Quote ="Exeter Rhino"Gotcha is right that a lot of the penalties given away through Ferres' indiscipline do often seem to be more costly than those made by others. I'm sympathetic to Marty's idea that Ferres often makes a solid contribution compared to others in the team, but a lot of this is undone by his poor discipline. Someone like JJB has consistently given penalties away throughout his career, but that's mainly because of things like fatigue and playing the game to the limit. With Ferres you get the sense that he's often more interested in niggle than getting the job done. Ryan Bailey was a master of winding up opposition players and winning penalties (also Ablett, to a lesser degree), but too often Ferres plays dumb. It's a huge shame because he's clearly sorted his weight out in the off-season, and if he just plays to the best of his abilities and ditches the naughty stuff we might see more of what the coaching staff see in him at training etc.'"
With you on the Ferres always wanting to niggle.
My biggest downer however with him is that we spent and continue to spend an awful lot of money on someone who was supposed to be an international quality player. Since arriving at leeds he has been at best an average player and I believe his work ethic and attitude is poor.
