Makinson - Any good? : Wed Mar 21, 2012 11:31 am
I posted this on the Leeds team thread, but I think it deserves more discussion.'TMak' certainly has a lot of credit with the fans, seems to be a 'superstar'. But I must say bar the odd moment he's been completely anonymous since he broke into the first team squad. IMO he doesn't contribute nearly enough to be in the first team on the wing.
Does he have this reputation purely because he doesn't make the same glaring errors our other (Pathetic) wingers and centre make? The stats certainly back that up...
Foster:
Career Super League games 41
Career Super League tries 29
Career Super League tries per game 0.71
Career Super League clean breaks per game 0.73
Career Super League metres per appearance 64.98
Career Super League metres per carry 7.79
Career Super League errors per appearance 0.92
Makinson:
Career Super League games 22
Career Super League tries 7
Career Super League tries per game 0.32
Career Super League clean breaks per game 0.18
Career Super League metres per appearance 55.09
Career Super League metres per carry 6.69
Career Super League errors per appearance 0.77
The only stat where Makinson is in Foster's league is errors.
