The evidence is all there. The team has regressed badly over the last couple of seasons. People - myself included - have pointed excitedly to the end of season fightbacks which appear to have earmarked us during the 'Noble era'. But I now wonder if they're more indicative of the 'Barrett era', which of course has passed.
I think Barrett is the key factor missing. Not hiding the other issues in the team, but I think if Barrett had been in the there we would have be looking at 2-3 more wins than we have now. We have zero ability to break the line when 5-10m out, oh apart from the kick to the corner for Pat.
