Re: Have we seen the last of Foster? : Mon Apr 30, 2012 8:12 am  
I said last year that i thought he was going to be the next setven tyrer and i stand by that now. As one fan has said take away his goal kicking and hes actually just a very average rugby player and you guys have looked a lot more solid with gardner in the team instead. If i was a saints fan i would be more excited about what young makinson is going to give the team over the next ten years

Why? When has Makinson ever done anything of note?

Foster is a decent young player. No world beater, but certainly a better player than he's being made out to be.

Strangely I think that makinson is talked about more because of the mistakes he doesn't make rather than any positive contribution. He certainly seems to try.

As for Foster he undoubtedly has some talent some of the tries he scored were very good. IF he can improve his mistakes I don't see why not.

To some degree he has been the vicitm of poor team performances coupled that with at times a lack of support from his centre leading to defencive errors. Then this has had a bad effect on his confidence.

I don't think we have seen the last of him but when he next gets his chance there can be no howlers as Swift is looking a good alternative.
Jamie is lacking in confidence and maybe a loan spell away could sort that out? playing in the U20 is no good or testing enough?

Loan spell would be best for Jamie, Under 20's is not going to develop him anymore, a club without mirrors in the changing room!! LOL

The emergence of Lomax as a reasonably reliable goal kicker has diminished his chances. I can't see him getting a start on merit, and must rely on injuries to get another chance. He will probably go down in the anals with Danny Arnold and that other goal kicking winger who played outside Mal, whose name completely escapes me.

There will always be a need for a goal kicker and we have one of the best in Rugby. He does need to put on weight and muscle but as long as he has that right foot and is under contract we are sitting on a potential little gem. Brown might not like him so much right not but i bet over the pre season he gets the "special treatment" and picks up size.

The way i look at it is, if Paul Sykes can get a game because he kicks goals so can Foster.

I'm sure Makinson scored the best try of the Grand Final last year and has never put a foot wrong since wearing a Saints shirt and I for one would see him in the side over foster any day of the week

Very, very unfair comparison. Foster has been leagues ahead of the likes of Tyrer at all stages of his career.

Foster is a more than decent player with a very bright future in SL if he can get his head back in the game, whether that be at Saints or elsewhere. He was a far, far better player in his first season in the team than Makinson has been (at the equivalent point in his career) over the last 12 months.

Oh, but I'm forgetting that Foster is the new designated knee-jerk scapegoat and Makinson is untaintable flavour of the month, so clearly that point is irrelevant isn't it?

Foster scored lots of tries (many more than Makinson) and also never put a foot wrong in his first year too... Makinson has the makings of a decent player but isn't there yet - same goes for Foster.
