Sherlock kind of reminds me of Masters from Nemo those years ago gifted club footballer could win games and counties on his own but lacks the pace for senior inter county
I can understand the comparison but I think he’s better than that tbh. Masters had a superb Nemo side around him with multiple other IC players around him.Sherlock kind of reminds me of Masters from Nemo those years ago gifted club footballer could win games and counties on his own but lacks the pace for senior inter county
He's a good sub coming on when play loosens up at inter county levelThere's no doubt Sherlock is intercounty standard, and the new rules play to him.
He's not the marquee forward at that level some have him down as, but he's potentially out best one.
He was poor in Killarney last year was never in the game when he came .,it's the loop from the left corner is his gameSherlock isnt up to 70 min that is the issue.
Go back to Tyrone game last year when he started he was v poor.When used as a sub ie.Mayo match 2023 and Kerry last year he is very effective but Sherlock doesnt want to be a sub he wants to start and he not up two starting so what do you do then with him.
Masters was easily getting 5.5 points a game when he was playing for Cork also but when the crunch when to shove he wasn't at the races..very similar imo sweet boot but need much more than that unfortunatelySherlock has averaged roughly 5.5 points per appearance for Cork. While some of those are frees, they still need to be kicked. An area we struggled in this year. Some of those appearances were as a sub also.
To be honest it's like someone tailored the new rules to suit him. I think the scoring average would go up to at least 7 or 8 per game. His game has never been about pace.
His ability to kick 2 pointers is unmatched in the county.
Maybe at the start but I remember Masters winning a County on his own against the Dohenys one year similar to something sherlock would do. Classy footballers but it's club level huge step up lads. Even more so now.I can understand the comparison but I think he’s better than that tbh. Masters had a superb Nemo side around him with multiple other IC players around him.
Sherlock has been shooting the lights out in the club championship year on year and should IMO be given the chance to do the same at IC level, especially with the new rules

But one thing doesn't change the legend of a player grows when he no longer plays with the team.To be fair what Masters could and couldn't do has zero relevance to Sherlock.
The game has also changed significantly.
Around here only if he is from the Brewery TownBut one thing doesn't change the legend of a player grows when he no longer plays with the team.
