It might be Warrington. They're all whispering about a winger being signed. They were assuming he'd be an NRL superstar like Gasnier coming out of retirement or Uate. But maybe it's the Wire?

I think it would be a horrendous piece of management for him to be allowed to leave however.

Why are other fans bothered to come on here to tell us that such and such a player is no good?

I have no problems with Wigan or anyone else prefering what they have to Foster, but that does not really mean much other than club loyalty.

As far as foster goes, he gets the tries. If he got 1 try a year but was as fast as Dwaine Chambers, I would not opt for him over the current Foster who gets many tries regardless of supposed pace.

For thoes who have never seen him beat a man or run more than 30 yards, go watch the catalan game, if you want to see long range tries from Jamie.

It's only Wigan and Warrington. Their fans are so fundamentally scared that their own team's chances of success could be ruined by us that they have to do our players down.

Eh? I rate Foster.

Why the hell would the current SL champions, Challenge cup finalists with such a young talented squad be scared of you in the slightest?? Remind me the last time you beat us again........

Go back to page one.
You were the one who started the speculation about Foster going to Wigan or Warrington.

Well if you really arent bothered about us why waste your time coming on here to tell us how poor we are??

As for the last time we beat you, we have managed a draw against you and lost by 4 and 6 points this season to you so 3 out of the 4 games this season I would hardly say you ran away with them or we are miles behind you?? We may not have beaten you in the last 5 games but it was about time you did put together a decent run against us - after all wasnt it about 5 years before last season since you had managed it??

I think you will find if you read through most of my posts on here, I never say you are a "poor side", I think with a full strength side your capable of beating anyone. But wouldn't say im "scared", I think we have a young talented squad and the best coach in SL. If Wane gets the job and carries on what he has learned under Madge I can see success at Wigan for the next 10 years.

I would agree with the young quality side point and I think its a nice change to see a Wigan side using their young talent wisely rather than selling it all in favour of over the hill 2nd rate players which seemed to happen there not too long ago.

Whilst I dont like the style of rugby Maguire coaches personally, there is no doubt he is a good coach and has been very effective. I think whoever takes over though will struggle to maintain success for 10 years...mainly due to the fact SL really is getting closer and you will still have to deal with losing Richards, Carmont, Coley, Finch, Deacon, O'Loughlin, Lima, Hock and obviously Hoffman in that time which will be a tough transition - not saying it cant be done as, even though we have lacked silverware we have remained a top 3 side and lost a lot of our major players which is a great effort imo

For me personally, I think our young talents are equally as good as Wigan's and can see us being right up there with them again (hopefully starting next season now they have got a fair bit of 1st team experience under their belts) but at least over the next 2-3 years and think we will be in the same boat and we will both have the foundations in place for a solid team for a number of years to come
