Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[Pooman]

Colin Walsh is nowhere near a Senior IC hurler this year or the next few years. He's big but has absolutely zero hurling. Not knocking the lad but i just dont see what others see in him. Mullins will defiantly be capable of a step up but i fear once he is finished this year with 20's he will be lost after that. He has no college hurling to help him progress. Alot of players these days once they hit 19/20 have fitzgibbon hurling to help their progression over the next 2/3 years. If they dont have that they need to rely on their club and playing Seandun junior league wont help him progress, but he is a serious prospect for Cork. Like i said before, its a case of when will Cunningham play senior IC. I like the look of this lad. big strong with plenty of hurling. will be exciting to see him playing senior IC hurling maybe before the summer is out.

Pity the Intermediate Inter-County is gone. Would've been ideal for someone like Mullins.

Collins Walsh is just another footballer they will try and make a hurler out of. Its the Cork way.

Have ye the team Picked ? May as well give my opinion. P Collins (seems to be no other option) , N O'Leary , D Cahalane, S O'Donoghue, T O Mahony, C Joyce , R Downey, T O'Connell, B Roche, D Fitz, C Lehane, D Dalton. S Harnedy, P Horgan, L Meade

Obviously the forwards would be fluid in their movement. I'd like to give Tim O' Mahony a go, he is more dynamic that Millerick and will offer more going forward.

Mullins looks ready for the jump next year. He's very tigerish in the rucks, and is a brilliant tackler, as well as being a fabulous hurler.

Having said that, we've said this about Ethan Twomey, Brian O'Sullivan and Sam Quirke in midfield and they haven't played a minute in championship this year - which is disappointing.

Your last sentence relates to my point, Mullins is tough and tigerish but he is less likely than even those players to win a ball in his own half-back line and bang over a couple of points in a game, he is good to carry and prise openings as well as what you stated.

Have ye named it ? Not at all, as I've said that's just my team. Not what I think it will be.

These are all very young lads and we need to be patient with them, their time will come.

Not every player is like Joyce who just seamlessly fitted into senior inter county hurling.

 

[Yuppp]

You’re right, a massive loss to the u20 footballers this year which he would have been much more benefit to.
