Ah. You noticed it too then! I just thought it was me seeing flaming red hair and a face to match exactly where a committed and enthusiastic defender should be.

i really don't see what he offers.

Jammer is a hot head and I've seen him lose his rag which resulted in him cracking a bone in his hand.

Jammer and wilkin had regular fall outs but always made up and didbt come to blows.

IMO jammer isn't a good captain and has no thought to how certain players react. Some need a arm around them and some need a kick up the bum but jammer preferred the later

When you've torn every last shred of hair out watching your club's blasé attitude to kicking (over the best part of three seasons) explode in its face, costing heaven knows how many conversions, penalties and in some cases matches, you'll appreciate precisely what Foster offers.

Sounds like a different James Graham to the one we saw after last years Grand Final defeat.

Yeah, so the photo of Jammer comforting Makinson after our GF defeat was a total fiction then?

You see, it's stuff like this which demonstrates why the fundamentals of debate should be re-introduced to schools.

1. Since when did a "prefer(ence" amount to an unbreakable law of the universe? I mean, I prefer oxtail soup to minestrone. Does this mean if I suddenly fancy a change and eat the latter it follows that I absolutely do not prefer oxtail? Of course not.

2. We have ALL seen Graham ranting at other Saints players over mistakes, positioning etc. etc. Of course it isn't personal and after the game they are all friends again. But no two players are alike. Remember, these guys are out there every day fighting not just for the team but their livelihoods as well. SL is a cut-throat business and mistakes have ended many a career. If you are a player lacking self-confidence and on a poor run of form the [ilast thing[/i you need after dropping a clanger is your skipper, veins and eyeballs bursting from his skin, two inches from your face calling you a phucking idiot. It's the type of thing that can linger in a player's memory - worse still grow to shape his personality.

3. Regardless of whether you think Graham is an entirely supportive captain it is clear Gary Wheeler (and by implication other players) isn't entirely convinced. Which means you're arguing against your own players.

Just about sums up the ignorance of some fans of untouchable Non Relegation clubs.

Had you played Leigh last night the crowd would have been about 17000.

Foster had a bad game ok but Cats deserved the win not least because their players AND ALL OF THEM never gave up.

Do not run down clubs the RFL do not care about just cos your team lost a game they should have won because of your own hairstyle.

What a horribly hypocritical post, one on hand you're just sterotyping footballers of having an attitude and on the other you're comparing one RL player acting like a footballer, whatever that means, against a 'model pro' so in that case why is this attitude exclusive of footballer if RL players have it too, maybe it's just a human nature thing?



So because he goes on Twitter he's distracted? I would imagine he doesn't spend all his spare hours on there so he probably isn't distracted at all. Maybe just needs to work on things, something the coaching staff should be doing. It's a pathetic attitude some people have on here that Foster should be dropped down to the U20's because that'll improve him no end, won't it? I love this impression some people have that RFL don't care, of course they don't I'm sure they'd love to see all the clubs outside SL go bust, eh?

Exactly right Mugwump. Which is what makes O'Loughlin a good captain over at Wigan, despite some (albeit much fewer these days) Wigan fans being convinced the only way to captain a side is to 'bawl them out'. As a matter of fact, I don't actually know of many people who respond to being bawled at in any walk of life, let alone in a high pressure job like professional sportsman. IMO it's usually counter productive. look at Joynt or Scully for you guys. Didn't really see them giving the hair dryer tratment too often. Didn't stop the trophies coming though....

That was after the game, just watch it back and watch him under the sticks. Ranting and raving.

I dont care what you say, I've seen his temper first hand.

I didn't mean it like that and shouldn't have named teams. I was trying to make the point that if he doesn't start getting his rugby head back on he will find himself drifting off in to a lesser team or lower league.

Jamie has shown he can play rugby but IMO he's a little distracted with the good life that comes with it.

As I said, a little run in the u20s would do him good at the moment. He can still have his flash car, nice clothes, hairdressers, the hairstyle etc while staying a good player but he needs to come down to earth and start doing what he's paid a good wage to do.

Indeed and obviously you are the one to take it forward. However, I would suggest you return to the classroom yourself first in order to refamiliarise yourself with the art of reading in context. My post was a direct response to a bit of mind reading by Pete. How does Pete know what Jammer prefers? That's right; he doesn't. I simply responded with an example of when Jammer was quite the opposite to his ranting and raving self, suggesting that there is more to the man than ranting and raving. And Pete still does not know what approach Jammer prefers.

You're right. The only person who really knows is James Graham. But this [idoes not[/i mean we cannot make a rational assumption based on observable evidence (of which there is A LOT) and the testimony of the very people Graham bestowed his captaincy upon - players such as Gary Wheeler.

Like I said, I know jammer is a hot head and I've seen it first hand.

Oh, I take it wheeler don't know him either?
