Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[North Cork]

Sorry NC - didn’t see that follow up.
Don’t think it's necessarily a case of a bunch of lads around the county being ignored (I could name a small few but it’s pointless considering that there’s definitely lads who say no thanks for whatever reason when they get the phonecall)… but moreso within the panels.

Lehane consistently played and started through a really tricky 2 year stint a while back where he couldn’t find form but stayed on the team (culminating in the Galway qf free-taking issues). TOM and Dalton were looking on at non performing lads ahead of them for periods a couple of years back. Coleman at 6 for an extra 3 months beyond the experiment failing. Even last season, kingston, TOC, Conor cahalane had poor performances that were well flagged.

It happens in pressure jobs - the higher the pressure the more conservative the approach becomes at times. I would point to Lohan as someone who has resisted that conservatism - he has brought in loads of younger lads, frequently changes tactical approach and (most interesting from a cork perspective) has moved players into different positions e.g. Conlon , who is now an all star forward and all star defender. It hasn’t all worked but his side has disrupted limerick more than anyone else in the country.

Morello.
I would certainly agree that selectors have been overly loyal to certain players over the years but I don't think I agree about better players not been given a chance.

Up until recently I think the real problem has been a lack of depth of quality hurlers in the county.

I know its a hurling topic but Colm Cooper got an all star in 2010,Kerry were knocked out in the 1/4 final,we won the league and championship got only 4 all stars and no one in the forward line.

Wtf - you been carrying that around since 2012. Gooch was unmarkable that year - what player.

One of Limerick's best players this year?

Taken off first in the semi and final. 2 biggest games of the year. He had a good start to the year but faded. Just my opinion, no need to laugh at it.


Maybe go back and get sucked in by the rugby hype

Seriously brah, I laugh at most if not all of your posts, don’t worry about it, dipshit

 

[Thanks]

TJ Reid extremely fortunate to claim an all star this year when you analyse his performances

Would be great if Hoggie could sign off with an all star and all ireland this time next year. Ryan needs to get his finger out and make sure it happens!! It's tough watching Limerick and Kilkenny getting all the glory tonight.

 

[Cork99]

He deserves it

 

[Pooman]

He deserves it

A bit like 2017 when the whole country was delighted to see Joe Canning win an A-I. Harnedy not far behind him in fairness, what a servant to Cork hurling.

Cork club hurling All-Stars: Reardens dream team revealed

This year's 15 features representation from six different clubs

www.echolive.ie

This team wouldn't fill me with confidence when we compare it to senior team. Alot of senior players didn't have a good club season
