50k asking price. Leeds, Salford and Hull FC all have offers on the table. Also, 50k is the amount Leeds offered FC for Westerman.

Definitely prefer ferres than westerman, but if it comes to a bidding war Salford will win, it all depends whether ferres wants to move to another level at Leeds or just take the money.

Like being able to pick up a Ferrari and a Ford Cortina for the same price.

50k for Ferres is an absolute steal, regardless of recent transgressions.

Honestly can't see why we wouldn't take a punt. JJB is done, I reckon, but his presence and voice is vital for 2016. Ward has a serious injury and should be given as long as possible to recover. Delaney is covered in more bandages than a mummy, and Ablett cannot continue playing 35 games a season. There is no "real" reason why we shouldn't pay 50k for Ferres.

For that price we should definitely go for him. Salford will throw more wages his way probably but we not only offer the chance of trophies (he could win a WCC within 3 games of joining us for a start) but you'd feel he'd hurt his International chances moving to Salford and playing in a team struggling to avoid the bottom 4.

It's obvious all three teams could manage 50k to sign him.
The deal braker will be what Ferres can get out of it.
Does he go somehwere to try and win trophies or does he go somewhere for the money and say this team are going places?
Having said that the Hull pack looks pretty good this year.
They would be pretty pleased with themselves getting Ferres to replace Westerman and still have another £100 k in their pockets.

Ferres has realistically 4/5 years tops left at the top of the game.In that time neither Hull or Salford are likely to seriously challenge for honours.They offer nothing on we do outside cash not to mention we are on his doorstep.If im Ferres and i find out Leeds are in for me after what has gone down i sign whatever GH puts infront of my face and thank the lord.

Just what I would add to the pack. With JJB out for a while and at the very end of a fantastic career, Delaney really showing the wear and tear, Ward recovering from knee reconstruction and Achurch crap, it's a no brainier.

Its a genuine fire sale at 50k.

Ferres is already on top money, so it isn't a question of chasing the money. I would guess wherever he goes he will have to take a cut on current earnings.

He would certainly be an improvement to the squad for us, in an area we need. Would have rather had Westerman for all round cover, but that went,band not often you get other opportunities to make improvements so easily.
