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 !!

I'm sure Ferres knows who he should be apologising to, and I don't think he owes the fans an apology.

Really?
In the article in this weeks League Weekly, Ferres seemed to suggest it was purely the Giants decision to let him go, implying that somehow, him turning out for Leeds this season was the Giants fault and they had an option to keep him!
No-one is to blame for all of this apart from Ferres and his partner in crime and the sooner that penetrates his thick skull, the better.
He owes apologies to a lot of people including very many Giants supporters who idolised him and who are now through no fault of their own, being forced to watch him turn out for and strengthen the team of their closest rivals all for a cut-price fee.
I know I wouldn't mind an apology.
Fat chance.
Much as I rate the bloke as a player, as a Man, he clearly leaves a lot to be desired.

There is, as ever, more than one side to a story.

Unless you happen to be one of the parties intricately involved I would suggest you, like most of us, know nothing more than what has been reported or written on free for all forums like this. Most of which is just hearsay.

It's not a pretty situation but the damage is far more reaching than a few disgruntled fans. Let it go and move on is the best policy, that's what ferres is doing.
