Exactly Brearley and just for the record 54 tries in 90 odd appearances is not bad going.He may just surprise some folk.

yes hoping so, will look forward to seeing him action, got to give the lad a chance, obviously got talent and we might bring it back out of him

Just like to amend my previous post, Jamie Foster has scored 98 tries and kicked 405 goals in his pro career to date,lets hope he can add a few more for us.

Re: Jamie Foster! : Thu Feb 11, 2016 7:23 pm  

looks like he will be playing on the wing for us, wonder if he will take the goal kicking duties of ellis

murphy full back, been such a good winger for us too

Re: Jamie Foster! : Sat Feb 13, 2016 1:00 pm  

went ok on debut, would have liked to see him take the ball in abit more to take workload off the forwards

unlucky with the wigan try, looked to be a knock on from them jumping up

Re: Jamie Foster! : Sat Feb 13, 2016 1:34 pm  

Did ok, good finish and a couple of big hits in defence too...if he's willing to work hard and put the effort in he could be a decent addition to the squad.

Re: Jamie Foster! : Sat Feb 13, 2016 1:40 pm  

I thought he turned away at the last minute on that high ball, should have done better really but under pressure I suppose, took his try well, great tackle first half shooting out of line and would like to see him kick if he stays as its the best part of his game. I'm not sure Wigan know left from right as everything seemed to go to jerry and Leroy at times and not to the new guys, no brainer for me that. Id stick with murph at the back though solid hands and return, sometimes wasted on the wing, there's more to his game.

Re: Jamie Foster! : Sat Feb 13, 2016 4:49 pm  

was ok, nothing special, did what was asked of him, took his try well enough, but defence was always the big question mark against him, thought he did ok there apart from the jump for their try.

let's not get too carried away though, the sign him up stuff last night was particularly cringey.

but like Daz says, if his attitude and fitness is right then a good squad player.

Positive in some of his reading of when to come in and tackle ( better decision making than Jerry on that svcore).

But he is still a liability under the high ball. A short term contract would be worth it to me.

Re: Jamie Foster! : Sat Feb 13, 2016 9:54 pm  

thought like a lot on here when he signed for hull, tbf he did ok for us, lot worse about

Re: Jamie Foster! : Sun Feb 14, 2016 10:07 am  

A lot of positives to take from his performance. Wigan is a hard task and though they didn't test his side as much as I thought they would some cobwebs will certainly of been blown away.
Took his try well and after the Wood strip if he'd of got the offload away I reakon he'd of had the pace to make some good ground for us. Great positional play.

Will be tough for him to back it up but he gets an extra week to prepare as do all of our squad.

Murphy at fullback is exciting too. Grix may have to work harder to get his place back than we realised when he returns.
