He also did a nice kick through which almost gave us a try. I'm glad he is developing that side of his game. Also, I liked the way he ignored Roby for the tap kick on one occasion. That left Leeds a bit non-plussed and showed some initiative. I think Foster is developing into a player who can think on his feet, which is encouraging.
Also, I disagree that he isn't a 'flying winger'. After his chase against the Crusaders I think he has enough pace for a winger. The only downside at present is that he doesn't make many yards when taking up the ball, but that I think is down to his relative size.

He's fast enough, I think we all look back with rose tinted specs, If you make a list of wingers that Saints have had in SL and take away Fosters kicking, he still comes fairly high in the ranking of how effective he is as a winger. Not going to bother right now, but I can name 3 former wingers off the top of myhead that he beats without thinking.
Sean Hoppie, Danny Arnold, Chris smith, Ian hardman ........
