David ferriol has been a saints target since the first year poker took over. The has been many clubs in past after him including Wigan and bulls.

The sticking point every time is the fact he has his own business in the south of France and hasn't been willing to leave it. (I think it's wine)

IMO he's on his way out as a player now and has started to give more pens away then he used to which is a lot!

Surely you are not arguing against an additional prop???

Not sure we can afford to sign an aging player with a habit of giving away penalties. Not in money terms, but points terms.

Re: David Ferriol : Tue Nov 08, 2011 4:14 pm  

Not interested. He's reckless without the ball and not worth the investment.

I'm under the impression he's looked past his best, this year? Forwards like Casty, Mounis and Batieri (sp) along with their coconuts seem to have a bigger influence when I've seen them recently.

I'm not really a great fan of comparing stats, but having a quick look at ferriols stats and comparing them to other props really does make you question why we would consider taking him. He compares poorly across all the stats, his penalty count and metres gained are really poor, the only thing he has going in his favour is that he played virtually every game. Royce appears to dislike penalty machines, like Moore, so can't really see him bringing ferriol to the new Knowsley rd

I'd like to see Ferriol in the red vee, if he could cut out the penalties he'd add real grunt to the front row
