Jamie on his way to Hull on loan

Sharp out for the season - Crooks now injured too, so makes sense to get someone in with SL experience i guess - not that i rate him

Interesting. Interesting indeed.



He's a decent player, I wish we could fit him in. Every club needs a poster boy and I'll bet he was by far the biggest cause of merchandise sales last season. Foster 22 was on the back of almost every shirt sold to the <18 demographic I'll bet.

could be a good move for him...



build his confidence back up by playing regular first team SL rugby and hopefully get back to the form and potential he showed for us in 2011. If he can find his feet again and show Nathan Brown he can still do a job as a SL winger, no reason why he couldnt be back in first team at Saints in 2013!

good stuff. even if he never comes back to Saints he doesn't deserve to be doomed to the Reserves for the rest of his career.

They're also missing tickle now, aren't they? So they're short of their main goal kicker.

Good luck to him, I hope he gets plenty game time to prove he's worth a spot with us next year

Good news, this. He wasn't going to break into our first team anytime soon, so it's a chance for him to impress.

They might miss tickle now they have someone who misses tackles.

I don't rate him tbh, but our squad is shot to pieces so at least he has a bit of experience at this level.



He would get squad number 39 and of he plays on Monday it will be the 5th game in a row that we have handed out a debut.



It will be good for him to get some game time too, including hopefully a play off game or two.

Not impressed. We send a young homegrown player out on loan and hold on to an ageing antipodean who is lazy in defence and always lets us down in big games. I hope he stings us where it hurts personally.

Ditto.

Meli is miles better than Foster, it's not even close.



Re: mistakes in big games, Foster can count himself very lucky that his atrocious error against Wigan didn't contribute to us being dumped out of the play-offs last year.



Lazy in defence? Superleague website suggests he's missed 5 tackles all season and he hits far harder than Foster ever could.



As for hoping he stings us where it hurts, I can't help but think you let your own personal agendas cloud what is in the best interests of the team.



As a general point, Meli probably been our best outside back again this year - check out his breaks and busts stats. I think some people's dislike of him is so entrenched they are completely incapable of assessing his performances rationally.
