I know you like to remind us how inferior our youngsters are, rogues , but from reading the reviews, Brotherton sounds like a good template of a modern day superleague winger, ie he's big, no slouch over the distance, supports well and can apparently jump higher than his opposition when needed.
Unless he has some big flaws in his game, I would have thought we'd see him at least get a run out next season.

I arrived to see them clapped off last week, but posted from my phone on how big our no 12 was. One of the regular posters suggested correctly that it was Joe Greenwood. I'm pretty sure I've heard you mention his name as impressing when you've seen him?

He can't be on that little. He's just bought himself a Beemer!

We all know that Saints are negotiating with the young players at present because Simmons shared that information with us when talking about getting a new prop - whether there would be space on the salary cap.

At the end of the day, Jamie hasn't yet played for a full season. He has to be balanced with the needs of the team as a whole.

Exactly. It swing both ways. He's done very well for us, but saints have made him at the same time. He wouldn't look so clever running up and down the wing for Salford, or kicking 1 goal a week for Quins on their current form.

Im not fishing, in my opinion all you would miss is he's goal kicking. Offers very little in attack and rarely seems to beat a man, alos doesn't seem to be very quick for a winger.

The arguement is, that goal kicking has absoulutely nothing to do with being a good winger.

Meli and Makinson are your best wingers.

Foster, for me, is a very average winger, not much pace, rarely beats a man, never seen him score from over 30 yards out. Doesnt have the "X factor" like wingers such as Richards, Monaghan, Briscoe, even Broughton at Salford who I was very impressed with on Sunday.

What kind of X-Factor does Patricia Richards have? He scores a few from kicks, but he's no faster than Wellens and couldn't beat a man if he had a golf club and the man was asleep.

Take Richards goalkicking away and he'd be a white Ade Gardner, but dazed and confused about his nationality.

Well, hes not man of steel for nothing Saddo, some of pats tries are spectacular and any club in SL would take him whether you admit it or not, can you say that about Foster? As for him being no faster than Wellens, what an absoulute plank you are, he's officially the fastest player at our club and has scored more 80+ yard tries than any other winger in SL over the last few seasons. Poor attempt Saddo, il await your fantastic response.

Foster has good footwork/balance, ideal on the wing, his kicking is exceptional, and if you see some of his tries you see the lad does have pace. Plus the try in which he catches the ball behind his back took a bit of skill.

I'd rather have foster than Charnley any day of the week

It's all relative of course, but the important thing to him is that he's on less than the other players of similar age.

Expected better! (or perhaps not) I know it is only your opinion! but why lower yourself to the standards of others, I have heard this time and time again between Wigan and Saints fans about different players, how simply petty. Richards is a good player and when Foster is his age and has that experience he may be the same high standard!

Don't forget he still lives with his Mum. I'm sure he has plenty expendable income even if he's only on 20-30k.

I'm just being silly back at him in the hope he realises how silly he's being.

Anyone who says Jamie Wonder Behind the Back Try And Great Hair Foster is in any way average is clearly a fool.

I originally started the thought that Foster is a one trick pony a few months ago, and since then nothings changed my mind on that. He is very good at his one trick mind! www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2011 Of course this is a forum where members can hold any opinion they like, no matter how wrong.
