Except in the Millward era (a) we had better players, and (b) we had more experienced players. It's easy to coach a team full of talent like ours was back then. It's a tougher job coaching what we have now, especially given the high number of young players we have had to field this season.

But under Simmons we can, once again, score from deep. We can pass to our edges. When we have managed a couple of weeks without half a dozen players limping off injured, we have actually had pace and accuracy in our passing. We look fit, trim and determined, even when we play poorly.

Give me what we have now to what we had under Potter any day of the week. Assuming Leon actually said what the old troll is saying he said (and I am skeptical), if he doesn't like it then I won't cry if he goes.

His defense is massively underrated. He came up with two or three try saving tackles against Exiles at the weekend.

Wello for us just get there anymore. How many tries do you see where he's arriving at the scene just as the try scorer is getting up to celebrate? Love the guy but it makes sense to think about the future.

what about tom makinson to fullback?

All the ones he's had a hand in creating. And he's scored a few himself!
