I agree, although he was unlucky not to score. I thought Manu was Hull's best player last night.

His hull form seemed to slip against the Pies, he looked tense at times and his defence IMO, showed why Saints have lost favour with him.

Don't think you'll find many Hull fans who don't think manu has been our best, most consistent player for the last 5 years. Gutted he is leaving and leaves a massive hole in our team

foster is shat though and a poor winger in comparison to the rookie we have on the other wing

I would really like Foster to succeed, preferably at Saints, but modern wingers need to be either fast or big or preferably both.

Maybe he could bulk up in the gym during winter,

I didn't watch the match - I'm too engrossed in the Olympics to think about RL at the moment - but I did hear that Hull lost Yeaman to injury at some point. Wasn't Yeaman Foster's centre? That might have had a bearing on his performance. No idea, like, as I didn't watch but it's just a suggestion.

Back to the Olympics for me. I may even be tempted to stay away on Monday night, depending on the Olympics schedule.

Really?

I too have watched pretty much all the olympics I can, but it doesn't come close to my love for Saints.

Didn't take long for you to find out then Jake

Bully for you.

I'm loving the Olympics. And if something good is lined up for tomorrow night then I'll be watching it! Saints will still be around when the Olympics finish. The Olympics won't come around for another four years and never again at home in my lifetime.

I only watched up to Charnley's first try, but goodness knows what Jamie was up to there. That could have just been a slip of the mind or lack of concentration, but given Charnley scored two more after that, I assume it didn;t get much better for him.

I don't know how anyone could even entertain going to watch Saints v Warrington when Hong Kong v Korea in table tennis is on?

Anyone who would even [icontemplate[/i watching any of that tedious, cynical, manipulative, filthy money-making piracy in London instead of Saints v. Warrington has no place either on this board or at LP. Ultimate troll status is confirmed.

Well, at least you have one up on me, being the race leader in childish, brain-dead posts.

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/19147229? Sounds like Foster has started to realise the error of his pretty boy lifestyle. Good to hear that the only club he wants to play for in Super League is Saints, shows top commitment, but doesn't rule out a Union switch...

I'm at work, so can't listen to the audio, but there's no mention in the text of a union move.

He needs to get away from the wing, i reckon. He's not got the extreme speed or strength that a winger needs, but he has skills with the ball that just don't get used when your on the end of the last pass.
Get his confidence back under kicks and then see if he he can get a gig at an NL club at full back, perhaps?

My apologies, that was me reading between the lines, putting two and two together...

He pretty well rules out a move to another Super League club (which is quite brave considering he can't get a game at Saints) but that would still leave a move to Union as a possiblity. I would suggest that he is more suited to Union given that he can kick, and as a Union winger would do very little else.

He needs to put some weight on, that would mean losing a bit of the beautiful jawline but thats his only chance of becoming a decent centre ala Goulding at Wigan. He isn't quick enough to justify being so small and he is simply going to get bullied until he does.

I hope he gets his head down and makes a career for himself, he has some good attributes.

He certainly does. I for one always felt like he showed a good attitude (depsite people saying he was more bothered about his hair) with a good appetite for work and a lot of energy, especially in defence.

His body doesn't seem to want to pile on the pounds, esle he'd be bigger by now. He's not short and has a decent frame, so he'll probably get bigger as he gets older and end up a decent size, but that won't solve his problem now.

He needs to get into a position where he can use his skills and guile to add to his game. I think full back's the only position he's going to be able to do that without his size compromising him. If he moves to centre, he's going to have to defend against 2nd rows, which is not somthing I'd fancy seeing.

I feel sorry for Jamie. He is going through the same thing pretty much all young players go through. Sad that some Saints fans need to concentrate on destroying him as a person rather than back him.

Are you lot on here who are continually suggesting him bulking up not Purple Aki in disguise. There seems to be a lot of male jealousy on here clouding the views of whether he has or has not got what is required. Many of those who think he hasn't got what it takes seem to couple their criticism with either his looks or his lifestyle. Would we prefer it if he were out on the lash every night gambling and indulging in all other of lifes vices? Give the lad a bleeding chance.
