I agree, them two was awesome.

Did you say that with a New York accent?

No I wrote it.

He's made a couple of errors during the year but he looks like a really good prospect and had a strong game yesterday. Physically he's well developed and because he's quick he's able to return the ball strongly, certainly better than Jamie Foster who gets alot of plaudits. He's definitely one for the future, whether that be on the wing or in another of the three quarter positions, but he's one of the better kids we've got coming through. An excellent debut season so far and will only get better.

IMO he's a better player than Jamie. Jamie has let few things creep into his game over last month or so.

He's grabbing to much in defence, using hands and no shoulders. He's also become little suspect under the high kick.

I just feel he needs to up a few gears before he gets caught out.

Jamie's lost his way a bit but he's also a young guy in his first full season and has had to deal with a lot of attention and a number of high pressure games. I think some fans can forget how inexperienced Jamie is really because he is such a gifted kicker and therefore so vital to us (although based on the Quins performance, Makinson looks to be promising in that respect too). He's full of enthusiasm, works hard and hopefully he'll work more on his defence in the future.

I wasn't having a dig at Jamie, just feel he needs to switch on again now as it's the business part of the year and we've been burned before by dodgy wing play.

The is no doubt he can tackle and he's shown he's safe under the kick but IMO needs to get back to what he was few month back.

I think keeping gardner will keep both in check. Next seasn we may use more than one kicker therefore kicking alone will not be enough. If they lose track then Gardner is there ready to take the spot off them.

At least we've cover for the wing spots, Shame about centre cover

Meli Shenton Wheeler Soliola flannery

Most of our centre from academy never made the grade.

But lets not forget makinson and foster are centres by trade. Just doing well on the wing.
