Cork Hurlers - Part 2

Mellerick is too small for a half back. I agree with some posters who suggest he could play as a man marker. He’d probaly want to bulk up a good bit but definitely dosent lack aggression and work rate.
 
Won a Munster in '06 I'd say as a sub. Don't think he ever played a championship game but not certain, was on panel for 2 or 3 years I think
Yeah unused sub in 2006. Opted out in 2007 ahead of the league along with Mickey OConnell and Wayne Sherlock. Back on the panel then in 2009 and played 1 or 2 league games. As someone else said, fine fullback, just lacked pace.
 
Millerick is versatile and could play anywhere from 2 to 9. I think a man marking job in defence is how we should use him....bit like Brian Murphy of bride rovers used to do...

I hate singling out lads but I just wonder am I missing something with Millerick. I just haven’t seen anything much from him the last few years to suggest that he could man mark a big player out of a game.
I know to be fair to him he was played out of position this year and has struggled with injuries but I’m still a bit unsure of him and he seems to struggle against physically strong players. I hope I’m wrong because we really need a man marker.
 
On the hurling front, Cork, as has been documented in recent days, begin their Division 1 campaign with a home fixture against three-in-a-row All-Ireland champions Limerick on Saturday evening, February 4.

Cork will have two further home games at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, against Westmeath in Round 3 on Sunday, February 26 and Wexford in Round 4 on Sunday, March 12.

The Westmeath fixture (1pm throw-in) will form part of a double-header along with the footballers’ clash with Ray Dempsey’s Limerick (3pm throw-in).

The Cork hurlers’ two away outings will bring Pat Ryan’s charges to Pearse Stadium on Sunday, February 12 and to Ennis on the final day of Group A action on Sunday, March 19.

Was thinking the same thing myself. I was putting it down to "having a bad year" due to injuries & loss of form. In his defence he's been moved around a lot and that can be very unsettling. I think it's a real make or break year for him though.

I think plenty of lads of this standard around the county. He hasn’t done enough to be considered a definite starter on Cork team. Had average club year also.
