Not for me, can't see a place for him just now... Wardle is playing well at 2nd row, Connor & Murphy are starting to gel and ukuma is on fire ....he will have to be patient for me, like others have said he hasn't had such a good season and would be wholly unfair on the guys who have got us into this position now.

He has to play. IF he doesn't and one of the back rowers gets injured then we will have to play Ferres in the semi-final with no games for ages under his belt. Rest one of the other lads for Leeds and then we have even more competition for places in the final two games.

I keep trying to emphasise this to people! To our club a home semi final is MASSIVE! It could be the difference between giving Koppy and Jerry a contract or not!

Doing what needs to be done and winning the GF or even runners up would be more important long term.

This game is just the bell for the last lap.

The bigger one is the one after

Ferres season should be over as far as I'm concerned. We having a winning team with a winning mentality.
But I don't have a doubt some unlucky fella will lose his place to him.
I'd be pretty annoyed if it was me.

Has he done anything in the games this season that merits a place in the team.
He's got injured twice and has let his emotions control him giving him a sending off.
He may be match fit for the final if we play him... Providing his lack of matches doesn't sabotage the semi.

It better not be Bruno who will be dropped for him. A guy who has played twice as many games (although not full 80 mins) in that time has made half as many errors, given away less penalties, and missed half as many tackles compared to ferres. Those things are going to be important in the high intensity games where mistakes count.
So ferres might win us the game- but maybe he's just as likely to lose it for us.

To be honest I'm not sure what possible rationale could be given to bringing him back! He had a very average season in 2014 littered with injuries and suspensions! And has played very little this year, and when he has I personally haven't been impressed! Winning team, with a winning mentality at the moment! Let's keep it that way

Ferres offers a bigger attacking threat than any other forward. If fully fit i would play him. It would be unfortunate if someone misses out but i do believe he should be in our strongest 17. If there are doubts about is fitness though i would not play him.
And to those who say he had a poor 2014. In the last two seasons (2013-2014) he has played in 51 Super league games scored 24 tries and had 26 assists. Last season only Brough had more try assists.

Whether or not Brett Ferres plays is up to Paul Anderson, who will no doubt have considered the pros and cons. If Brett IS selected, I hope all the negative comments on this thread will spur him on to have a blinder!

im concerned about wardle and connor in defence, i dont think its good enough at the moment down that side , big games coming up too against some quality centres they could get found out but i hope not

You have to be kidding worst defence on Friday was Leroy for the try Yeaman scored !! Also Grix who was nearest man from the grubber we conceded from !!

We risked Bailey to rest Robbo on Friday so why not Hughes to rest Ferres to play ??

Also whilst Baileys dummy half play wasn't good he made 20 tackles not bad for a player out for so long then played in an unfamiliar position !!

Maybe because Ferres and Hughes play different sides of the ruck?

Anyway I guess we'll see on Friday if we rest anyone or not

I'm sure Wardle could play right as could Ferres might throw Leeds a wobbly but it's the boss's decision I'm in rare agreement with Jools we missed Robbo on Friday and Eorl.

im not judging the defence of those two on just hulls game.

robbo pulled up with a hamstring problem late in the day so wasnt risked

ferres could go to loose forward if he gets picked to play, would be very harsh on lawrence though, harsh on anyone really but andersons decision so we will see
