Quote: The Chair Maker "I would concur with Bewareshadows comments.
Much of the criticism aimed at Foster was of a personal rather than playing nature.
It says a lot, that for many fans their main criticism of him was to refer to him as "Boyband"
Playing wise Jamie is a diamond in the rough. His natural position is centre, and at academy level he represented England in that position. His winger by the way in the England team was Sean Ainscough, who was made to look like a worldbeater by Jamie who set him up for a number of trys with classical centre play.
At first team level he has so far only played on the wing. This is due i think in part to his lack of physical maturity. If he fills out as he matures, i see no reason why he cannot move into the centres and show people his real talent.
An indication of his lack of physical maturity was the ribbing he used to get from the Saints players who used to make many a reference to his "boy arms".'"
Shaun Ainscough (please note the spelling) was named player of the series during that visit to Australia. Maybe Jamie Foster or his family would like Jamie to take the credit for that but somehow I feel Ainscough probably got the award from his own playing ability at that time.
I'm not one to knock new signings and am willing to wait to see what happens in the future, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now.
