Well, if he doesn't want to play for Saints he can go and play for Salford instead. That's where we tend to send people who are not up to the grade!

Shouldn't you be on Celebrity BB right now>

Foster is up to the grade. He's as good as any winger in SL (None of them are particularly amazing).

If he is unhappy he should get a new deal. A young player who comes in, scores tries, kicks goals and who is solid defensively should be rewarded. Players who spend 3/4 of the season injured should not.

Give him Ade Gardner's current money on top of his own, solution found.

Made for Rugby union.

For the truth of what is going on go to my post at the bottom of page 4 of this thread.

Yup. So solve it by giving him Ade Gardner's contract. Makinson and Foster should be the two wingers moving forward unless Mako is moving to fullback.

No, the price of Henleys t shirts in St Helens town centre has gone up.

Maybe



I think it just depends on just how much saints value.

If he left it would send shockwaves






Through his hair

I'll get my coat

Of course he should get a new deal and he will be getting a new deal but whether the level of the new deal is the same as he thinks it should be is another matter, isn't it?

But he tweeted last week about rumours and how he can't believe them. My guess is this is just a nonsense rumour.

We'll find out soon enough no doubt. I don't even know whether he is up for contract renewal this season? I can't remember. But since two young players have just been announced then I would imagine if he is up for renewal, it won't be too long before we know about the outcome.

He's just tweeted that today he and some others have been posing for the new shirt promo over in Bradford (where ISC rented a studio apparently - it seems we have nothing of use in St Helens!). His comments were very positive although he said he wasn't allowed to tweet a pic.

Foster ain't demanding the earth but wants to be on the same level as Gaskell and lomax. IMO the is nothing wrong with that.

I was told today just how much he wants and how much Lee Gaskell new deal is worth.

New shirt as in next seasons? Lovely...

I can see him currently on a par with Gaskell but a level or two below lomax who definitely has something more to offer than any of the other young players. If foster believes he is as valuable as lomax then he may have a problem. Particularly as lomax is a reasonable goal kicker too. Would be sad to see foster leave, but it's hardly the end of the world

Especially given we lost Eastmond, Lomax should easily be the priority out of those three. However, even though I think Gaskell will end up a better player, Foster is doing more for the squad right now.

All absoulute miles ahead of Foster, ridiculous post.

s, he said Charnley

Foster is an interesting dilemma for the club, if anyone is seriously sniffing around with good money, then whose to say what will happen. He is our best kicker, but Lomax can also kick pretty decent and with practice will get better. So is that as big a plus for foster as we think it is.

Foster is under contract till 2012, so there is adequate time for the board to get someone else, and there are wingers like Makinson, Brotherton in our own squad that could be brought in.

I'm not suggesting Foster should go or that he has not earned his place, but is his barganing hand as strong as say Lomax or Gaskell, we have offloaded alot of our younger halfbacks, ellis, eastmond and smith. With Pryce unknown, Gaskell and Lomax struck whilst the iron was hot.

Wingers tend to be add on's that are nice if you have a good one but you can survive with average. We have won SL with players who never really would be classed in the same quality as darren albert.

Arnold, Dwayne West, Hayes, smith etc.

With a salary cap you have to put your money in key positions and Wing well, it's not as key as 6/7/9/ and then 1/8/10/ 13 would be next for me, with 3&4 then 11/12, 2 and 3 just don't command the wages they used to pre salary cap , where a fast winger was a glamours role and could demand big bucks. Now it's a bonus.

Il put this to you, Charnleys try last night, beat 2 men, went nearly 70 metres to score, could Foster have scored that??? Iv never seen the bloke beat a man yet.

Charnley can kick goals too you know!

Do you think he should of included Kevin Penny or Chris Riley in his list?

No, don't confuse me supporting Wire for bigging up players in a silly one eyed way.

Penny had one good aspect in he was lighting quick, too much of a liability though, Riley is like Charnley, a squad player.

Foster would do well at Wigan or Warrington (not saying he's signing saints don't jump down my throat) both those teams being more expansive than Saints.

Plus Fosters big asset which i'm sure Saints fans will concur is his balance, running down the line you wonder how he doesn't end up in touch, twinkle toes Foster.

Come off it please, Riley is like Goulding or D.Hodgson, can finish, doesn't drop balls under pressure, fairly quick

Charnley is already in our starting 13 week in week out, i expect the same for the next decade at least.

I sed too, when he left your super star fullback sat on his arris in the 1/4 final.

Riley scored an absolute peach of a try v Bradford, still doesn't make him a world beater, that was sloppy defending rather than class wing play.

Raynor was decent last night, not seen him play for a while.
