oh and Sean Long averaged 8.22 points per game for Saints over his career, Foster currently at 11.18.

We have lost so many games over the years due to not having a goalkicker, it is so important against good teams. He is easily good enough to be playing out there whilst we make use of his kicking talent, and still has a lot of development both physically and skillfully.

However, will he be willing to gain a shedload of muscle if this will affect his Beckham-like appearance?

End of next season.

We should get him signed up now before union come sniffing

Agreed, a solid 4 or 5 year contract would do nicely. I think he's done enough and shown plenty potential to be included in saints' future plans.

I think your right but I expect it to be at the expense of Gardner ..

IMO it's good business by saints and that's not taking anything away from gardners current form.

I would think that the emerence of Foster will mean the end of Gardner's stay at Saints, especially since we seem to have a bit of depth to back him up. He'll get a decent contract elsewhere in superleague, mind, so don't worry Ade.

Mcgilvray played basketball until he was 18, and tuck up rugby league after that. In comparison Foster has been playing the game since the age of 14. I'd say that's a pretty big difference in experience between the two of them.



Mcgilvray has been the standout winger in SL for me so far, so his stats don't surprise me one bit. The fact that Jermaine's stats hold up so well against Pat the best winger in SL, just goes to show what a good player Mcgilvray is. The same however can't be said for Foster when compared to either Pat or Jermaine, his stats are far less impressive. Well apart from the goal kicking one's, but you'd expect that from a goal kicking one trick pony.

I don't want this to appear as though I've got something against Foster because I haven't. Although his hair is pretty gay. I simply asked the original question wondering if you tuck Fosters superb kicking game off him, does he posses anymore strings to his bow. And to be honest I got the answer I expected, solid in all departments but superb in none. But hell you can make a career out of that, just ask Ade Gardner or our own Darrel Goulding.

Wow, I didn't know that! That's pretty impressive, fair play.

pound for pound roby is easily the best player in the league and is one of the very few that does not go down easy, it always seems to take a least 3 to 4 players to take him down

Actually, that was put to him on Boots'n'All one week and he said he played soccer, not basketball.

Not that it matters, but I just thought I'd say ...

He did, I saw it myself.
