From a Saints viewpoint with Percival and Hopoate missing most of the season he is the signing of the season for us. Has played through injured made Makinson one of the top try scorers and has only had one awful game.
Most important his temperament with LMS has created a very happy camp of togetherness….sometimes players have influence off the pitch as well as on it.
