Brett Ferres

[iCommenting on the signing Leeds Rhinos Chief Executive Gary Hetherington said, "We are delighted to have secured a player of the quality of Brett Ferres to compliment our squad for next season. Brett knows a lot of our players from the England side and has known Carl Ablett since the pair were teenagers and toured Australia with the England Academy. They know Brett and they are looking forward to having him within our group.

Firstly, I can just imagine Ferres sat in the stands giving compliments to other players in the squad. I hear he is very good a giving compliments. However, I assume Hetherington means he will complement the squad, which is far less interesting.
It is also an odd comment to make given Ferres had an affair with the wife with his 'best mate' since childhood and the bloke who was best man at his wedding. Given this, I doubt Ferres will pay much regard to knowing Carl Ablett since he was a teenager and who he once went to Australia with.
I suspect Craig Huby though he "knew Brett" - but clearly he is not as he makes out.
It will make Huddersfield v Leeds interesting next season though. What's the chances Brett is "injured" the first time that fixture comes around?

However, this comment on the BBC is even better that Hetherington'sThe 29-year-old was placed on the transfer list by the Giants last month after an internal investigation."[/i
At least one of their journalists has a sense of humour!

And not to be left out, Ferres' own bit of double-entendre"The last year has seen plenty of ups and downs for me,"[/i
Yes, Brett, it certainly has. Mostly on your best mate's wife.
