To be fair if I had his looks and his youth and his profile I'd be trying to get my end away, but not on twitter. The guy on the other end will no doubt be a blonde bombshell with big assets. Who will turn out to be a big hairy 49 year old , former prop forward looking for some excitment.

You really have fabricated this theory about him. I swear it is worse than Karl Pilkington. You don't know any of this stuff, are just adding what you want to believe and, in fact, the evidence points to the contrary.

No idea who Karl Pilkington is, and don't care. I have met Jamie Foster twice and he came across as a down to earth, nice bloke who happens to acknowledge he can kick a ball. I have no issues with someone acknowledging their talent.

I also saw his face on Friday when he let in the try (by coming in to help Wheeler). I also saw how the lads grouped around him after he dropped the ball and given the abuse reigning down on him from the Saints fans in the West Stand I'm not surprised they did.

My own experience leads me to believe that he is not big headed.

Have you read any of his tweets? or, as you're a female and he has a proven track record of doing it, has he asked you for 'personal' picture over twitter yet?

Yes, I have read his tweets. I follow him. They are a lot more controlled lately. Because I follow him I also know just how anxious he is to do his best for Saints. He said after HKR he was going to practice, practice, practice at his place kicking because HKR represented his worst ratio since he's been our kicker (although he was just back from a thigh injury and so probably hadn't managed to get in much practice). What happens on Friday? He kicked every one, including shots from the touchline. He has apologised for his two mistakes on Friday on Twitter subsequent to the match. He says he is working really hard to get better in defence. And he was working really hard in defence on Friday, bar the try and the dropped ball (which was the hardest type of kick to catch).

Only males of a certain age have a problem with him. Women have no problems with him, seeing him as a young bloke acting like a lot of young blokes do. And kids love him and want to be like him with his coloured boots and haircuts. He just comes across as a regular 21 year old bloke to me.

Foster can go and practice in the reserves

Not looking to spark an argument with you here but that was an easy kick to catch, I've played Full Back for a few years now at different levels, that was a sitter. He took his eye off the ball which is understandable because of the oncoming defence. As one of my coaches once said though, it's better to get smashed with the ball than drop it and get smashed anyway.

You have eyes in the back of your head do you? Interesting. You from Wigan?

I like you saintsfan and I can see your a real die hard saints fan and rugby league fan. We have good banter and I also enjoy our debates but you can't stick up for all things saints, sometimes you need to take your saints tinted specs off.

Not having a dig.

Ahh. So the guy who says it was a sitter isn't playing in super league. Them balls maybe easy in ameture/pub games.
