He's 28 years old next year.... that's too old to be trying to crack the NRL from ESL.
and this..
Saints coach Justin Holbrook tried to shut down speculation surrounding Makinson, who is contracted to the Super League club until 2021. “I haven’t seen the stories but no one has come knocking on my door from the NRL concerning Tommy,” Holbrook told The St Helens Reporter. “I know he has been on holiday Down Under but I am expecting him to return to training next week like the rest of our England players.”
Brown also moved to quash the rumours, saying that while he did meet the winger for dinner, it wasn’t about the Knights making a move.
“My family and Tommy’s family have a good relationship from my time back in England,” Brown told newcastleknights.com.au. “We caught up for a catch-up and Tommy has expressed an interest in coming to the NRL and living in Australia.“He has a number of clubs he’s looking at and he asked me for advice. That’s pretty much what it was.”
Makinson raised eyebrows when he became just the fifth English winner of the Golden Boot as best player on the international stage.
