Any news on his injury and also if we are planning to extend his contract?

Another not on the current 2021 list. Surely we try and resign him? He showed more in that broncos game than some of the other backs did all year

I wouldn't be surprised if we had a min wage (or close to) contract offered and he/manager just seeing if they can find any other offers.
Our squad has the minimum number of registered players required at this stage so no rush to lock anyone (him, Sorensen, Vasquez etc) in before we need to.

Unless another offer comes through he may show up at preseason in a few weeks even if he isn't formally in top 30 or dev squad at that stage with expectation to sign before season starts.

Could also be something around the Xerri issue with Ferris told we can give him a little more money once we shake off Xerri so he will just wait for that.

Good news, surprise it's a dev contract, maybe he'll get a bump up once we jetison the drug cheat

Suprised no one else has come knocking tbh. Someone like parra who are filling their squad with nsw cup players. Thankful though as he looks like a good prospect.

Me too but feel like there's a handshake agreement to give him something better when they free up some roster spots.

Only explanation for mine, if he was on the open market surely clubs would have been keen

Excuse my ignorance, but has anyone seen much of Ferris play? Loved the way he scored that try, but with the injury that's really all I've seen. Is he worth our hype?

I remember getting all gooey over Sorro when he scored his highlight reel try way back when, so I'm trying not to get too giddy about this bloke yet!

He's certainly worth keeping and seeing what he has.

Watched a lot of him playing for the Jets and he's good. Liked everything I've seen so far.

So hard to gauge where this guy is at. He’s missed 4 of the last 6 seasons. Looks good when he is on the park though.

He must feel about ready to give up the poor fella. Fingers crossed he gets all of the injuries out of the way and has a shot at first grade fully fit.

Really disappointed for him, and hope we give him another shot. Great ambassador for the club.
