I'm more surprised that Hull have performed so well of late, with Gentle making it quite clear he thinks he needs 6-7 new players next year and letting players go mid-season even though they are short on numbers. If he was a permier league manager then it would be fair play as he could just go out and buy whoever, but in RL, with the limit cap wise and transfer wise it seams a bit short shrift with players that he needs to finish this season with.

Based on your performance yesterday, the whole team should be thrown in the car!

Although I agree with what you have said.

Apart from about three games Turner has been average all this season, this goes along with the previous two years of being average, his defence is awful and his attack is only good against weaker teams.

Foster has been an awful signing, I have never seen a weaker winger, he makes hardly any yards at all, apart from his kicking he offers nothing at all, I'd be surprised to see him playing SL in a couple of years, with his kicking I would go to RU if I was him, or he will be playing Championship rugby very soon.

I think quite a few people on here would support that view. He is a good finisher but he needs someone to create the chances for him ..

I quiet like him and you cant argue with his effort and enthusiasm, but he just isn't big, elusive or quick enough to play top level SL.

We have a young winger Lineham who is 4 games of professional rugby has shown more than Foster has.

Can't disagree with the Foster comments really , it's a shame really but I can see him in the championship or Union in the not too distant

You're spouting the same stuff as some fans on here have, which is fundamentally to do with his physique, something he has little control over. Your whole team was a shambles yesterday so it is ridiculous to single him out. He saved your team's bacon in your recent derby match, another game which was on TV.

Oh, and he's pretty quick as you may recall from the drop out he forced in your derby game. The rest of your team just stood around while he was legging it across the pitch.

Fickle fans really do spoil RL.

Not yesterday he didn't. He was just as bad as the rest of them.

I really hope Dave K doesn't think you in any way represent Saints fans who know anything about Rugby at all. It's not his fault he's too slight , fair enough but that doesn't mean we should just accept it and play him anyways.

Grow up.

It is stupid to criticise a player for his size, and that is precisely what Dave K was doing, and what others on here have done - probably you included, you say such daft things sometimes.

So what? Dave K said he isn't big enough. He didn't say it's his fault that he isn't big enough. And let's face it, he's right. Foster just doesn't have the explosive athleticism that's required to be a top threequarter. What's worse is that he now seems to be painfully aware of this; he is desperate to get rid of the ball every time it comes into his hands, even when he has space to run into.

I'm not one of those who thinks that because Foster is a good looking lad and owns a hairdressers he doesn't concentrate enough on his rugby. To me he's always come across as dedicated and eager to improve, but the sad truth is he just doesn't have the raw materials.
