On at least three occacsions he was in at acting half back and he did not wait for the Leeds tacklers to clear out of the ruck - he just pushed them off and enabled the saints player to get up and play the ball.

On one occasion about half way through the first half - he did this and made a fair amount of ground shaking off at least three would be tackler in the process.

Considering that we did not have bags of experience in the three quarters I think that he had a really promising game.

On a number of occasions in the past we have had to battle all the harder because we did not have a dependable goal kicker. Now we have one who almost guarantees us 2 extra points which gives the team a good psychological boost as we as adding to the score.

I trust we shall see more of him during the season.

exactly.

its a nice personal record for a player to have, but it doesnt impact on anything at all. Why would Saints let him mess round with the outcome of games so he could keep a meaningless record in tact.

Foster says it was his Granddad who taught him to kick. Was his granddad a pro player or anything? Whoever he was/is I think says should employ him to spread his kicking coaching around a bit.

Ive know jamie, for years now as i was best mates with andy dixon growing up, and also played against foz and gary wheeler too many times to count. The boy is an absolute machine from all over the field, his kicks are scary. Saints should be very proud(as i presume you are) to have such great youth coming through. I know jamie dedicated his great performance to his granddad on sky, and it shows how grounded he actually is, as the boy really did learn the game from his granddad. Fair play to him, and as you have all said, i hope he continues his run in the side, and if he does, im sure hell come close to ruining those goal kicking records!

Absolute radar, he's no John Wasyliw though.
