[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 938578, member: 56232"] I don't think Farrell defends better than Ford. He will occasionally put in a decent hit but is far more likely to give away a penalty, is on the verge of being carded for his repeated no arms and frequently falls of a tackle completely. What you gain with the odd highlight reel hit you easily lose with the other issues. Ford may concede ground but he doesn't completely **** up in the way Farrell does. I'd argue Farrells defensive lapses have cost us far more territory than Ford being driven backwards. People seem to forget just how much ground a penalty or missed tackle cost the team. [/QUOTE]
