Who would you play as our starting wingers next season? Justin Carney and ??? I'd love us to sign either Rhys Williams or Jamie Foster as it's great to have wingers who can finish of breaks a la Nick Youngquest and not get caught after 10 yards a la Kirk Dixon

Re: jamie foster : Fri Sep 21, 2012 8:33 am  

Would be happy if we signed Foster. A decent young winger that can improve his defence but knows the way to the line. And probably the best goal kicker in the league.

Andd Foster plus a loose forward and another second rower and keep Chase (which I think will happen) and we are looking better next season.

Re: jamie foster : Fri Sep 21, 2012 9:03 am  

Foster would be an improvement on Dixon in my opinion. To have a back line of;

Owen
Carney
Shenton
Webster
Foster

would be so much better then what we've had at all this season, with the likes of dixon, tansey thompson & clare ready to fill in, we'd also have a bit of depth in that area.

Sounds goodo me. Get him signed up Cas and stop messing about.

Re: jamie foster : Fri Sep 21, 2012 9:43 am  

Would be relatively happy with Foster. Although he needs to work on his defence.

I didn't reckon much to Williams when he first joined, he was a bit slow and made quite a few mistakes. However he improved massively and seems to have broken in to the Wire side, unless thats just because of injury. I would like to see him back at Cas but don't see it happening

Dont see Foster or Williams for a variety of reasons.

I dont know why Dixon gets such a bad press, but maybe thats personal to me.

He's a winger whose about as fast as a prop forward?

I thought Jamie Foster was staying at Hull FC ?

Dixon, despite the arrival of Shenny and Webster I still expect our wingers to be involved more crucially in defence than attack. Fair point about Youngquest but are there any available finishers of his type around and how many tries did he concede, particularly from kicks. I'm not sure Dicko has bombed/gifted many more tries than he has scored and while you might think that's not saying much take a look at our points difference. If we can find a reasonable back-up threequarter, fine but having spent a bit on one winger I wouldn't want to splash much cash on another when more integral positions could still do with strengthening.

Think it is an attention grabbing headline but think the reality would surprise you.
If you take out how impaired he was while playing in 2012.
