I think what Cork hurling needs badly is balance, a common theme running through many of the above comments. Balance between wristy hurlers and scrappers: balance between tippy tappy and long early direct ball: balance between small nippy forwards and big ball winning beasts: balance between going long and going short: balance between embracing the dark arts when necessary and being too often referred to as soft. At present we tend not to have this balance and that makes us easy to read/play against. Not saying it will be easy but we must try.
