I like Foster, handy finisher and a fantastic goalkicker - the latter attribute maybe less relevant depending on who else is picked (personally, Sinfield for England? Not for me) but there again his success rate must surely be one of the best? I've seen Foster score some great tries and although I don't see him play every week he seems very dependable in all aspects of his game for this stage in his SL career. Took his chance and secured his spot in a Saints side that has some very promising young players. His Twitter is also pretty damn funny to follow
Is he that far behind the likes of Briscoe and Hall? England wingers seem to be on the whole dependable but lacking flair - though maybe we need higher quality or at least more familiar centre pairings (for example - Yeaman-Briscoe looks pretty nice for Hull this season, regardless of results)
As for Lomax - I'm surprised if he wasn't in the frame but give him time. FWIW I think England's half-back pairing on Friday would have benefited from having him in the team.
It goes to show that we do have some halves and backs to choose from - but we're missing an Inglis!
