Think its an injustice to say he is a distinctly average winger.. he ticks all the boxes for me whilst being workmanlike and very honest in his effort, he does nothing spectacular like Tb but lets be honest TB is a freak of a winger isnt he.
Better than sharp IMO and makes few mistakes .. good young kid and i definately will look upon him warmly when we play against him in the future as he has worked very hard for FC and seems a cracking kid too (apart from my youngest had his hair done like his last week)

He's a decent winger, works hard and is an exceptional goal kicker. However, he isn't blessed with great pace, has no real step and also lacks size. Even PG when asked yesterday said "he turns 4s into 6s".

He could always block pave it.

Against Wigan he made 3 carries for 18 meters, to me that isn't working hard.

Decent winger all the same though.

Staying now by all accounts

After Sunday his loan would be a week-by-week basis. It won't be until the end of the season - Saints will want to have the ability to recall him (I'm sure they wouldn't want him playing for us if we met them in the playoffs due to his goal-kicking).

In the Daily Wail Foster only got a 6, while the rest of the players got 7 & 8s. I could not weigh that one up. The reporter must of been watching a different game(not Smailes). He was nowhere near the worst Hull player on the pitch, even his goal kicking saw to that.

Not a bad player, but not too fussed about him staying or going really. If we're being brutally honest, if he wasn't a goal kicker it would be a no contest between him and Lineham already once Horne is fit. It's only a debate because of Tickle's absence.

makes sense given the injury to lineham

I think that if Lineham hadn't have gotten injured we would have seen Foster returning to Saints.

Sharp will be back soon (but will be in the 20s again this week) and I guess that Gentle wants to have 3 options for the wing spots because we'd be screwed if we got another injury.

He's not a bad player but he isn't brilliant either. He can score a try okay and his support play is good, but his defence is pretty average and he has missed a few tackles/shot out of the line. Briscoe is far superior as a winger, obviously, and I think that Lineham is looking a better talent. Stronger, faster, better tackler.
Foster seems pretty similar to Sharp in terms of ability, but his kicking raises him above Sharp in the pecking order.

It would be concerning if Saints were to partner Foster and Turner on the same side next season.

Here is an idea for the young lads, learn to kick a ball well and you will get a deal at SL club, don't worry about any other skills.
