Goons doing a Dire ... : Wed Jun 15, 2011 10:57 am  
viewtopic.php?f=28&t=497545

A typical made up rumour (by who though) lol. starts off with wanting him , then deciding he probably wouldnt go , then suddenly he isnt good enough anyways.

Couldnt be bothered reading all the pages but according to the thread (and I wouldnt be shocked to find Rogues at the heart of this one) Foster was a Goon fan , funny thing though they claim he was a Botica fan but I would have thought he was a little too young to remember Botica actually playing.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

As usual not guilty.

My comments have been that we don't need him as we have two better wingers in Richards and Charnley.

Really? I am shocked. Claiming every young player with any promise at all is a 'lifelong' Wigan fan is your speciality.

Here's one I know you can answer , what was Botica's last season at Wigan?

Only the ones that I know are.
Botica I think finished at Wigan in 1995 but played for Cas and Aukland Warriors after that.

I think he came back to the UK to play for cas in SL I but broke his arm or leg, which saw him retire?

To be fair why would you need to go down the route of signing a young promising English player brough through the youth system of either Wigan or Saints when you have a proven production line of your own!

Only for kicking ability, give them both a couple more years and see who develops into a better centre.

I'm sure there was a debate here a couple of years back regarding Eastmond having much more potential than Tompkins!

See you on friday!!!

Who?

A few years back Shaun Ainscough was apparently better than all our young backs. How's he doing for you at the moment?
