[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 924087, member: 56232"] Ford is MUCH better than Farrell when we get on the front foot, they aren't even comparable. When we are struggling there isn't much between them. Farrells game management from 10 isn't that different to Ford's and most of what he offers is more physicality in defence and attitude. A Teo-Tuilagi midfield is good if everyone utilised it properly but it's more likely we would revert to the Johnson era crash ball centre resulting in our wings being left out of the game (arguably some of our best players) and we would be closed down very easily. I think Ford-Farrell as 10-12 is still our best option as I think what we lose having Teo at 12 is more than what we gain with Farrell at 10. Teo is supposed to offer a strong crash ball option but he really doesn't. [/QUOTE]
