Would he be missed? ...NO!! IMO has brought little worthy of comment.

Is he anymore a liability than JJB has been throughout his career? or that Ablett is most weeks? or for that matter Bailey when he was here?

I think Ferres is unlucky at times. I've certainly seen him pinged this season for things that other players have spent 80 minutes getting away with. He does appear to have something of a target on his back with some officials, Thaler in particular.

He's an abrasive character and a bit of a WUM on the field, in much the same way Ablett is. Given we don't get any of that from our front-row any more it's nice to see a back-rower prepared to have a dig and get under people's skins.

I think Ablett has vastly improved his discipline over the last few years but I was never a fan of the niggly stuff he used to get up to. I don't think JJB should be classed with Ferres or Bailey (the latter I couldn't really give to hoots about).

He is far more obvious and gives them away in crucial sets of play compared to any other player

It wasn't exactly the niggle I was referring to, but more the annoying penalties.
