Richards was Superleagues top try scorer last year, and he's only three behind Foster now despite playing seven games less.

That's why he won Man of Steel last season then having topped the try and goal charts?

A wind up surely? If not, this is a real contender for the most amusingly stupid post of 2011.
Richards' performances in 2010 set a new standard for SL wingers. It was a season of pure class from a very talented athlete. This is a man who as a younger player scored 20 tries in his last NRL season, but last year was at his physical and playing peak and delivered an absolute masterclass in wing play. At times last year (away at Hull for example) he was so good you almost felt sorry for the opposition.
I imagine Foster would be embarrassed by the comparison. He's a promising young player but that is just ridiculous.

| With Foster being a Wigan fan he's probably made the rumour up himself.

| Bit surprised by the level of negativity directed at Foster here. He's a good finisher and a good kicker, with an excellent mental attitude during the game - nothing seems to faze him. I'd be happy to see him at Wigan, although I'd be very surprised if he actually moved anywhere anytime soon.

Agreed but at present we have two better wingers, and Ryan King coming through the academy.
We don't need Foster, but I would have Lomax.

| Quote: 21-12 "Personally I dont get it with Foster at all, he's a good kicker, but I havnt seen him properly beat a man yet or score any outstanding tries, just an average winger in a decent side IMO.'"
Saints fans do tend to watch Saints players more often and while obviously most of us will defend our players against the snearing of opposition fans, most of us will also have a better idea rationally about what our players offer than those same opposition fans. Foster won try of the month in March, I think it was, following the try he scored at Leeds. To do that at speed, with such precision, when under pressure in a first grade game takes a level head, good balance, skill and knowledge of what he can get away with in terms of where he places the ball. Foster is very secure with the ball, which is something all teams want of their wingers (in fact, players generally!). He is fast, reliable under the bomb, a great finisher, shows great positioning, has a good rugby brain and reads a game well ... why is this 'average' just because his stats don't compare to one of your wingers?
As I said, individual coaches ask different things of their players. Maguire might ask for greater involvement from his wingers than does Simmons. A lot of our play feeds off Roby, mainly because we have had to play a lot of young inexperienced lads this year so someone has to take the game forward, but that means our style of play is centrally driven in a way yours might not be. But I am interested to know how Charnley would differ in his skills to Foster? What has he got that Foster hasn't, given the abilities I've listed above?

I seem to remember Richards terrorising him at OT in the grand final until he went off injured.
Anyway no need for the dummy spitting, that why I put IMO, IMO he isnt what he's made out to be, he's a good goal kicker and a decent finisher, doesnt look amazing defensively and poses no threat from over 20 yards out from the line. IMO
Absoulutely no chanc eid swap him for Charnley, Charnley is far more dangerous from all areas of the pitch.

Charnley has pace (alot of it) IMO Foster hasn't.
Strong in the tackle, I would trust Charnley one on one.
Comes in for work, and makes decent metres forward. Again IMO Foster has only got the goal kicking on Charnley and Josh is pretty decent at that!
