That was fabulous. When I watched that match back (well, on each of the about ten times I watched it back!), I always had to rewind and watch that bit again just because I can't remember the last time one of our wingers did anything remotely that good. I loved it and thought at the time what a find Makinson might turn out to be.
But then I still can't get over the skill and determination he showed to score that try and (as we thought at that moment anyway) turn the game around at the GF. I was glad to read John Kear in League Weekly this week acknowledge the skill Makinson displayed in scoring that try. Nobody else in the media took any notice of it but it was amazing and deserved a lot of attention even if it was for the losing side.
