Game Changers

Seriously, please, Club, stop calling subs this. They aren't
game changers they are replacements. Substitutes. Whatever you
like. They will not change the game except as a result of fresh
legs. And even then I don't think anyone could accuse Lambert of
changing a game in any positive way.
Stop it. Stop it now, and kill it with fire.

Lambo is great. Leave Lambo alone. Also, who cares what they're
called? There are bigger things going on in the world - Burt
Reynolds died today and a Kuwaiti fishmonger was recently closed
down for sticking googly eyes on fish to make them appear
fresher. I hope I've given you a fresher perspective on life.

Gustard is very much into psychology and the mental side of
rugby. He introduced the wolf pack at Saracens. He introduced
finishers at England. And now he’s introduced “game changers” at
Quins. If he thinks there is a benefit - even a 1% benefit - of
describing the bench as that because, in his view, it makes the
players feel more valuable / relied upon, then it is fine with
me.
Let’s give him a chance to stamp himself on the club. And let’s
just embrace it. Is it really that big a deal?
Last week I was so impressed by the team. I really feel positive
for the first time in a long time. Bring on the game changers

Disagree about the "fresh legs" comment. Replacements/ subs come
on and affect the game all the time and not because they are
just fresh. I agree with the above, who gives a monkies what
they are called

I do. It's naff and embarrassing. But, y'know. That's just my
opinion.

You think that was as a direct result of the subs being called
Game Changers? Or at least in part?
I don't. IIRC The players who made the most impact were there
from the start. And to be honest I don't think the squad give
two hoots what they are referred to, they'll play as hard as
they can regardless - and especially to be selected for the
starting XV next time out. It's a label, pure and simple, and
one that, if we're not careful, will have other clubs laughing
at us. It was bad enough Eddie J calling the England subs
"Finishers". Jesus Eddie, they're subs, not Finishers. To call
them Finishers suggests that you have no faith in your starting
XV making it through a full 80, either by dint of stamena or
ability.
But again, that's just my opinion.

It doesn’t bother me personally. And Lambert is a stalwart for
Harlequins and he does well.
At the end of the day it’s just a name Gustard has chosen for
his “subs”. It’s no big deal in my eyes, I’m more bothered about
Harlequins playing great rugby/winning than what Gustard wants
to call our bench. I’m sure the players either like the name or
if not just see past it. They have bigger things to focus on,
like changing the game for example

I couldn't resist looking up stamena but even I was
surprised...:)
