Cork Hurlers - Part 2

Spot on. They have us lined up from a long way out. I hope to god we are ready for them
Talking to a Waterford man, would know him a few years now living up here.
Always winding each other up.
Met him passing before the league game, he said he was going but he said 'I won't look into the result this weekend biy, tis all about April biy. I have it on good word from home Davy is only talking about April'

They targeted Limerick in the first game last year and should've beaten them. They had some shocking wides that day. They'll be fired up big time no doubt but I also feel we will be out to prove a point to everybody.

Yeah, would imagine that to be true, Davy has placed all his eggs in one basket and is prepared to fall on his sword. However I'm sure PR had no intention of trying to win a league, and his focus was also on April 21st. So should they start the game like ravenous wolves it should come as no surprise to us, in fact we should and will expect it.
So basically whatever Waterford have planned for us will ultimately fail if we arrive with the correct attitude and play to our own strengths which I hope will be good enough.
 
Other side to that is we have them lined up. This is the game we have to win.
if both teams play to their potential, Cork win.

Love having nerves on championship week!!
I hate it, it’s worse than as a player where you can do something about it

I have one of them too 🤣, he’s in total despair, he can’t wait for 2025 when Davy is gone

As Sunday closes in I can't get away from the thought that we are walking into the perfect storm, we will be facing a team that are almost written off, even by their own supporters, a team led by the ultimate trickster who have nothing to lose and a huge amount to gain, in their own backyard. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to guess Davey's recent team talks. This could be the toughest test of the four games and is an awfully difficult start.
Granted the league game is a poor barometer but it is important to remember that when they did open up the hit eight unanswered scores and pretty much ripped us apart, and we had a strong team on the field.
I am hopeful that we have enough to come through this but I can't get away from the feeling that they are already looking up the road waiting for us to arrive. " Come in to my parlour,said the spider to the fly"
Tommy Walsh thinks the same.

He believes Waterford will be licking their lips looking forward to Cork walking into the ambush they have planned.

He says they have been written off far too quickly. They still have very good players throughout the field that can cause problems for any team.

Cork will need to be fully prepared and on point.

I trust Pat Ryan won't be complacent.
 
This is going to be a battle on Sunday. Waterford will have a full squad available, new ground, written off, 6 weeks to prepare, they will be bursting for us. Win it and we are set up to get out of Munster. This is it lads, get ready!
 
Great that’s we’ve a nearly full panel to choose from - no excuses
from reading Pat Ryan comments it looks like the only question is whether they start Dalton or go with Twomey (or Hayes) instead.

Will they start Coleman - probably not.

Looks like Lehane at 11 based on league which would not be my preference but obviously mgt have faith in him.

Big game for our subs - all surely capable of earning a starting spot in later games.

I’m really looking forward to it.
