Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[TheOutdoorThreadmill]

Dalton worked his way back from injury early this year, got himself fit but then pulled his hamstring (I think) and was told go way and get yourself fit. Within weeks he was back shooting out the lights with his club but was never invited back on to the cork panel. He was treated appallingly and should never have been let go

That isn't what happened but seeing as the management are gone now what actually happened is irrelevant.

Sully has said enough. We move on.

Average height? Have you ever stood next to the man? He’s a monster

You’re worse than the outgoing cork management listening too much to online criticism

he is 6ft tall ffs
what are you a midget

we are talking about intercounty senior hurling here not the cork under 14s
he is not a big lad by intercounty standards
jesus

Here he is next to Maccy who is 6'2, no much if anything between them height wise

Tan seems very concerned about Dalton......the lady doth protest too much methinks....

I remember a pen picture of him a while back saying he was 1.8 ms
thats 6ft
maybe you can produce something to the contrary but this is interesting

I wonder is there a bit of generosity going on here as is the norm with lads playing

hes definitely bigger than i thought if he is 6 ft 2.
still not convinced
the photos above are not in any way instructive

Concern is a big word, It interests me me that cork people can get so obsessed with the brilliance of a young man that has literally done nothing much so far.

The pressure of this kind of nonsense is ludicrous
Pa O Callaghan was the previous lord god almighty

I wouldnt be making these kind of claims about the impact of Aidan McCarthy in a clare context next year and he has delivered in serious matchs for the clare seniors already before his injury

Where is the pressure? Posters are just saying he should be considered for the panel like lots of other names get thrown about. No one is saying that we are going to win around us with him.

from Wisdom teeth to 2nd coming of "Dalt" to a Wexford Beour's Accent, this place never cease's to amaze. Ryan's 3 year term will be MAGNIFICENT even without Hurling!
