Accomplised performance tonight. Cool under pressure, returned well. For me highlighted how much Gardner has gone backwards in recent seasons.

Plays above his weight, think we've seen the last of Meli in the wing postion. jumping up to the high ball he was superb tonight.

He is solid under the high bomb too, unlike Meli.

Talking of Gardner, he's been very good himself in recent weeks. His workrate tonight was fantastic, just as it was last week. I bet the forwards will appreciate his efforts, even if you don't.

And a Kirk Douglas dimple in his chin, as well....Jammy git

Outstanding from him today - him and Matty Smith were our two stand out performers.

Work rate is as good as anyone, yes. But i want a winger who can beat a man for pace, return a ball with interest and hold his line in defence. All of which Ade isn't doing well enough if at all. I'm not usually one to knock players as my previous posts will show but he (imo) is going backwards.

Gardner is putting in the effort and looking less fragile but ultimately is not good enough.
Fair play to him he is really grafting.
Given his size pace and experience he should be migrating to centre at this stage of his career.
He is too synthetic a player and fragile to be a centre.

Foster is doing it at the moment. Not an instant Albert but is offering evasion and threat with
ball in hand. Kicking goals , diffusing bombs and wowing the ladies with his haircut and
boyband looks. The future is bright for foster.

I think Ade is doing alright at the moment especially defensively. Not too bothered about pace at the moment, skill is more important. We are told we have the slowest back line in Superleague yet we have scored the most tries and metres (yet again ) this season.

He was like a salmon catching those bombs!! Top performance from the young kid. He's growing in confidence with every game he plays.

Gardner's first ten minutes were catstrophic though. He came in unneccesarily for both of King's tries.

But, on subject, yes - what a very accomplished performance by Foster. He looks very much the part.
