Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[leeside_rebel]

Niall.Mc would be eaten alive by that Limerick half back line. His game was around trying to dominate his direct opponent physically and when he couldn't do that he was usually poor. In fact Cork 99-05 v Limerick would have been equivalent of us playing Kerry in hurling now, we wouldn't have a hope.

You're comparing different eras really even though it doesn't feel that long ago, but it's 20 years or so which is long enough with how the game has evolved.
It's impossible to compare players who played at different times. So we'll never know if Niall Mac would have done well and adapted his game if he was a present day inter county forward.
Like most people that saw Christy Ring will say he was the greatest ever but the game his generation played wouldn't pass for junior B these days . Some of the games they showed from the 90's on TG4 during Covid were horrendous to watch back but back in the 1990s we thought they were unbelievable games

Wonder if Cunningham's injury and missing most of the league will hamper chances of him breaking into the team and having an impact come championship.

I think he is back for the Offaly game, a lot of guys going to be in the same boat as him at that game.

In a bit if bother in court too with his bad driving & no insurance

 

[Hurlywurly]

Had no idea about that, nor do I give an actual f*** about it either.

Back off to the Langers Forum with ya boy

Not very nice of someone to be posting a players private life or misfortunes up on media. Their business and not ours!

Whatever about different views on hurling & ability as that's just with the belief of wanting the best for Cork.

This is something to laugh at?

I have not posted on here for a long time because of the ridiculous nature this place has been for a while. But I will say this when someone brings up something like a traffic offence against a player from a club whom maybe they don’t like that’s a new low . If you want to talk about hurting then I love people opinions but this nonsense about attacking players from our own county is embarrassing and ridiculous.

That post should be deleted immediately and other posters shouldn’t quote it.

Hurling chat is fine even as ridiculous as some of it is everyone is entitled to an opinion.
