No player has more impact on tactics and winning or losing than the flyhalf. So if you have a controlled experiment.... by which I mean situations with or without a particular 10 and the rest of the team stays basically the same.....you have a basis for reaching some tentative conclusions. 

 

 

The tentative conclusion is Frans at flyhalf finds a way to win.

" Most Super 15 teams score up to double that number of tries per season."
Really... A nice statement that hangs in the air, without any evidence...
That means the average must then be 84 then? So let's test the statement

Number of tries by the mid-placed (7th) team per year (1st placed team in brackets)
2008 - 34 (53) nope - not 84
2009 - 36 (50) nope - not 84
2010 - 31 (38) nope - not 84
2011 - 40 (52) nope - not 84
2012 - 40 (58) nope - not 84
2013 - 41 (54) nope - not 84
2014 - 42 (60) nope - not 84

Bulls team rankings in terms of tries scored COMPARED to other teams...

2008 - 8th
2009 - 2nd
2010 - 1st
2011 - 7th
2012 - 4th
2013 - 6th

2014 - 15th (without Morne)
2015 - 6th (so far)

And then you miss the other COMPARISON
69% (in 2008 - 2013) vs 52% so far (in 2014 and 2015)

The_Truth the difference is Morne has always played with a settled team a part from in 2012, and even then there were replacements with experience.
There's so many outside factors and contexts you are missing that I can not, for the life of me, be bothered to list. Seeing as you were too oblivious to realise them the first time you posted those [stupid] statistics I'll just make you aware that there are contexts that render your argument useless.

I do not find that statistic surprising - they had a top performance year by players like Pollard and Hougaard - while others played  a major role in ball protection and recovery at breakdown situations - which in itself can add impetus to attacking play if the recoveries are efficient and quick enough.
