erm why? would be my first question. I wouldn't have him instead of Josh or Budgie then we have Dom Manfredi and Jack Murphy as back up

If one of our wingers was leaving I'd go for Lineham from Hull FC in front of Makinson.
Hull have reduced Lineham from an excellent young player to being awful, same with Crooks. With Wigan's coaching either or both would become Internationals at our place.

Didn't Wigan sign a release or something from our service area so he could sign for Saints? Makinson isn't in the same class as Josh Charnley or Joe Burgess.

SL current top try scorer who helped beat us in the last game. He is no mug currently scoring some of the most exciting tries in rugby league. Can play full back as well as on the wing and can kick goals.
To me that's worth consideration.

I wouldn't take him over Manfredi if I'm honest. Burgess and Charnley are international class and if Budgie doesn't win Young player of the year i will show my arse in River Islands window.

Manfredi to me is a brilliant player also, so strong in attack its a pity he has such quality in front of him.
Manfredi is decent enough cover but Josh & Budgie have their places set in cement, it's a nice problem to have since losing Pat was my biggest worry

Budgie will find out today or tomorrow if his season is over.
So the cement could be breaking up!!

Do you think manfredi and makinson have very similar playing styles?

Take away the mooning bit and those are my thoughts exactly God. Makinson is quality, but our boys are better!
