You don't start captain. Don't put runner on o donughe lack pace at 6..don't change full back line 55 miniute don't go for goals .cleary yesterday meant nothing
Cork going Portugal Tuesday

New update from Tadgh O C 😂😂
Will Cork beat three of the top Munster teams in Croker on All Ireland final day though, thats the real question. Recent history has shown its not possible for them in clutch moments especially but hopefully Ben can change that.
 
Munster impossible to call. I would be reasonably confident in calling Limerick to qualify; beyond that take your pick. I’d fancy Galway to make an all Ireland final. Overall winner coming from Munster, again.
 
Would a full back line of SOD, NOL and Millerick work?

No out and out full back but Millerick is a good sticky man-marker. Did a good job on Gillane the other night.
It depends on the opposition. None of them could compete with a Duggan for example and you could be sure they would put him in there.

Waterford would do the same with Keily and Limerick with the Bull.

However it might be suited vs Tipp when the FF will most likely be John McGrath.

I suppose it would be better to have a full back that can mark both types of players. Big decisions ahead for Ben in a few positions.

For me, when Cork play Lim, its Mellerick on Gillane, but the wing back line or center back have to cover deeper than say Eoin Downey at the weekend.

E Downey played well but look how much deeper Joyce was vs KK.

i believe that was tactical by Ben, the last thing you want to do is show your hand to your main opponent too soon.

It will be very interesting what way we line up tactically and who fills what positions come championship
