Saints fan here.

He was a classy finisher and his goal kicking was bang on. There was the feeling amongst the Saints speccies though, myself included, that he was much to focused on his business/es and not on improving as a player. He started to make defensive mistakes and dropping a few high balls.

Maybe he's got his head screwed on now and wants a second chance to redeem his career, after all he was only a young lad at Saints. Anderson will find out with him soon enough, but he'll be cheap cover on the cap for you at worst, like Dawson for us.

this is a TRIAL and if he impresses then will get a deal and we cant complain about that

the other naughton is a LOAN

so the money we have to make a permanent signing is still there for the right player (a second rower)

After he left Bradford he went to Hull Rugby Union who play in the same division at Laund Hill YMCA.

Exactly Brearley and just for the record 54 tries in 90 odd appearances is not bad going.He may just surprise some folk.

yes hoping so, will look forward to seeing him action, got to give the lad a chance, obviously got talent and we might bring it back out of him

Just like to amend my previous post, Jamie Foster has scored 98 tries and kicked 405 goals in his pro career to date,lets hope he can add a few more for us.

looks like he will be playing on the wing for us, wonder if he will take the goal kicking duties of ellis

murphy full back, been such a good winger for us too

went ok on debut, would have liked to see him take the ball in abit more to take workload off the forwards

unlucky with the wigan try, looked to be a knock on from them jumping up

Did ok, good finish and a couple of big hits in defence too...if he's willing to work hard and put the effort in he could be a decent addition to the squad.

I thought he turned away at the last minute on that high ball, should have done better really but under pressure I suppose, took his try well, great tackle first half shooting out of line and would like to see him kick if he stays as its the best part of his game. I'm not sure Wigan know left from right as everything seemed to go to jerry and Leroy at times and not to the new guys, no brainer for me that. Id stick with murph at the back though solid hands and return, sometimes wasted on the wing, there's more to his game.

was ok, nothing special, did what was asked of him, took his try well enough, but defence was always the big question mark against him, thought he did ok there apart from the jump for their try.

let's not get too carried away though, the sign him up stuff last night was particularly cringey.

but like Daz says, if his attitude and fitness is right then a good squad player.

Positive in some of his reading of when to come in and tackle ( better decision making than Jerry on that svcore).

But he is still a liability under the high ball. A short term contract would be worth it to me.

thought like a lot on here when he signed for hull, tbf he did ok for us, lot worse about

A lot of positives to take from his performance. Wigan is a hard task and though they didn't test his side as much as I thought they would some cobwebs will certainly of been blown away.
Took his try well and after the Wood strip if he'd of got the offload away I reakon he'd of had the pace to make some good ground for us. Great positional play.

Will be tough for him to back it up but he gets an extra week to prepare as do all of our squad.

Murphy at fullback is exciting too. Grix may have to work harder to get his place back than we realised when he returns.

as i have posted previously about the youngsters not letting us down which was shown on friday night and watched foster i hope the powers that be dont offer him a contract he doesn't offer anything more than the players that the youngsters we already have (only goal kicking) but there again there's ellis.cudjo and conner so not short there so here's hoping no contract and money goes on a bigger signing if all goes well in aus

He had a solid game with zero training time

Let's judge him in a game or two he

NO dont need him our kids that played are good enough better as shown the guns will be comin back from injury dont think we are a charity spend on who is in the pipe line and hoping is better

but Foster has that experience which you can't coach, could be useful come play off time?

FWIW I think we all need to trust more in PA he got the tactics spot on for the Wigan game and if he feels that Foster is worth a go then so be it. Let's judge after the month trial as others have said he did little wrong apart from maybe a lack of conviction under the high bomb for their try. Given that he has had zero time in training it is far too early to judge. Wigan tactics poor as they did not look to expose our left edge others will so let's wait and see.
I thought he did OK overall on his debut having been thrown in at the deep end.

1 game and didnt let anyone down, see how we are with injuries going forward and he hes training the house down and playing deserves a deal

A lot of talk about youngsters who won't really be ready for week In week out super league rugby. How old is Foster... Around 25? Bags of experience and can play fullback if needed.

Gotta trust PA on this one.

training with the giants till he finds another club

no long term future with us.

He came in when we needed cover and did ok but didn't manage to show he'd be an improvement on what we have so I think that's the right decision.
