Yup. So solve it by giving him Ade Gardner's contract. Makinson and Foster should be the two wingers moving forward unless Mako is moving to fullback.

If he is unhappy he should get a new deal.

Of course he should get a new deal and he will be getting a new deal but whether the level of the new deal is the same as he thinks it should be is another matter, isn't it?

But he tweeted last week about rumours and how he can't believe them. My guess is this is just a nonsense rumour.

We'll find out soon enough no doubt. I don't even know whether he is up for contract renewal this season? I can't remember. But since two young players have just been announced then I would imagine if he is up for renewal, it won't be too long before we know about the outcome.

He's just tweeted that today he and some others have been posing for the new shirt promo over in Bradford (where ISC rented a studio apparently - it seems we have nothing of use in St Helens!). His comments were very positive although he said he wasn't allowed to tweet a pic.

Foster ain't demanding the earth but wants to be on the same level as Gaskell and lomax. IMO the is nothing wrong with that.

I was told today just how much he wants and how much Lee Gaskell new deal is worth.

New shirt as in next seasons? Lovely...

The is a difference in the comparisons you've made above to be honest. Goal kicking and playing are two completely different things.

It is possible to beca great goal kicker yet a average player.

I can see him currently on a par with Gaskell but a level or two below lomax who definitely has something more to offer than any of the other young players. If foster believes he is as valuable as lomax then he may have a problem. Particularly as lomax is a reasonable goal kicker too. Would be sad to see foster leave, but it's hardly the end of the world

Especially given we lost Eastmond, Lomax should easily be the priority out of those three. However, even though I think Gaskell will end up a better player, Foster is doing more for the squad right now.
