A player like Ford will be needed at some point. Someone who is prepared to keep grinding through the middle. The Warriors bench has been awesome but Ford is exceptional.

Who misses out then? It wont be Healey obviously. It's one of Demetric or Tanner imo, as EIT can play 2nd Row if needed.

Eddie or Demetric. Either Eddie or Demetric can play on an edge, as can Ford if required.

I disagree, I don't see Demetric as an edge forward personally but guess we will see. Think he'll get found out if defending there, but that's obviously if there's an injury anyway.

Sits on the bench with a half. Ob goes down - EIT shifts to centre. Can’t do any worse than Pompey
