On the basis of the above perhaps trying to run the legs off them is not a bad tactic but on this occasion we let them get too far ahead or didnt have the firepower to catch them up?

Further to my wee brainwave this morning, I broadly agree with your points but I reckon.....
Nel would/could potentially double his salary (maybe more) & has 3 / 4 years to augment his pension, I would be surprised if he was here next season.
Taylor would be a pretty much guaranteed starter @ Edinburgh & with Liam Williams joining Saracens next season he may struggle to do that where he is.

I think it largely depends on what Glasgow do, but we should be trying really hard for Huw Jones and if he's not available check about Nick Grigg who's always played well for Glasgow where he's probably splitting time with Bennett/Jones next year but he would be guaranteed 13 and star at Edinburgh leading to more chances with Scotland.
If Jones and Bennett end up in England or France it's a different story and we're back to taking a punt on a Super Rugby player or hoping Galbraith/Taylor are ready.

There is a higher chance of neither Jones or Bennet being at Glasgow than both, that just won't happen. I don't thinkGrigg is better than The options we have currently. He looks good but is usually working with quick ballon the front foot. I think Rasolea, Burkeigh, Dean and Allan wouldtoo.

There is a lot still wrong with Edinburgh, but the style of play is more entertaining, they are showing flexibility, a lot of skill in flashes, and some pride and guts. Though they are a long, long way from the finished article I'd say the changes so far have been positive.
