Would take a win whatever the performance today. London won quite a few games against us at the start of the season so happy the team have come away with 2 points.
Will take a couple of games to knock off the rusty play.....looking forward to our home game v Salford.

Gutted I missed today's game and can't wait for Friday.

He openly admits he's not dealing with kicks.

Again, not the kind of comment that I'd expect from someone who is believing his own hype.

Perhaps it's more a confidence issue? Just because he is a Flash Harry, doesn't mean he's not confident when a kick comes to him

Whatever it is, it needs putting right ASAP or its going to cost us.

LMS did have a break in the second half
Personally did not think foster had that bad a game for you lot
Kicking game was not the best, we gifted you the ball a couple of times from kicks though even from poor kicks
Lomax and Roby the difference today
LMS had to contend with Kauffusi and could not dominate

Thanks to all yr lot that came down on a cold horrible day when the snow was on its way
Good to see the bar full even if it was Saints fans!
Hope you all had a safe journey home

I think Royce is judging the lesser of the two evils.

Having no recognised (dead cert) goal kicker is a greater liability than Foster dropping the odd ball or 2 or 3 or 4. I reckon it is a confidence thing, needs plenty of catching practice.

I just hope his poor catching isn't something that sticks with him like it has Meli and plenty other wingers.

Some players just can't catch high balls, no matter how much they practice. I just hope Jamie takes a few kicks next week and his confidence grows.

Only a few season ago we were lamenting the lack of a good goalkicker and now we have one,ok he may of dropped a couple today,but in wintery conditions its going to happen,over the course of a season he will score far more points than he costs us.Every player makes mistakes just the mistakes the back 3 make are more visible to everyone.

Who would people put on the wing to replace him and why ?

I've not read all the posts on this thread but from what I've read, I've not seen anyone mention or call for him to be dropped.

Chill out, sit back and read the posts before posting, nobody wants him dropped.

It's a simple fact he's struggling on kicks and it needs sorting out, as we know more than anyone, dropped kicks can lose big games, ask Meli.

It maybe he's not getting enough protection even but whatever it is, we need to fix it ASAP for the sake of Jamie and the team.

Does anybody remember when we last won our first match of the season?
