A greater consistency could the key to unlocking Cork's quest for a first Liam McCarthy Cup success since 2005 according to Seamus Harnedy.
Speaking to The Irish Independent, the 24-year-old, who is an injury doubt ahead of Sunday's semi-final date with Waterford, outlined: "If any team is going to be successful you need a mean streak.
"You see Kilkenny over the last decade, when any opportunity presented itself and if they needed to do anything required they were always there to do it.
"You've seen the amount of times TJ Reid, (Henry) Shefflin kept going for the jugular regardless if they were seven points up, 15 points up, two points behind, a point up, they'd always go for the jugular. Every team needs to adopt a mean streak like that, not only ourselves.
"I don't think it's totally missing from our game, to be honest.
"I really feel we do have that. It's just bringing consistency to the table more than anything else, but I think that will come. We have a great panel of lads, and the mean streak can be there.
"If you look at our last 10 to 12 performances in a Cork jersey, they have been mostly very good."
