Mid-Summer Hurling All Stars

Copying the football thread!
1. Callinan
2. Barrett
3. Barry
4. Murphy
5. P. Maher
6. Burke
7. Buckley
8. Breen
9. Barron
10. Reid
11. Hogan
12. Gleeson
13. Farrell
14. Callinan
15. McGrath

I'm struggling a bit in a good few places. I think I should have more Waterford players in there and probably Lee Chin. Hogan, Callinan and Reid haven't been near as impressive as the last two years. Who else have I left out and who shouldn't be there? I've only two Galway players and no one from anyone outside the top 4....

Thoughts...

It's hard to pick hurling all stars at anytime of the year. Most teams have only played 2 games so far and no real stand out performers to date apart from Cathal Barrett,Paudie Maher,Michael Been,John Joe Farrell,Cillian Buckley,Paul Murphy.
Richie Hogan has only played 35 minutes but what a 35 mins it was.
Austin Gleeson had a great game v Clare and an OK first half v Tipp only for the sidelines he scored he was out of the game.
Galway are coming through nicely I'd say Conor Whelan and Joe Canning will do damage before the years end.
Of the teams not left Conor McGrath and Lee Chin deserve a mention.

David Burke was one I probably missed alright. Couldn't leave out James Barry though. He's Tipp most important back.

Junior that's because both were cleaned out in Munster final but I'd have both on before Richie Hogan, lads have him down for all star after 35mins hurling and I even seen Bubbles mentioned for some strange reason.
