If we are scoring when a player is off the field, and not when he's on, the player is making a negative impact is he not?

In respect to 1 game?

The player is having a negative impact in that game, yes?

So when we bring on a defensive player, we dont score but he saves a try another player wouldnt have stopped he had a negative impact??

Also Tommy Lee played a cracking ball out to Graham Horne which was dropped - it was a decent ball we could could have scored from. Hardly his fault what happens after he passes the ball..

You need to brush up on your critical thinking skills.

You've made a causal link where there is no actual evidence to suggest one exists. You might as well have said that if the wind was blowing when we scored but not when we didn't then the lack of wind had a detrimental effect on the team. Or picked any other random factor for that matter.

Fair play to tommy, he ran in very hard and played well enough. As long as we don't expect him to dictate play, that's been his/the clubs downfall.

But you arent going to get a squad player that offers you more than decent that takes up a small chunk of cap space etc. We have 7 or 8 injuries so TL gets a game and doesnt let anyone down, he can also play numerous positions. He wouldnt have got a game had we not had injuries, hense he is a squad player. Dont know what more we could want to be honest. He does a job for us.
