I was sat right near where foster went thru, no way he would have scored on the outside but should have took the tackle rather than kick.

Foster showed a good brain in not attempting to outjump old Rat Pilchard but waiting till he landed. Had he clamped the ball......

Correct

Everytimr he touched the ball he seemed to throw it away as if didn't want it!!!

Ok well let's compare him to lomax who ran his blood to water in the game...foster looked like he couldn't b d....rugby league is about passiom and heart lomax has it foster does not simple!!!

.

Sorry, but you must have been watching a different game. He was very good.

Foster for me is too small to play rugby league. He is a plucky kid who has done superbly to overcome the potentially demoralising horror show at Salford earlier in the season. But he's like a toy to most Super League wingers, he would need to double in girth to play in the centres IMO.

It's not like he's blessed with pace either, he's no flyer.

I agree. I have no idea why there is criticism from our fans of Foster. He certainly wasn't scared to take on Richards in the air, contesting for the ball. The fact that Richards had the experience to jump in front of Foster meant that Foster didn't get the ball. But he damn well tried. He didn't let us down at all. Nor did Dixon or Lomax. The way Lomax saved the try was fantastic. Had only the whole team showed that dedication to defence we might have been in with a chance, halfbacks or not. Alas, our defence has been poor all season.

he is faster than ade and meli put together is jamie, and as for passing the ball i really dont no what game you was watching but i saw him make more and take more tackles than meli has all season!

Are you a novice to Rugby League, don't know what game you were watching and basing your comment on.

You watched a different game to me. Foster was by far a better player than lomax in that game. I don't recall him throwing the ball away once.

are you on a chemical or something ? He was one of the few Saints players who seemed to give a dam today along with robes and wello.

From a Wigan supporter! Foster was one of Saints better players last night, didnt do anything wrong! Showed great confidence for a young lad.....as for being too small......Sam Tomkins springs to mind! Foster has class, you can tell that when you watch him, he's confident, fast, can read the game, always in the right position! All players senior and young have nightmare games, last night for Foster was not one of them, and he can hold his head high! He's young, and a positive for Saints is, he only going to get better!!

Matt

what a joke. foster, roby and wellens only seem to be the ones who wanted it last night. what happened with cunningham thought he would have thrown everything into that.

Foster I'm sure will become a solid super league player theres no question about that but at 20 he is no real threat with ball in hand.

hes soft and doesnt go looking for the ball for e,g ade gardner goes looking for it and carrys the ball hard foster doesnt when he goes looking for it he goes to dummy half and just passes it hes happy just being on the pitch and not working hard for a winger his work rate is terrible hes bin on the pitch purley to kick goals. he does have potential but he need to toughen up he doesnt like carrying the ball for me

Which saints games have you been watching this season?

thought James Foster had a very good game.. Nothing fazed (is that how you spell it?!) him and will be an outstanding player for years to come (and no im not his mum)

just my veiw on him at the moment but i do also agree hes only 19 hes got bags of time to develope all the things i think he needs to work on and hes defo at the right club with the right people behind him.all the best to the lad i want him to prevale but at the moment i think hes abit soft n work shy

he will never be a winger as he doesn't possess the required pace even at his current age.

Coundnt agree more with lee the saint very true....yes he foster mite have skill but he just doesn't work hard enough 4 the team

Foster isn't scared nor did he throw the ball away.
He "threw" the ball to team mates in a couple of plays where Saints were trying to keep the ball alive in the attempt to get it wide and outflank Wigan.
Whilst no flyer he does have good deal of pace.
The one thing that hasn't been mentioned is his goalkicking.
Without him Saints are struggling if Lomax and Eastmond are out.
With it being Lomax's first game for a while I thought Foster was doing the kicking as he has for a number of weeks.
Foster suffered, like all Saints backs, from playing behind a pack that was outplayed.
This criticism of Foster is unfounded.

What a pile of steaming bollox! Jamie Foster has shown without any doubt whatsoever that he works his butt off for the team. He has cleaned up our messes for weeks now. He has put his body on the line in defence, including catching some highly pressurised bombs, and he has taken the ball up as fast and as far as he can. He has been consistently praised by pundits and fans equally for his positional sense, his goal kicking and his determination. To question Foster's commitment to the Saints cause is ridiculous to the extreme.

Foster IMO was brought in at first as we had no goal kickers fit but he then played himself into the team and has been very very good for us.

His reading of the game is his best ability from what ive seen so far and very safe under the high ball.

Saints fan!! who are you his grandad!! You'll b comparing him to greg inglis abs jarad hayne soon!!
