Top try scorers each year, most try bonus points, Manu, Alesana, Scott Hamilton, Thompstone all in the top try scorers lists of the various seasons.
I’m not happy with how we are playing at the moment but you can’t rewrite history to suit the argument now.
We played some great stuff across these seasons ran in tries from all areas and were good to watch in the main playing a forward driven game with backs capable of individual bits of magic but also cohesive as a unit with AA, YBY & TF controlling midfield.
Not unlike a certain current Exeter team who are consistently bandied round (and not unreasonably) as the team we should emulate in style.
Guess why? Cause it’s similar to how we used to play when we were successful.
Why can’t MOC do it now? Maybe he’s not a head coach, maybe he’s not got the players, maybe he’s not got or had the coaches or maybe he needs more time.
I am guessing it’s all of the above to greater or lesser degrees.
