Best young goal kicker I've seen since Andy Farrell.

Surely we could fit this Foster kid in somewhere just for his kicking?

Maybe he'll get a chance if there's a few injuries numbers 2-5...

I think alot of people picked up on his weak defence when they saw him play at home to Wakefield last pre-season.

Last I heard was that Foster wasn't getting gametime in SL because he needed to bulk up, I'm sure he mentioned it in an interview somewhere too. Hopefully he will have done that in the offseason and we'll see a lot more of him.

Maccies breakfast, chippy for lunch and KFC for tea. He'd be ready in a month.

Correct. He mentioned he'd set himself a target weight to reach in pre-season. Think it was about 14/14.5 stone.

If it's Foster in the Steve Precott calender he seems a bit bigger!

Think it's the conditioners in there, not Foster

Wasn't that what people said about Tyrer?

He couldn't kick either though. But seriously, would we lose anything through sticking him on Gidley's wing?

I would imagine that subject ot injury and poor form Jamie will get a few games this year.

It all depends on how he progresses.

He has the height and centres footballing brain, a decent amount of pace (not blistering though) and also brilliant kicking peg.
What was lacking last year though was a lack of physical size. I suspect that was partly down to him not having matured physically enough to be put on a heavy weight/bulking up regime, without risking his long term fitness, due to his body being prematurely over developed.

There is much to look forward to this coming season at Saints, especially surrounding the further development of our young guns.

Goal kicking's not a problem. We've got Wello

i must be getting on a bit, i agree with you! he's not slow, and he cant possibly be worse value than ade currently. I think it was around 3/4 matches lost by poor goal kicking last year, am i about right with that?

=#FF0000Yes, you are right about that.

I'm =#FF0000AT LEAST half your age

You mean you're not as experienced.

well that too

How old IS Rogues? 80 ish?

And yeah I remember Foster playing in a pre season game against Widnes last year at home and he played at fullback - he looked ok until he got smashed by that blond dwarf they had playing at prop

well i'm (just) less than half the pension age so i know i'm right with that!

Not an official pensioner for another three and a half years yet, although I do qualify for that nice bus pass and winter fuel allowance.

It's geat isn't it? Cheap season ticket as well.

Biggest bonus of all, for Wigan that is, I wouldn't have a free one for Saints, well maybe I would as it would save me £10 for the Wigan game, or I could sell it.

Works both ways Rogues. Wigan would get less from me.

You mean bring him on as sub just for the each kick at goal just like American Football?
