Ok , happy to have Jamie Lyons onboard ... lol

Corey Patterson ? supposedly retired to pursue a SBW like heavyweight pro boxing career.

Wonder if say you did sign someone like him if the Doc would promise too allow him to box and promote him so only pay him a nominal RL wage?

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?

Are you actually serious? Jamie foster is awful! If we sign him I'd be massively disappointed, sometimes I don't know what game people watch.

You are entitled to your opinion. I just believe a player that averages a try every two games and is prolific with the boot is worth a punt.

Averages over 10 points for every game he's played in Superleague. OK he may not be everyone's cup of tea defensively but he's a points machine.

Greg Bird? Maybe "the played at wing" reference on Twitter was a pun.

Getting picky aren't we ,
2 years ago we were getting McGoldrick & a guy getting of a Drugs ban ...
You don't get to 80 SL appearances 44 tries & 320 goals at a 76% completion rate being rubbish.
what has let him down is attitude & technique , speaking to saints friends after the 2011 season that's what let him down and ultimately what made Saints flirt him.
At 24 he still has a lot of career ahead & time to improve his game with the right club / coaching .

I'd take foster, if you think Evalds, Foster and MC/Griffin not in the starting 13 then that's very good strength in depth.

I'd still prefer a centre than a winger as do think we are a little light in that department, don't see MCB becoming the class centre I have no doubt he will do for another couple of years or so, he has the sheer pace to be a winger for now.

I'd love us to have had the chance to go for Krisnan Inu, cracking player, good kicker and doesn't get a regular starting spot in the NRL. Pretty sure too he is matey with Sa'u and Locke.

Re: Terry Campese : Mon Nov 24, 2014 5:33 pm  

Foster is destined to end up in RU. He's made for it. Got the build, the defense, and the boot for it.

Do we really need to have a player just for his kicking ability when we have J.Griffin, Dobson, Chase, and Locke who can all kick if required?

Would he be targeted with high balls? Yes. Would he be targeted as a defensive weak link? Yes. Is he faster than the alternatives? No. Is he stronger or more hardworking than the alternatives? No. So for me, would be a pointless signing.
