Looks like we might have some competition from Salford, who face a winding up order on monday!

"Head coach Phil Veivers is back from Australia and is understood to have held talks with Aussie star Scott Prince while Down Under.

Prince had been offered to Hull FC and this alerted Veivers, who is scouring the market"

Should we worry............... nahhhh!!"

Looks about right to me, if we get Prince Ellis, Westerman and Tickle will have a field day.

Whilst Foster did a solid job for us, goal kicking options aren't something we need to be overly concerned about for next season. Even less so if Prince signs.

Fair point. Heard Prince is a good goal kicker going by youtube.

Foster's not good enough for a top 8 team. It'd be like Arsenal signing Rory Delap because he can throw a ball accurately.

He did a good job while being with us so i don't agree with you there. I think he is a good player imo

OH MY GODD!!!!

In what way - other than kicking goals - did he "do a good job"? I watched every game he played and he wasn't good enough for a team with top 4 aspirations. Hence the reason Saints are parting ways.

Did you like him because of his hair, then?

I watched every game he played to. Maybe he not good enough for a top 4 team, but is crookes?? Im not gonna knock him as not seen him play much.

But apart from the widnes match, foster gave his all every match and would of been a good signing. But like i previously said, its my opinion.

I thought he did a good job by backing up, showing enthusiasm in kick chases and defended his wing reasonably well. Would have been pleased to keep him for next season. Good experience at a young age.

Hair comment is just daft.

foster doesn't get a game at saints for a reason

Mixed reviews on Saints board. Some think he's alright by too far down pecking order. But others think he's been hard done by.

Would you rather see him or lineham on the wing for Hull?

No contest lineham all day long

This:

Lineham to be our next big thing at the club IMO. However, I would have rather had Foster than Crookes I think. Based on what I've seen of both of them, granted only seen Crookes a couple of times. Foster would have demanded more money though.

I'd go for Lineham, but I think I would choose Foster over Crookes. I think that both are of a similar ability, but Foster can kick which edges him over Crookes.
Whichever we had, I would have Briscoe and Lineham as our first choice wingers at the moment.

Thank Christ Peter Gentle doesn't share that opinion. And Saints. And McNamara.

Lol, funny though because others have stated that they would choose foster over crookes but ya dont say out to them.
End of the day its my opinion, im all for crookes proving me wrong and hope he does.

As for gentles opinion, he brought him in on loan so he must of thought he'd do a good job for us

So a kid with less than 5 SL games is preferable to a player who has played in 2 grand finals. That's why we haven't signed him and he can't get a game at saints

Really like the look of Lineham and would love him and Crooks (Ben) to form a long term wing/centre partnership. Early days, but both definitely have potential.

True, however I'd rather have him as cover/competition than Crookes, based on the amount I've seen of them both.

Hope Lineham gets the 2 shirt this season, but can see Crookes getting it. Not knocking him, just not seen a lot of him to have proper judgement.

Would be a great, young partnership. Both full of confidence as well. Will be great competition for places between Lineham/Crookes and Arundel/Crooks.

Really don't rate Foster. Apart from his goal kicking he offers very very little. There was times last season I couldn't remember him touching the ball in attack!!

Let him go to the other sport, as it will suit him down to the ground only having to lick at goal all match.

We needed a goal-kicker at the time - The lad fitted in real well but he was a loanee and we already had other irons in the fire. Hope he gets a contract some-where. Not with us though.

I think the idea of taking Foster over Crookes as a back up to Lineham is a completely redundant one. Why would he swap not getting a game at Saints for not getting a game for us? If he leaves Saints, it's for first team rugby, which he's not good enough for at the top end of the table, so he's just not really what we need.
