We have heard your opinion on Solly and what we had going into the season a few times now, it hasn't changed from the last time you said it all!!
Out of interest, how many tries do you expect from a pro 12 10/season? How many has Weir, or Russell for that matter averaged over their careers?
I wouldn't have thought 2 was a bad average for a 10.

I picked a few players at random:
Dan Biggar: 18 tries, 118 starts = 0.15 tries/start
Finn Russell: 3 tries, 25 starts = 0.12 tries/start
Duncan Weir: 5 tries, 51 starts = 0.10 tries/start
Paddy Jackson: 7 tries, 62 starts = 0.11 tries/start
Jason Tovey: 13 tries, 111 starts = 0.12 tries/start
So you seem to be right.

We don't need a Russell or a Sexton right away, a Carty or a Tovey would be an improvement.
