Why do people say every week that Ferres to be left out when he clearly wont be? He obviously does a better job for the team than given credit for.

You watch fans at a game and if Hurrell fir example knocks on nobody says anything but if Ferres does they go into a total meltdown. Just watch them. When opposition score 35m from where Ferres is its still his fault.

I thought him and Sutcliffe was pretty solid on Friday. Interesting that for a spell in the 2nd half Ferres was defending in the middle of the park so must've moved to prop or loose.

I will wager a 50p bet with anyone that Sutcliffe and Ferres will be the starting 2nd row on Fri subject to any injuries. Any takers?

It's more the silly penalties he gives away than the never going to happen offloads that annoy people with Ferres.

He will start with Sutcliffe, but neither offer anything in attack. Liam and Callum Smith both stop any momentum we build up. I hope all 3 are gone by the start of next season.

Not sure who Callum Smith is to be honest with you. Did he play in the game at HT?

Ferres is the new scapegoat, we always have at least one

Ferres a scapegoat?

Hence the Preview option I should've used!

Erm sorry but the guy has stolen a wage, a big one at that, for 4 years with us. I for one defended him early on and thought he would get back to something like his England form but he has been mostly a liability.

I think the thing with Ferres is that he just doesn’t seem that bothered. When he makes a mistake or gives away a penalty he doesn’t bust a gut to make up for it. When you factor in what he’s likely to be paid, the whole thing represents very poor value for money.

The thing with ferres is he has never been the player for us he was at Hudds. We have never got to see the player we thought we were getting.

He is obviously doing something the coaches like but I don't know what it is.

Regardless he will play. It's as sure as death and taxes.

Think ferres is starting to perform really well in defence (stats would be interesting) which is key.. but still not the player he was in attack.

I would be very shocked if so, he has been turd for 2 years now (really not sour grapes), let's be fair father time has caught up with him, and to fight a disease like sepsis takes its toll on the strongest of anyone.
Was really surprised at the swap, as Lunt hasn't played much competitive rugby and when he did he looked like an old man, a shadow of himself, he was fantastic for us before he fell ill.

Wish the kid all the best, he is an honest kid who tries his best for his team

Singleton one match suspension. Straight swap for Peteru IMO

Or Oledzki?

What for? The fractionaly late hit that wasn't even a penalty?
