Last season he was disappointing at times, started making mistakes and was generally anonymous a lot of the time.

All our young players went backwards during 2012 on their 2011 seasons and so that Makinson didn't look perfect was no real surprise. Under someone who can actually coach, which Brown actually can, I expect him to shine again. For me the only weakness he has shown so far in his first team career is a tendency to drift inside from his wing in defence but that might be as much to do with his centre as with anything in his own game.

Very pleased, one for the here and now but also for the future. I agree with what Beware said.

Delighted with this news. You can't read anything into the errors he made last year, he was a kid in his first full season. He's got a very exciting future ahead of him.

Get Gaskell sorted next Saints.

I'm a big Gaskell fan, but the ball is firmly in his court now. He has first shot at the number 6 shirt, Saints want a deal, in the end it's down to him to perform well and grab the best deal. At least now we can't be left in a Eastmond situation, Gaskell will have to deal knowing that with Lance and Wheeler he does not hold all the cards.

Gaskell is under contract for next season as well, so there's no rush.

I thought that too, but it turns out he only signed to the end of this year.

After a quick search - oh yeah. The 3 years included the end of 2011.
