You've got to feel for Huddersfield in all this. They're very unlikely to get anything like what they'd want for Ferres as he's clearly marked "Fire sale" and virtually every team in NRL and SL will have their squad (and cap) close to finalised for next season. A player-swap would seem to be the best they could get right now.

No it doesn't directly affect the lads he plays alongside! Stop building it up to be bigger than what it is!! It affects Huby and that's it. That's why he's not at Huddersfield anymore.

Some people on here amaze me. Just because he's had it away with Mrs Huby, doesn't mean he's going to make a b-line for your missus. Paranoia or what?

F-All to do with paranoia their team-mate Huby has been shat on by someone else in their "team" of course it effects them or do you think none of them get on at all?
If it didn't effect them why would they speak out and call for Ferres to be gone?
Either way i doubt we'll be seeing Ferres in a Leeds shirt anytime soon and im happy about that.

Link on the Warrington board says the deal to Roosters fell through because Hudds wanted a player on loan in return so would we be prepared to do that? Achurch maybe?

Mmm...I suspect that deal would be fraught with complications. Respective wages of the players for a start, questions re whether Hudds would want Ferres playing for a rival, whether Achurch would want to play for Hudds, or whether Hudds would be tempted by a player with the track record of injuries and poor form of Achurch for a start. Don't see it happening myself.

If we were gonna sign Westerman ! then Ferres is a no brainer !!!

Re: Ferres to Roosters falls through. : Mon Dec 07, 2015 2:44 pm  

Ferres is most definitely a no brainer but he is a great Second Rower, and we should be looking to sign him at the Rhinos. Nothing else matters apart from Playing Ability. People moaning about him kn0bbing a lass in his own time should dismount that very high horse.

Kevin Sinfield is the man he is purely due to his playing ability.

With Ward out until May and JJB potentially a while away also, this is a signing I think we need.

Re: Ferres to Roosters falls through. : Mon Dec 07, 2015 9:41 pm  

Ferres is under contract until 2019 at Giants. Likely to be be on pretty high wages given one of their best players. can't see Anderson going for. A church as a 1 year loan swap and I can't see Leeds going for it either. The benefit he could bring for 1 year has to be weighed up versus the spirit in the camp. I get the points that players don't care etc who they line up with but when Leeds made those type of signings in the past - the team did not win trophies. There is a lot we don't know and at end of day I trust gh will make right call either way. Leeds have lost key leaders and now not right time to risk any distractions for 1 year of a better 2nd row forward imho.

True they might not be interested in Achurch, that was just a name I threw out there as an obvious expendable departure for Leeds. However Hudds have to be realistic here. At this time of year with squads sorted then what quality of player do they expect to get on loan in return? No one is going to release one of their best starting second rowers (or any starter) at this point for a controversial signing.
