Foster was a pretty simply kettle of fish.
He could kick goals from all over, which is a great asset for the team. Whilst he didn't offer anything remarkable with the ball he was solid. Last year he showed on many occasions the abilty to be solid under kicks and he'd finish most trys in the corner if there was space.
So we got a 90% goal kicker who wouldn't let you down by fluffing chances or making mistakes.

Then he started making mistakes. Atrocious ones. Until he can rectify that, he won't warrant a place in front of someone like Mlei who may also make mistakes, but can offer a lot with ball in hand to compensate - At least not while we have other players that can kick goals.

If I was Jamie foster, I'd jump at the offers.

Complete inability to defend costing numerous games and big games like Grand Finals?????

What mistakes is he making at this current time? He can't be making many, we've won something like 9 of our last 11 league games with only two defeats to Wigan.

Let's be honest, Jamie foster has cost us about 6 points this year with his problems in defence and under the high ball.

We can't drop a player now because he lost us two grand finals 3yrs ago!

The same ones he has always made. That he isn't more of a disaster is often down to Wello covering his back on the tryline.


I take it you weren't at the 2011 Grand Final then? He cost us two tries in that one alone, and we were in a winning position at the time too.

I can't wait to see the back of him.

I'm not a Meli fan but he's certainly better than foster. They both make mistakes but Meli offers more with the ball.

I disagree. Or at least I disagree based upon the majority of Foster's performances and the majority of Meli's performances over the last 18 months.

It don't matter about 18 month ago, that's history now, it's about the here and now.

And he is still as bad as 18 months after!!!

It doesn't say much for Jamie foster then does it

Yeah, right.

He certainly can kick better than Meli but not so sure about the rest.

I'll leave it at that, we just going round in circles and getting bored now.

I think you know my opinion on lance hohaia.

Dixon wasn't dropped for flannery, Dixon covered flannery while he was Ill, then Dixon covered flanaghan (I think) the following week.

Dixon was never ever going to be in the starting 17 this year unless we got injuries.

Meli has been mostly great for 3 entire seasons in most areas of the game with only a disastrous grand final 3 seasons ago and a few odd howlers since to badly blot his copybook. Foster had a solid first year in the team, followed by a steady decline over his second season to the point of becoming little more than a (vaguely) mobile turnstile this season. To compare the qualities of the 2 players is just frankly ridiculous even for the clueless one-eyed kneejerker brigade. To suggest dropping Meli (our one and only back who has consistently given opposition defences trouble for many years remember) for phantom deficiencies that he has hardly ever displayed in 3 entire years and hardly at all this season, while simultaneously calling for the reinstatement of Foster who this season has consistently made the kind of game-losing errors game-in, game-out, that Meli has never in his career come close to except in the diseased imagination of SaintsFan and her preposterous ilk is an new all-time low in Numpty Fandom. What do these people pack for brains anyway?
