Its a miracle Ferres was poop 3 months ago and shouldnt have been in England team ahead of Ablett, now all of a sudden he pulls on a Leeds shirt and he's a world beater. You couldn't make it up you really couldn't.

My guess is that Hudds are still paying part of Ferres wages as they would liable to do, probably the difference between his hudds wages and his leeds wages. I wouldnt be surprised to see that difference between wagesto be similar to the transfer fee.

So for instance, Ferres is on 90k, a year
Leeds offer him a contract for 60k 1st year, with a 2 year 90k a year deal to be signed mid year
Leeds pay Hudds 50k transfer fee
Hudds pay Ferres the 30k difference to buy out his contract and pocket 20k

Reckon fair chance something like this will happen

I read your broad brush stroke BS over on your site and chose to ignore it. But seeing as you have chosen to treat us to your ramblings on here. I'll point out that many on SS rated him when he played for the Fartown last minute surrender monkeys. I remember much comment about Ferres being a poop mate and a worse husband, but don't remember many questioning his quality as a player. So it seems that you could and did make it up! Still why let facts get in the way of a good rant.

It's more likely someone will simply be loaned out from the Leeds squad.

id be surprised if any of our top 25 go on loan, maybe Baldwinson or Lilley but i can't imagine they are on a meaningful salary

TBF yes he was fortunate to make the England squad for the Kiwis series due to how much of the season he had missed through injury and if the likes of Walmsley, Ward, Joel Tomkins and George Burgess in the forwards weren't injured then he probably would've missed out. However when he did play he made the most of his chance and was the best 2nd rower for England.

12 month deal is perfect. Get Ward and Delaney 100% and give Ablett a bit of a rest. If Ferres proves his worth, he stays. If he doesn't, he's gone. Everyone's a winner (except Ferres if he doesn't play well!) Another master stroke from GH.

Hope this means Achurch can make a go of his new gym full time, what an absolute waste of time and money.

Don't recall much outrage on here, or even surprise, when Ablett didn't get an England call.

As for Ferres, I certainly wouldn't claim that he's a world beater. However, I am interested to see whether he can fulfil his potential in a more challenging environment than he's been used to.
