TOMMY Makinson's hat-trick and all round effort in defence in England's second test victory over New Zealand at Anfield has not gone unnoticed.
The Saints wing has made it on to the revised shortlist for the 2018 Golden Boot. The award recognises the most outstanding performances in both men’s and women’s international matches and covers all fully sanctioned international games played from the final of RLWC2017 to the England v New Zealand game played today.
The list was whittled down from a long list of 10, by the panel drawn from rugby league media in both the northern and southern hemisperes.
The men's list also includes: Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (New Zealand), Elliott Whitehead, (England), James Tedesco (Australia).
The first ever Women’s Golden Boot will go to one of five nominees:
Ali Brigginshaw (Australia), Brittany Breayley (Australia), Georgia Roche (England), Honey Hireme (New Zealand), Isabelle Kelly (Australia).
The winner will be announced at the Hall of Fame & RLIF Golden Boot Dinner which will be held at Elland Road, Leeds on Wednesday, 7 November.
