Are the Bulls desperate??? : Fri Nov 09, 2012 9:12 pm  

The Bulls must be desperate for a goalkicker to sign Foster. They have offered him a 1 year contract and stated he has things to prove. His goalkicking talent is well documented so there is nothing to prove there; so have the Bulls knowingly signed a player that leaves much to be desired in all aspects other than his boot?. If so why?.

Jamie is an average winger, he has some talent and with a good centre (like he had with Meli) he will score lots. But his goal kicking can and will win matches, we yet again last year lost some games due to our poor kicking. A wise investment by the bulls IMO

He will end up in the national leagues within 2 years. Maybe I'd he wasn't concerned with taki g countless photos of himself next to random cars or vein the next cast member of Geordie shore he might have made it in super league

I grow tired of people bagging him for anything but Rugby. If he can secure his financial future then good for him, if we are so small minded and against people who can earn their own income, then we show how parochial we are.

He has a hairdressing business, he wears flash boots for a sponsor, he takes care of his looks and gets his face out there, what a terrible person he must be earning his own living and paying his own way in the world.

Whatever you think of him, he pulled his tripe out playing for us and I hope he does well at Bradford and beyond. I really don't understand why he polarises opinion so much, he's just a run of the mill player.

Paying his own way - still living at home with his grandad and nan


Seriously, I agree, nothing wrong with putting yourself out there providing your rugby doesn't suffer.

Surprised Union didn't come knocking, stick him on the wing in union and he wouldn't do anything anyway, his kicking would be a major asset.

On the flip side his mistakes have cost games so rough with the smooth i suppose

And to who ever posted about getting his face out there when he first broke through he was the next best thing didn't do much wrong UNTILL it started going to his head and you could see his career unfolding before your eyes depends what he cares more about

What an utterly ridiculous comment. His goalkicking won us loads of games and yet he had what, one bad game and that's it? His mistakes cost us games? Hell, if one bad game gets you dropped and binned that is the whole of our team gone. Stupid, stupid comment. Shows what airheads fans can be.

I hope he does so well at Bradford that McManus is squirming again, just as he did over Gilmour at a recent fans forum.

We're not desperate for a goal kicker, we have Gale and Sammut that can kick goals. Foster is the best goal kicker in the league though, IMO.

He will score tries for us as well, especially outside a class centre like Lulia.
