100% 💯 the so called supporters on here apart from being clueless are so fickle and even disloyal to our own players it’s sickening… makasini was 18 , and injured, in the NRL.. when he fires the same supporters will immediately start speculating that he will sign elsewhere, and if he was to read this forum and take it onboard I wouldn’t blame him.. also, he is fast enough, people are judging him on being run down by ponga and that was because he was already gassed and in the wet he almost conceded the tackle when he slowed down and started trying to fend behind him.. if you watch the first 50 maters he showed plenty of toe.. he hit a walll physically and psychologically

Do you see having to make these excuses for the great players tho. The great players find a way to succeed/win. He didn't.

I'd say the way that Makasini ran 100 metres and the way Steve Renouf ( for example ) ran 100 were polar opposites
Steve reached his top speed very quickly and I'm guessing Makasini doesn't hit his top speed until 40 to 60 metres
It makes you wonder how quick Ponga is over 100

I think you guys are misunderstanding fitness for pure speed . He has no endurance so when it comes to sprinting time he’s got nothing because his tank is empty . As he grows into his body he will increase his endurance.

This post is literally the definition of “tell me you don’t know what you’re talking about without telling me you don’t know what you’re talking about” .
