I disagree. If you have known him a long time you will know him for more than just someone who had an affair.
It's not like he was shagging all his friend's WAGs. It's one relationship involving one of his friends.

And I would imagine if Huby was to play any different against Ferris than he normally does, Leeds would take advantage of that. I'd definitely play Ferris.

But that's just the problem isn't it. By it's very nature an affair is built on lies, dishonesty, disloyalty and deception. Nobody knows what else about that person is built on the same principles. He may well have been having it away with other people - just because he has been exposed (excuse the pun) once, doesn't mean he will suddenly confess to any other immoral activities he has been getting up to (again, excuse the pun).

It also doesn't mean he has been "up to" anything else. Perfectly decent people can do a stupid thing, it doesn't alter their personality.
I agree Leeds or anyone signing him have to be careful and have to be diligent in checking his personality. But Leeds do that pretty well with everyone they sign, they ensure (as much as is possible) that a signing is going to fit in with the group.

So if Leeds are happy with him then I'm happy with us signing him.

Brilliant addition in a position we needed strengthening imo.

Ditching Bailey was a masterstroke. The South Stand won't be hard pushed to come up with a song for Ferres now

I'm no specialist on employment law here but I wonder what Huddersfields position would be if Ferres stayed for 2016. Would they have to play him? I'd imagine they'd have to have him train in some fashion even if it's not with the other players. I'm just thinking constructive dismissal-wise.

IIRC, years ago Neil James took Leeds RL to court because they wouldn't play him in the first team and wouldn't release him from his contract, he lost the case on both counts. Just because you are contracted doesn't mean you are guaranteed to play.

Fantastic signing. He's a brilliant rugby league player and that is all that matters. As far as I'm concerned, as a Rhinos fan, until he does something that effects either his own performance or the teams performance ON THE FIELD, he deserves to wear the blue and amber

I'm defo in the GH camp. If he thinks it's right and Mac thinks it's right al back em. I didn't think we would sign him but he's a rhino now so we need to get behind him. He's one of us now.
