I do not really see anyone pushing Chan, Ferres or the 4 main props down the pecking order.'"
I would hope Ferguson will be pushing these two for their spot, though maybe Ferres being vice captain means he almost gets picked automatically? I'm not sure. A fully fit Ta'ai might also push these two.
Put Ferguson at 11 or 12 and he is a different player altogether.
How would Cording or Fairbank go if they were playing on an edge? I would imagine they'll be much more dangerous than just running up the middle as a third prop.
