Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[Twiceasnice97]

I can see Coleman somewhere else but the idea of moving Joyce is crazy to me. I like Coleman at #7 for a number of reasons. One, he’s excelled there before. Two, his presence there makes the opponent react to us rather than the other way around. That is lost on a lot of people it seems. Folks focus on how we match up with other teams. Coleman’s skills at #7 put the opponents under duress. They have to worry about how they deal with him coming up the field. Three, I believe he’s better at hooking and blocking than you do. I believe he’s clearly put on muscle to improve defending the high ball which he impressed on against Kilkenny. I believe he’s able to improve which considering his age should go without saying.

That's a very good point. Before the tikki-taka era under Kingston he was the best head up hurler in the country able to score, run or pass from deep. If Coleman can be at his best at wing back he is a huge asset that offers something that no other Cork defender does.

Seriously folks , no one outside cork thinks about Coleman like this.

Nice hurler , put an aggressive lad in his area , land every puck out between them and have midfielders run at him with every chance they get.

Agreed, where would you play him? Would you play him?

Exactly, the absolute outlandish Micro world of the Cork hurling Snob is sight to behold. Is he in the top 10 Half backs in the Country. NO .

Two untested midfielders?

Isn't that the whole idea of the league, try guys in other positions to see how they go? I think Coleman is a must to start but wouldn't be for moving Joyce out of 6. I think TOM has the muscle and workrate for midfield and I think he and Coleman would be a good midfield pairing - certainly worth a review

Thou shalt not critique certain players amongst the cork hurling man meself cohort. Despite what limerick have demonstrated as the standard for over 5 years the cork hurling man meself chap thinks you can still play a ‘quarter back’ or ‘tidy’ hurler as a kind of non marking wing back…..some of these fellas would have Coleman on one wing and Tim o’ Mahoney on the other in the half back line.
The game has changed since Coleman started senior and his style of play is no longer suited to wing back
