Foster for me is too small to play rugby league. He is a plucky kid who has done superbly to overcome the potentially demoralising horror show at Salford earlier in the season. But he's like a toy to most Super League wingers, he would need to double in girth to play in the centres IMO.

It's not like he's blessed with pace either, he's no flyer.

I agree. I have no idea why there is criticism from our fans of Foster. He certainly wasn't scared to take on Richards in the air, contesting for the ball. The fact that Richards had the experience to jump in front of Foster meant that Foster didn't get the ball. But he damn well tried. He didn't let us down at all. Nor did Dixon or Lomax. The way Lomax saved the try was fantastic. Had only the whole team showed that dedication to defence we might have been in with a chance, halfbacks or not. Alas, our defence has been poor all season.

he is faster than ade and meli put together is jamie, and as for passing the ball i really dont no what game you was watching but i saw him make more and take more tackles than meli has all season!

Are you a novice to Rugby League, don't know what game you were watching and basing your comment on.

You watched a different game to me. Foster was by far a better player than lomax in that game. I don't recall him throwing the ball away once.

are you on a chemical or something ? He was one of the few Saints players who seemed to give a dam today along with robes and wello.

From a Wigan supporter! Foster was one of Saints better players last night, didnt do anything wrong! Showed great confidence for a young lad.....as for being too small......Sam Tomkins springs to mind! Foster has class, you can tell that when you watch him, he's confident, fast, can read the game, always in the right position! All players senior and young have nightmare games, last night for Foster was not one of them, and he can hold his head high! He's young, and a positive for Saints is, he only going to get better!!

Matt

what a joke. foster, roby and wellens only seem to be the ones who wanted it last night. what happened with cunningham thought he would have thrown everything into that.

Foster I'm sure will become a solid super league player theres no question about that but at 20 he is no real threat with ball in hand.

hes soft and doesnt go looking for the ball for e,g ade gardner goes looking for it and carrys the ball hard foster doesnt when he goes looking for it he goes to dummy half and just passes it hes happy just being on the pitch and not working hard for a winger his work rate is terrible hes bin on the pitch purley to kick goals. he does have potential but he need to toughen up he doesnt like carrying the ball for me

Which saints games have you been watching this season?

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)

just my veiw on him at the moment but i do also agree hes only 19 hes got bags of time to develope all the things i think he needs to work on and hes defo at the right club with the right people behind him.all the best to the lad i want him to prevale but at the moment i think hes abit soft n work shy

he will never be a winger as he doesn't possess the required pace even at his current age.

Coundnt agree more with lee the saint very true....yes he foster mite have skill but he just doesn't work hard enough 4 the team
