Brett Ferres

[mightyrooster]

Why is everyone talking about this Ferres guy like he's all signed up? I wouldn't believe anything the Mole or whoever claims to be in the know said. And what we need is depth at fullback and the halves not forwards.

Interesting to see that there is some lingering resentment towards Guerra. I'm of the same opinion - what he did to get fat hodgo off was not acceptable in my book. Aidan, do you want to be a bonco mate? Roosters before qld.

Resentment is not the right word for me. Let me say I have no doubt he has the ability and by now the experience, and yet I'm still waiting. After SBW left I thought he'd be the one to try to fill the void and lead but he seems to only want to be a support act. Personally I don't understand how he escapes the scrutiny from the coaching staff.

People need to get over it. It had no bearing on us. All players would do the same thing. I'm glad he did what he did. I would expect any player from any club to help one of our players get off for a semi as well. And it's funny how short a memory people have of Guerra. A bit fickle actually.

My problem with Guerra wasn't the Hodgo thing, I found that commendable.

It's that he was very poor this year. Though we said the same thing about Cordner this time last year and he was close to our best this year. Our backrowers can't seem to string two good years together. Cordner in 2014 regressed from 2013, as did Sonny. Guerra this year wasn't a patch on last year. Hopefully SST doesn't suffer the same fate, maybe it's because they're marked more rather then a lack of commitment.

I think just to switch it up we should put SST on the right side, as he is damaging on the edge, the Warriors game showed this. We can then move Guerra back to the middle where he flourished in 2014.

Yawn.
Do you recall Trent Robinson saying words to the effect of "we (the Roosters) don't play for penalties?" Do you think Guerra's stated motivation for his actions were supportive of the coach's creed? It had no bearing you say. Not then it didn't given the Roosters lost, but what about damage to credibility?

Hopefully SST had his 2nd yr syndrome in the last month of this year, really went quiet, and lost possession at crucial times. 8 interchanges will be really interesting next year, and players like guerra, cords could be the real benefactors.

The only real criticism I've seen Guerra cop is on this forum.

I am not that worried about Guerra saying he was trying to get a penalty. Everyone does it. And we should not be ashamed of it.

What we don't do is feign injury to get a penalty.

On Guerra, I was against signing him when they last did. He's expensive, a massive hog and one starting backrower too many.

If the team has no injuries to start the season it will be interesting to see if they go with Ferres on the bench or Maubs. Im thinking JWH & Napa start with SST at 13 & get replaced with Moa Liu & Evans. If they want to give Friend a spell then Maubs you would think would get the final spot but if Friend plays 80 they may try Ferres as a edge interchange. I just think Ferres will be used as he is a current English International who only recently was in the winning England team that beat NZ who where the world champs.

I think Maubs will get the gig,

But all accounts on here seem to be that JWH will miss a couple of months.

Ferres on the bench? Have we even signed him? I don't think so.

Article in the Daily Mail. Ferres slept with the wife of his best man. Has been stood down. What a classy individual. No thanks.

I guess it doesn't speak volumes for his character , but it makes you wonder if his best man was on the club board or something?
I mean, punched out and no news used to be the norm....

Either way .
