A lot of talk on how rugby great Keith earls was the catalyst for limericks all Ireland victory. Serial winner Keith informed the players on how to improve there mental and physical preparation after years of failure. Is there a lesson for other GAA teams ? Should GAA teams seek out Irish rugby heroes so they can learn from Superior sport athletes with vast knowledge on all aspects relating to sport? brisbane (Galway) - Posts: 674 - 25/09/2018 17:15:46 2143784 Link 0 |
I think it's quiet a common occurrence. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 25/09/2018 20:18:11 2143816 Link 0 |
Three observations. (1) If Galway had put that last ball in the Limerick and won there would have been little or nothing about Keith's input and I am certainly not saying I do not welcome it. (2) I think Paul O'Connelll made a similiar contribution in 2007, but without the same effect. (3) When we had painstakingly reduced the nine point lead to four in the same 2007 and had subs of the calibre of what we have now Paul's urgings just might have made a difference.

Perhaps it would have made a difference but essentially the bottom line is, it comes down to the strength of your panel. Great to get these guys in but they cannot make the difference if you don't have the talent.

He didnt deliver anything. He spoke to the squad like any player from other sports/motivational character does to any squad. DonaldDuck (Tipperary) - Posts: 544 - 25/09/2018 22:44:09 2143839 Link 0 |

Keith Earls has about 0.00001% to do with Limerick winking the All ireland. The main man to make it happen was the hurling coaching wizard that is Paul Kinnerk. A lot of other factors involved too, but all the players and management couldn't state the influence of Kinnerk highly enough. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 712 - 26/09/2018 01:34:56 2143852 Link 0 |

Dead on Perfect10. It is say that victory has a hundred fathers, but failure is an orphan
