Didn't Sherlock leave himself without being pushed?
Some say yes, others say no.
Based on last night's performance he's the best forward in Cork, but
I don't think Clon. gave him the required attention.
Expect Shanley or O Donovan welded to him in 3 weeks time in Bandon and then we'll know if he's still intercounty standard.

There'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.

Agreed. I’m hearing today that Shanley will pick him up next time, in which case he’ll be in for a very different 60 minutes.

Rightly or wrongly Sherlock turned his back on Cork because he didn’t fancy fighting for his place. Maybe a new manager will give him another go, but it sets an awkward precedent.
Why would any fella who’s sitting on the bench not just pack it for a year or two in the expectation that the door will always be open.

The inbreeding from this fella and his ilk really holds Cork Football back.

Can I get a copy of the new rules and a couple of videos posted to you?
Sure 99% of footballers didn’t want to play that old football… pure muck

If you think sherlock has 70 min in him then best of luck to you.I say he best for 25 min in the 2nd half af game.

Agreed. He’s carrying a stone and doesn’t have the pace to win his own ball, that being said though he’s good enough to be a pivotal championship player.

Hes by some distance the best option we have to come on and a kick couple of 2 pointers and turn a game on its head.

Carrying a stone no pace and yet scored 18 points.

Sherlock highlights, some great scores to be fair to him. Needs to be involved with Cork next year.

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

Sherlock 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.

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
