When Conlon came on we were 2-0 up. The threat was three attackers against two defenders i.e Murdoch & Edwards who had both had a good game. We had the capability to hold and play the ball on the floor (J Mullin & Miles had shown during the game that they can play on the deck). Paul Mullin should have been sent to mark Conlon in defence (remember we're 2-0 up, we don't need to score again we just need to stop them scoring and there's only 10 mins to go) When we win the ball instead of lumping it forward we just need to give it to the ball players and encourage them to keep it as long as they can , wind the clock down , frustrate 'em. Good in retrospect, eh? It's nothing to do with Proctor. We left ourselves open. As someone has said they threw everything at us and we didn't have an answer.
