It's hard to do that on the wing though as you are constantly in danger of being tackled into touch. I'd love to see how he'd go at fullback, the one glimpse we've had of it was a very accomplished performance in the GF last year.
Don't get me wrong, I think makinson is very good player and has potential to be good player but I don't think he's ready for fullback.
I question if he's got the postional play to be in the postions wello does in attack and I'm don't think he offers much more with the ball at this moment.
Makinson isn't beating men on kick returns (something foster was crucified for) but this might come as he's a young lad still.
Another year on the wing won't do makinson any harm at all.
Lance hohaia has all the experince in the world at fullback, he's fast and I'm sure he'd clear his line better than wello and makinson.
