Foster isn't scared nor did he throw the ball away.
He "threw" the ball to team mates in a couple of plays where Saints were trying to keep the ball alive in the attempt to get it wide and outflank Wigan.
Whilst no flyer he does have good deal of pace.
The one thing that hasn't been mentioned is his goalkicking.
Without him Saints are struggling if Lomax and Eastmond are out.
With it being Lomax's first game for a while I thought Foster was doing the kicking as he has for a number of weeks.
Foster suffered, like all Saints backs, from playing behind a pack that was outplayed.
This criticism of Foster is unfounded.

What a pile of steaming bollox! Jamie Foster has shown without any doubt whatsoever that he works his butt off for the team. He has cleaned up our messes for weeks now. He has put his body on the line in defence, including catching some highly pressurised bombs, and he has taken the ball up as fast and as far as he can. He has been consistently praised by pundits and fans equally for his positional sense, his goal kicking and his determination. To question Foster's commitment to the Saints cause is ridiculous to the extreme.

Foster IMO was brought in at first as we had no goal kickers fit but he then played himself into the team and has been very very good for us.

His reading of the game is his best ability from what ive seen so far and very safe under the high ball.

Saints fan!! who are you his grandad!! You'll b comparing him to greg inglis abs jarad hayne soon!!

Saintsfan is a she and i agree with her, he's done well this year.

I thought he was good last night

I may be as stupid as some people on here claim I am sometimes, but I'm not that stupid. And I'm a million miles away from the stupid your post makes you look.

Think you should be looking at your other wing if you want to criticise someone. I've not seen Gleeson and Goulding tear a side up that easy all season!

It's what most of us were dreading. But Potter still put Meli on the wing and decided a partially fit inexperienced stand off who had never played at centre before was the right person to put next to him.

Close the door behind you when you leave, Mick.

The half backs normally defend in the centre, that happens at most clubs. Lomax had a shocker, simple as that really.

That's right, Little Miss Sunshine, and you know why that is right? Because he is a CENTRE.

I haven't really looked to be honest but fair point. To be fair to Lomax, he did manage a brilliant save though. And he wasn't the only one to have a shocker.

(I'm afraid I just can't criticise our inexperienced guys: they really did their best for a first GF)

Which games have you been watching, young Foster has the right temperement and attitude. he's a season behind Lomax and will probably come into the 2011 season with a bit more muscle and confidence.
From what I can remember he's had 1 bad game against Salford. All his other games have been on equal or better par than Meli and Gardner.

Also want too add that I was abit ed at the time of this post hope Foster and lomax do progress cos at the end of the day I'm a saints fan and I want it to b us lifting that trophy at the end of next season....
