Quote: Andy Gilder "Is that a downside to changing dummy half midway through the game?
It doesn't impact so much on Saints because Roby offers a different type of threat to Cunningham, but does changing dummy half (and changing delivery style of the pass, decision making etc) during the course of a game really bring more benefits than downsides?'"
100% agree with you.
It is not a Diskin put down. But Buderus is by far the superior of the two hookers. And since neither is an impact hooker, we end up with the scenario where the change is effecting the team.
There is most definately a massive reduction in any momentum we have when the change takes place. And probably would, as you are probably suggesting, even if it was the other way round, i.e. Buderus subbing.
