Foster was a pretty simply kettle of fish.
He could kick goals from all over, which is a great asset for the team. Whilst he didn't offer anything remarkable with the ball he was solid. Last year he showed on many occasions the abilty to be solid under kicks and he'd finish most trys in the corner if there was space.
So we got a 90% goal kicker who wouldn't let you down by fluffing chances or making mistakes.

Then he started making mistakes. Atrocious ones. Until he can rectify that, he won't warrant a place in front of someone like Mlei who may also make mistakes, but can offer a lot with ball in hand to compensate - At least not while we have other players that can kick goals.

What's Meli done wrong to justify that?

Complete inability to defend costing numerous games and big games like Grand Finals?????

What mistakes is he making at this current time? He can't be making many, we've won something like 9 of our last 11 league games with only two defeats to Wigan.

Let's be honest, Jamie foster has cost us about 6 points this year with his problems in defence and under the high ball.

We can't drop a player now because he lost us two grand finals 3yrs ago!

The same ones he has always made. That he isn't more of a disaster is often down to Wello covering his back on the tryline.

I take it you weren't at the 2011 Grand Final then? He cost us two tries in that one alone, and we were in a winning position at the time too.

I can't wait to see the back of him.

I'm not a Meli fan but he's certainly better than foster. They both make mistakes but Meli offers more with the ball.

I disagree. Or at least I disagree based upon the majority of Foster's performances and the majority of Meli's performances over the last 18 months.

It don't matter about 18 month ago, that's history now, it's about the here and now.
