Is that the same 'trust' that Simmons put in him by playing him game-in, game-out despite him making an ever-increasing number of howlers game-in, game-out for the best part of a year? Foster wasn't dropped because he was scapegoated. He was dropped because he was consistently costing us 10-14 points a game every week - Simmons might still be in the job now otherwise, so how well was his 'trust' in Foster repaid? He was given more than enough opportunity to put it right and didn't and ultimately the coach had no option but to drop him. We would likely not be 3rd in the league if Rush had persevered with Foster and his persistent screw-ups the way Simmons did.
