Jamie Foster! : Sat Feb 06, 2016 8:24 pm  

I don't comment on here very often but Jamie Foster has just confirmed on his FB page that he's signed for us!

Terrible signing! This guy in my opinion hasn't been super league quality for a long time, if ever! Hope he proves me wrong though and I suspect he won't be on a lot of money.

wow....i'm actually speechless !!

We are desperate.

Good luck! His tackling is awful!. Only good thing is his goal kicking

A desperation signing. if for one season i could live with it.

Murphy to full back , foster to wing But that is a sad indictment of our academy that we do not have anyone who can step up to play wing.

I would rather write this season off and sign some quality players next season.

With money left from Ferres and Robbo Patrick and Grix. Anderson can build a team that can challenge next season

Hmmm. Where has he been since Bradford a couple of years back? Not a sarcastic comment I actually don't know!
I remember his ball kicking and his hair flopping about which was rather annoying.
However at this current moment in time we need a full back, if this lad wants to put on the claret and gold and try help out situation I am not going to fault him.
much like our fitness staff I will see how things go rather than judging them early let alone before the lads even touched a ball.

I think he's been playing RU for some lower grade team since he left bradford.

Can we have Jared Simpson back if you think Foster is better?

Odd signing. He can kick goals but not much else. No pace. No elusive skills. No power. He can pass but he's a winger so not much need for that.

Defensively he's not great either.

Simpson maybe out long term. I put up a team that could run out next week with the injury list we have and named him at full back to cover grix and one of our lot came out as said he has picked up a bad knock.

Well even if we Use him on the wing it means we can take Murphy to full back!

At this moment in time we need a couple of players to cover injury. Beginning of the season is the wrong time to try get players in!

If its a short term then, well if needs must. Makes the broughton situation all the more puzzling as to why he wasn't replaced. I'd much rather have given one of the younger guys a shot on the wing, but they staff obviously know there's no one up to it yet. But still puzzling as he's got a boot that's it, very poor in defence.
