Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[Cork Fan00]

The talent on this cork team is really proving this year. JOC notched 7 for play last night and can’t even make the bench and the same goes for young William Buckley scoring 1-12 (1-7 from play). The depth is immense and good to see these lads getting the opportunity to be released for the club games to try prove that little point.

Was JOC not on the bench Saturday gone?

I went back and watched the 2021 semi final v KK out of interest (I'm not going to rewatch the final!)

You can see the nucleus of this current team is there but wow, the differences are also glaring!

The increase in physicality and size!

Players like Coleman, Fitzgibbon, TOM, NOL could all obviously hurl but they could not break tackles in this game.

And the style of play!! Looking back you couldn't devise a style of play less suited to playing a team like Limerick!

Sorry he was yes, just mean the lads not getting any game time. Must make training really competitive too which will be huge for the 4 week break.

I'm guessing he won't be if Dalton is available next match. Buckley deserves to be ahead of JOC at this stage.

We are slow to make changes though.
William was really exceptional last night but shooting the lights out against Carrigaline in a league match at this messy time of the year ain’t going to be the same thing either.

That final never happened. I have removed it entirely from my brain.

Agree, but it’s really important that players released from the squad play like intercounty players at that level and perform, it affirms their selection and management, good sign of a player as well

How will we ever know unless he's given a chance. Similar doubts were expressed about Duds earlier in the year

Twas an awful pity really that the 2021 Championship was cancelled after the semi finals. Covid really did a number on the country in those years.
