I just think that if I was letting my team down the way he has, I would concentrate on putting more effort on the training ground than on twitter pages...

Maybe I am mistaken but I just get the impression after a good season in 2011 he has got a bit too far ahead of himself and needs to be brought down a peg or two...and the fact that Rush & KC choose to give a debut to an academy half back on the wing in front of him suggests to me there is more than just poor performances as to why he isnt playing

Do you think that they are deliberately trying to force him out of the club?

Jamie Foster is injured, he probably would have played at some point last week/over easter if he was fit. Same with Lee Gaskell but don't let that put you all off a good conspiracy theory.

Saddened, he's no relation to me mate, no that I know of anyway

Yet he can still go playing golf 24/7 and go on nights out around St Helens town centre?

What is this 'injury' anyway?

Rugby is just a little bit tougher than golf.

I don't know exactly what the injury is but he is injured, I also don't know when he's due to be back.

Depends on the 'injury', not all about being a 'tougher' sport.

I just feel (from an outside perspective) that there seems to be something that we don't know going on, it just strikes as being odd.

True but many more injuries would allow you to play golf whilst keeping you out than wouldn't. (If that makes any sense at all.)

I think people are just reading too much into it, I think a combination of Rush and KC wanting to steady the ship with senior players and Foster being in bad form has resulted in him needing to regain his form in the u20's. It's probably the best place for him to be right now.

I don't know really: you need to use a lot of your body in your swing and if you had an injury then it would be quite painful.

I possibly am reading too much into it.

He isn't injured. He was in the 19 last week.

I doubt whether either of them has ever been injured. I rather think injury is simply the cover created by Saints to explain them being dropped.
