Midfield is a huge concern. I'd play 2 of TOM, TOC and MC. If TOM cut out the Macho Man routine, he could be a big player in midfield.
Championship can't come soon enough.....
Tony Browne is going well this year too..De la Salle dominance and the role of Austin Gleeson - the forum is not to be trusted on Waterford scouting mission anyway
A lot of scar tissue built up already on the Coleman, Fitz, Kingston generation. Winning one of the Clare or Limk. games last year would have been a massive boost to this team, hopefully their confidence has built back up and they can get over the line this year, if they can get out of Munster things might open up for us.Hmmm. Waterford probably won't make it out but will have at least one kick in them this year and they'd love it to be at home to Cork. Not to be underestimated under any circumstances.
The home game against Limerick this year could be the most important Cork hurling game in a decade. If we don't get out of Munster this year then an awful lot of what some fellas think is inevitable starts to look very different. If you'd said in 2017 walking away from the Munster final that we'd only make one final in the next 8 years and be on the end of one of the greatest beatings in the history of the game at that you'd have been written off as a massive pessimist.
That Ned Power in goal is flying too I hear.Tony Browne is going well this year too..
Ballygunner I meant obviously
I also think there’s a strong chance that will be the team, and that the first 2 subs will be Meade and Kingston, and it’s why I’m not front and centre at the optimism party (where I usually am at this time of year).
For what it’s worth this is the team I think they will pick, I think we’d be overrun in the middle with poor Tommy doing the work of 3 men
Collins
Niall Damien Sean
Millerick Joyce RDowney
Tommy Fitzy
Dalton Lehane Harnedy
Barrett Connolly Horgan
BR is the man here. Him and TOC for me would be a good mix. Played great ball last year and his tackling technique is very good. Couldn’t play TOM, too many needless fouls.Replace Lehane with Fitz and bring in one of TOM/BR/MC midfield and we are motoring.
