James foster 24 - Bradford - Wing / Fullback - currently reviewing his options with Worcester Warriors RFU

Jamie Foster would be a good signing for us. Prolific goal kicker and a fine try scoring ratio at every club he's played for. Certainly worth a place on the wing for me despite his defensive lapses. Kind of player though that wins you close games with his trusty boot!!

Re: Terry Campese : Mon Nov 24, 2014 12:39 pm  

I can't see Foster getting in ahead of the likes of Johnson, BJB, Evalds, Griffin, Caton-Brown plus i reckon Dobson will be our goal kicker with Griffin in reserve.

Martyn Sadler in the League Express understands we are targeting a player in Aussie who has played in Super League before

Dobson is OK but he's not as good as Foster at kicking goals. Top goal kickers are priceless. You have to look at the bigger picture sometimes and ask would Johnson offer more or less to the team overall?

I don't think Foster is what Harris requires from his wingers. You can see from the training photos so far that he wants his wingers fast AND bulked-up. Both Josh Griffin, Johnson and MCB have put on serious meat even at this stage of pre-season. Foster is the type of player that Harris likes to see his wingers run over, regardless of his pristine boot and hair.

Step backwards imo.

Re: Terry Campese : Mon Nov 24, 2014 1:05 pm  

TBH I don't want foster in our team. I don't rate him at all. I mean it shows that Bradford got Danny Williams from us to replace him at Bradford. On social media Kirmond been mentioned with a move to Salford

Re: Terry Campese : Mon Nov 24, 2014 1:15 pm  

It surely has to be a back as we really don't need any more forwards. I'd rather we looked through the lower leagues and found a big raw boned centre and had him working along side Gleeson learning his trade.

Re: Terry Campese : Mon Nov 24, 2014 1:19 pm  

Chris Bridge anyone? Oldham lad like Harris, know each other from Bradford days. Played for England (as well as Ireland) Outside back and can also play loose-forward?
