Not whingeing just stating facts as much as it hurts. Hubcap was load of poop as well till Leeds win it now its part of a treble. Laughable how things change very quickly, depending on club involved.Aiiii Ferres will be delighted he can now win sommert.

The hubcap means rubbish all unless you win the treble, or at the very least one of the other trophies. I suspect you know that though.

Plus comparing what Ferres has done to Carney who has been sacked by three NRL clubs, is quite ridiculous.

The funny thing about the past is, it's the past. Everything from 1 second ago is the past, you can't just pick and choose which bits you want to count to suit your argument.

It also took us until the 1950s to catch up to you in CC wins

This seems to be a very long thread for a player you dont rate and don't want.

Ferres is a good player who did a stupid thing and it was always on the cards he would leave. Personally I'm on the fence about if he is a good signing for us. He is good and we need to look at second row as an area for improvement. Just hope he is accepted by the dressing room and settles quickly. If he does then this is good for all isn't it?

SL keeps a good player, we get a good player in a position we need and you get rid of a player it appears you don't rate.

As for GH being a hypocrite, come on, we are all hypocrites when it suits us.

Disagree with this. The hub cap is important IMO. It shows you are the most consistent team through the season and super eights. You get prize money of 100k which is exactly the same as you get for winning the challenge cup, you get a place in the world club series for the next season which in turn brings more revenue to the club with ticket sales for that game, you get a home play off game against the lowest ranked team, which again brings more revenue into the club with ticket sales and you get a trophy out of it.

Re: Brett Ferres joins Sydney Roosters : Sat Jan 09, 2016 10:20 am  

I wouldn't have been shouting about it if Leeds had just won the hubcap last season. I would have been thoroughly disappointed. As it is one third of the treble however, and we already had the CC, it was important to win. Without going on to win the GF though, that home tie is irrelevant really.

said to be a six figure fee involved

giants in no rush to spend, will do on the right player(s)

Re: Brett Ferres joins Sydney Roosters : Tue Jan 12, 2016 7:56 pm  

Ferres is reported to have said "It (his move to Leeds) is the Giants loss", whilst he is probably correct, it would have been nice if he could have apologised to the fans for causing this loss in the first place !!
