Screw the cap,its held our sport back for to long,perfect example of a player being available and the rules stop him from staying in our sport

The salary cap that has held us back since the mighty Wigan brought the game to it's knees due to their overspending and without which, RL would be even more marginalised than it is now: CRAZY

Ferres is only available because of his off field antics and one assumes that he will continue to be paid by Huddersfield until someone comes in for him.

Great player but, if the rumours are correct, there wont necessarily be a mad rush to sign him.

I see Ferres I in the papers again this week. Nothing new so far as I can see.

Re: Brett Ferres : Tue Dec 22, 2015 5:42 pm  

Why what's he do done now?

For me it's a personal issue between Huby and Ferres.
If Giants want to sack him for it I think they'll find it hard.
I can't see any other team having a problem with him.

What he did isn't nice but it affected his and Huby's family. No one else.
The outrage is a bit over the top imho.

It messes with team spirit. Team mates are also mates.
Try sleeping around with a colleagues wife at work and see how many want to work with you.

They maybe professionals but they are human and keeping him as good as he is could do more damage. It would make for easy sledging from opposition teams.

This. If there's 1 main point other clubs should take from Leeds success over the last 10+ years it's that team spirit and having the right ethic and mentality is vital.
Unless Huby can totally forgive and forget the issue with Ferres then unfortunately for Hudds Ferres has to move on. And let's face it it's highly unlikely and completely understandable that Huby won't get along with Ferres.

It's not fair on Huddersfield really, but just one of those things. It's one of those situations where Huddersfield deserve a decent transfer fee but unfortunately probably won't get one.

Correct. For the sake of team spirit at the Giants Ferres has to go.

Re: Brett Ferres : Sat Dec 26, 2015 9:05 am  

The Giants players refused to play alongside Ferres after it came out about what he'd done. He won't play for the club again.
