[QUOTE="Peat, post: 839041, member: 42330"] All of them apparently. I have to say that, while I like the combo and really don't want it split up the way things are, its got a really significant flaw in that neither of them are really challenging the other side ball in hand. Having the two passers available doesn't half cut up other teams at times but there's also prolonged periods where we're clearly struggling. Long term, I'm not sure whether that's sustainable and whether we don't find we *need* two guys who can run the ball. Its a pretty moot question when there's no one else but Te'o is being given the chance to start changing that tomorrow. If Te'o finishes the summer as a real starting option, we've got some real questions on our hands. The questions get even louder if, by some miracle, one of our playmaking centres finally takes off as an international player. An on form Slade basically does everything Farrell does ball in hand, only better. When this happens - and if it hasn't happened by the end of the year, we've got serious problems - the argument for only one of Ford and Farrell will be really loud barring a significant uptick by both.
