I think Foster has bags of potential, not least because of the fantastic temperament he seems to have. He is often not spectacular in attack, but he can beat a man, finishes well and holds his touchline well.

Comparisons with Gardner are, in my opinion, a bit tough on him.

And what a kicker. Young lad, from halfway in terrible conditions in a finely poised Grand Final. Tricky kick to say the least, but he made it look like he nails long range penalties in the rain in front of 70k people every day before breakfast.

However talented you are, you don't do that without an ice-cool personality and being obsessive about practice. Those things will take him a long way.

hope the rumours about him going to Wigan are not true

Nah. He isn't as good as Josh Charnley is he. Why would Wigan want such an average player?

Foster is showing all the signs of being a cracking player. His kicking is wonderful, he finishes really well, is becoming more and more dangerous in broken play and is better than Charnley defensively.

He is also a marketable asset. If he stays Saints will make more from Foster shirts than they will for all other players combined I reckon. The kids love him.

You love him too.

irony aside - charnley is apparently a centre

now you have gone & done it Foster to union

400pts is an incredible feat especially for one who has been written off by half of Saints fans already after his first full season. Amazing achievement and I'm sure he'll repeat the feat next year.

He is. And unless Wigan play the geriatric welshman there next year maybe he will fill the centre gap left by Gleeson/Tomkins. Maybe Famous Amos will make a comeback on the wing then.

If charnley is worse in defence then I wouldn't out him on a rugby pitch.

Can't recall seeing foster in broken play, can't recall him ever beating a man either.

He sure can kick goals and good finisher. Without him I don't think we'd have made the top 5 and would never have made grand final without him.

I think he tops the list at Saints for clean breaks. But he doesn't have the upper body strength yet to beat a man on a kick return. His defence was great on Saturday night and his pace meant he made a try saver on Ablett.

Well done Jamie for a great season. Keep up the good work!

When a player scores a try it's counted as a clean break. I was commenting on his kick returns which IMO are worse than wello's

At least Foster can actually catch.

If we had a better option than J-Fo then fine, but we don't. He's better than Gardner and his kicking is worth a place on it's own.

That's not correct because Briers has more tries (16) than clean breaks (12) which makes sense because diving over from 5m or 10m out doesn't really constitute a clean break. I'm not sure how it's rated. Didn't we have just one clean break (according to the stats) on Saturday? Can anybody remember who got it?

Shenton when he scored?
