Quote: bewareshadows "It's not a fool proof arguement
ie Scott Moore; Saints - Widnes, Brough; did round robin of many clubs, Danny Ore; Cas - Wigan, Shenton; Cas - Saints - Cas, Rangi Chase; NRL - Cas - ?, Sean Long, Bobbie Goulding, Kevin Brown, Luke Robinson etc'"
Most of those were big talents but trouble makers that big clubs gave up on and wouldn't take the chance of a big contract on until/if they matured. Shenton would be snapped up by any team in the league given an opportunity - he was let go by Saints early to a non-threat club because he just hasn't settled here and we didn't want him coming back to haunt us in a Leeds shirt. Hardly comparable to Foster who none of the big clubs want simply because he isn't good enough for the top level and hasn't developed past his early promise. If he signs for Wigan or Warrington in a year or 2 and tears the league up then we can bemoan a poor Saints recruitment decision, but frankly he won't and it isn't.
