Lehane was head and shoulders the best forward in the county championship.
Suggestions that he doesn't deserve his place are ludicrous.
Absolutely let’s look at the club championship only and ignore the last 10 years at senior intercounty level
I think Galway should be ranked a little ahead of Cork this year. They haven't lost a match, albeit they haven't yet faced a team as strong as Limerick or Clare. Cork were comfortably beaten by the two strongest teams in Munster and in turn beat what turned out to be the two weakest.Whatever about Kilkenny we are not 50:50 with Galway at all by any rational analysis of where the two teams stand.
Galway are a team cork hate playing against- very physical and direct if they want to be.
I think fellas need to calm down and in fairness the knowledgeable posters are as usual, Waterford and tipp blew up this year and obviously there are things going on there in the background.
Cork did the job and deserve praise but they have a while to go to say they would beat Galway for example.
Still wouldn’t be fully convinced bt the management team as any crew that could set cork up the way they did this year until the players told them enough wouldn’t inspire confidence.
'Knowledgeable poster'.
I said we were 50:50 against Kilkenny/Galway. How you can take that as an assumption we would beat Galway or being somehow evidence of getting carried away is anyone's guess.
Kingston could raise the Titanic with magnets and you'd still be finding something to crib about.
I'd be inclined to perhaps agree with you on the Limerick comment Hank but I think a respectable performance against Galway/Kilkenny would not be seen as anywhere near enough for the continued progression of this team. We were good enough to beat this level of opposition last year so I think at this stage the only type of defeat that might be somehow acceptable under the banner of "progress" is a narrow defeat to Limerick where we put it up to them and stay competitive for the full game. Limerick are that good but as you said every team can have an off-day but Cork need to improve on last year otherwise 2022 will have seen us regress as a team and that is not a good sign of a young team - we need to be moving forward every year otherwise there will be player turnover and we will be back to the drawing board before we know it.I'd say with this teams development we are probably 12 months off of beating Limerick.
I'd be happy enough with a respectable performance against Galway/Kilkenny.
Just looking at our scorers so far from the 4 matches
From play Connolly 4-2, Lehane with 12 , Fitzgibbon 2-3, Shane Kingston with 1-8, Harnedy with 10, O'Flynn 8 and Hoggy with 7.
If we can continue with
