| As I said on the Saints squad thread, I would imagine Wellens replacement will come from either Gaskell, Lomax or Ashe.

Lomax would be the one better there than 6 !

He also has great positional sense, is great under the high ball and has balls. Although slight, he has done some great tackling. I can still see him on two occasions: once at the CC semi when he single-handedly brought Keith Senior down by a kind of limpet tackle thingy right in front of where I was sitting and the other occasion when, having been run over by Karl Pryce the first time, he positioned himself better, ran at Pryce from the side and sent him flying into touch. He's a smart cookie is Foster, just as Wheeler is, and I hope Simmons brings him on.

| Quote: Rommel "Does Jamie deserve his starting place this season on the wing instead of Gardner or Meli?
Plus side he kicks better than Kyle (and Kyle probably won't be fit for the start of the season)?
Negatives: he was found lacking in the Grand Final although Meli left him high and dry with his defending?
I'd start the season with Jamie and drop Meli
Jamie Foster should be first choice wing ahead of gardner, without a doubt!
Meli had a pretty good season last year as he always does (except finals) and foster after the away game at salford looked very good on the wing.
Foster's reading of the game is very very good for such a young lad, he's safe under the high ball, his defence is good but does lack a little in attack but i think as he builds himself up and puts beef on he will be a bigger player in attack for us.
IMO Gardner has had three terrible years, has lost 5 yards of pace and makes the wrong choice in defence nearly every time, he should start off 3rd choice winger.
Rommel, i think you'll find it was lomax on meli's wing the grand final.

| Quote: Saintly_Sinner "IMO i would not play wheeler at centre i would give his a chance at that 7 shirt when kyle is not playing. He is a fantastic 6 so why cant he play 7. 2 seasons ago we played Wakefeild away and he ripped them to bits him self with pryce 6 untill he got injured . He needs a good run with out injures and he will light up super league.
I would also try to play lomax or foster more this season on the wing and give one of them the shirt full time next season.'"
Ultimately i see Wheeler moving to 6. However for now i would play him at centre, so he can gain experience.
If all goes well and the players develop to their potential then a few years down the line, we may see Kyle and Wheeler in the halves, Lomax fullback, Foster in one centre, Gaskell in the other centre, with Shenton on one wing and Armstrong on the other.
Then again Tommy Makinson could end up in one of the centre berths. With Gaskell playing in the halves or at fullback.
Re Ashe he is quick, think he needs a lot of work to be a decent fullback though. May ultimately end up on the wing if he makes it.
The good thing is that there is a lot of competition amongst the youngsters. It should help them strive to improve.

| Quote: The Chair Maker "Didnt think he woas found lacking in the grand final, and he didnt play alongside Meli, that was Lomax. So I think your getting your players mixed up.'"
That was my first thought too. It was Meli, Lomax and Flannerys wing that got found out time and time again in that game. Foster and Gidley were solid. Flannerys static defence and Lomaxs size were the main issues we had on that day.
Foster will more than likely play for most of the year on the wing with Shenton. While Meli will be on the other side as either a winger with Soliola or Wheeler or as a centre with Gardner.

| Foster was exposed under the high ball in the Grand final, only the fact that Richards went off after 35 minutes gave him some respite.
Shaun McRae alluded to it in his commentary.

Exposed like every other winger was against Richards last season you mean? Hardly a fair example.

He's a myth. The only way anyone is exposed by Paat Richards is if you give away penalties under the posts or when he's under no pressure.
He made up his leg injury so he could avoid the pressure of having to kick when it meant something. He'd go well at Saints.

I've said on here before that I think he could make it as a fullback. I'm not sure how pacey he is over the long term - he's certainly nippy short distance - but he has very good positional sense, is good under the high ball, good hands, a sidestep, balls, learns quick and reads the game well. He would also manage to kick the ball over the halfway line for a dropout, instead of doing a Wello when all the fans are wishing the ball would get somewhere close to the halfway line!

Rubbish. He caught the high ball that won the match on 20 June. But it wasn't a Grand Final. He was only just 20, he had only played in the first team for half a season, he'd never been in a final before, and his team were playing bollox. He wasn't exposed at all. Next time he is at a final, he'll be fine.

Your memory is playing tricks with you again. Yes Karl Pryce did run over Foster just on half time, but the tackle to which you are referring was on George Carmont, Pryce had left the field injured (just for a change).
