Well, that could be partly due to the rest of the team.
No way could Gardner score some of the tries that Makinson has scored though; he just isn't quick or athletic enough. The only thing Gardner has over Makinson is his suicidal tendency to bash himself into bodies when taking up the ball. That's hardly a reason to drop Makinson though.
The one thing Gardner has over Makinson is agression, something that we have in alarmingly short supply this season.
You are correct Gardner would probably not score tries in the same skilful manner, its just a difference in technique. Gardner would most likely crash his way over from close range, the end result would be the same, don,t underestimate Gardner he provides momentum like an extra forward and knowing him from Barrow has a really tough competitive attitude, a cumbrian trait I presume.
