thought James Foster had a very good game.. Nothing fazed (is that how you spell it?!) him and will be an outstanding player for years to come (and no im not his mum)

Alex Murphy was old enough at what age when he made his debut, it is if you are Good Enough that is more important - Foster has talent it will be interesting how he develops.

It really irritates me when Alex Murphy is pulled out and used to bash young players around the head. Alex Murphy was a gifted scrum half. Players as naturally brilliant as he was come along once a generation. And they are distinctly rare, as are all those who are a genius in their field.

Foster was playing as a centre until he was introduced into the first team. He was dragged off at Salford. What a turnaround the lad has had and he is definitely our best improved player of the season. He has talent and enthusiasm and real skill now.

There's also a massive difference in phsyicality which young players have to cope with now. Bobby goulding was playing for Wigan when he was 17, but that was in the days of semi pro training and majorly less advanced sport science.

good job for him he got lucky and stumbled across the game then eh?

Good job for us, too. If it wasn't for him, we'd have lost to the Pies three times during 2010!
