He had a great game. I've mentioned this a few times on here, he is a better winger than Makinson is. Whilst not as fast, he gets involved a lot more. Look at his inside run for the game settling try, Makinson wouldn't have made that run and would have stayed outside and the move would have been shut down.
His kicking was perfect and I'm sure he'll go down very well there.
I really, really, really can't see why we couldn't have 1-Makinson 2-Foster 5-Meli. I really, really don't.
6 months ago I think you might have had a point, but makinson has grown into his role well of late. He's quicker, he's better at bringing the ball out of our half and he's a better finisher imo.
Given we seem to have other decent goal kickers knocking about, I'd prefer to see
1. Makinson 2. Gardner (if we can ever get him fit again) 5. Meli
1. Swift 2. Makinson 5. Meli
1. Swift 2. Makinson 3.Meli 5. Gardner
Whilst I like Jamie and don't buy into some comments about him caring more about his hair than his game, I don't think he's got enough in his locker for a team that wants to be regulary challenging at the top of the table. He does have enough to have a very respecable SL career, though.
