It might also work in our favour as it`s the last year of his contract and he will certainly be wanting to extend that or at least put himself in the shop window for other clubs in SL.
As long as he can stay fit he should be in the 17 most weeks.

I think we are light in the front row this year, especially with Garbutt gone. If you look at the balance of the side, having a back row of Ferres, Ward and Merrin stiffens the pack up considerably. With Cam Smith featuring as back up (he now has some fantastic players and coach to learn from in his position), we're looking okay there. I'd have Ferres starting because I think he's too high profile a player not to be - if he's not a first choice back rower then I'd rather ship him on and give a young lad the chance. If he's on the bench, well what makes him value as compared to Ablett, JJB, possibly Cuthbo, Donaldson, maybe now Sutcliffe... ?
I'd like to see him cut the penalties out of his game - he plays aggressive which is fine, but he's a bit like JJB at giving mindless penalties away in crap situations which drives me bonkers.
