Perhaps Gentle will be aware of his slight frame and change things around a bit to accommodate it. If your fullback tracks well too that would help so he can be on hand to lend extra muscle if need be but that should be par for the course with a fullback anyway. It's only his frame that is the problem; not his effort. He isn't afraid to tackle and he's not workshy. He just needs a bit of help close to the line.
I remember him once downing Keith Senior single-handedly in a fantastic limpet like tackle. That was in his debut season when he was even skinnier! But it wasn't right near the tryline so he had space to run into Senior and make his momentum count.
No. But he is supposed to.
And an additional issue, our fullback will be playing his 3rd game for us, so it's hard to say what we can expect of him just yet. Unfortunately I can see Foster being hung out to dry on occasion, as Sharp and Crooks before him have been. One of the joys of being a Hull fan in recent years is seeing right wingers floundering in a sea of opposition attackers.
