A blind man on a galloping horse could see that JJB was shot just after half time. Why he was left on the field thereafter is anybody's guess. The same would apply to leaving Burrow and Mullally sitting on the bench until after the game had gone. Whilst I can't really say it would have made much of a difference, the very least the coach can do is throw the flaming dice.
I am confident the Burrow move would have made a difference, and not in hindsight. Despite as poor as we were, we were the dominant team up to the 50 minute mark. Despite being dominant we were not executing and making errors, it needed a change. Quite a few of us were calling that the game was crying out for Burrow to come on within that first 10 minutes of the second half.
Instead, we got a decent try dissalowed, and the players wallowed in their own self pity, and within a short period after the game was beyond us. Suddenly Huddersfield were the dominant team.
I am not as convinced Mullally would have made a difference, other than spelling tired legs, but you would still think fresher legs is better than not.
