Not judging simply by stats or points for ect but do you think the attack has improved in 2012??
Just a few things I have noticed include more runners for the halves, more 2nd phase play & more playing whats in "front of you" than before.
Also the enthasis of winning the war at the play the ball.
Sure we all know too well about the wrestles & understand the importance of holding down the player when tackling to stop momentum when defending.
On the reverse side in a couple of games , notably when we have put on big half time scores, the urgency of the attacking player getting to his feet to win the play the ball has been at a new level.
The structures may not be as well organised in 2012 at times, but with the ability of the Seaeagles players, that licence to play a bit more ab lib can create much needed opportunities against well organised defence.
Always takes time to gel to new attacking formulas but I like where we are going, its entertaining, unpredictable & will only get better with time.
