Replying To theboys: "Lads his man played in front of the halfback line and around the middle 3rd for the majority of the game and Richie played behind the half back line!!! Call it what you like he was a spare man/sweeper/extra man what ever you want,all I'm pointing out is that he was a Free man who had the freedom to go where he liked!!! I'm also trying to point out that I think he would be more effective at midfield,I think he gives away to many frees and also 2 penalties I think he will struggle come championship on the good hurlers that he hasn't come across yet,well maybe mossy keoghan who took him for 2 goals!!! Defensively he's not good"
Didn't he play midfield a couple of times last year has been playing better in the half back line.
Replying To Viking66: "Last year we were 2 or 3 yards of a bad penalty decision in Nowlan Park from making a Leinster Final. And/or a couple of theatrical Greg Louganis moments from TJ. Them are the small margins."
Tbf Viking after half time in that game we were very poor until probably the last 10-15 mins, we were outscored by something like 10 points I think and left ourselves with too much to do.
As much as I'd like to, I wouldnt blame TJ.
I'd blame us for the meltdown at the end of the Dublin game and the second half of the Antrim game, in the end that's what cost us.
If we're going to have any hope this year getting to a Leinster final we're going to have to come away from Salthill and Parnell Park/Croke Park with at least 2 points from those 2 games, same as 2019.
Think lawlor has been good in a lot of the games he's player regardless of where he plays . Does nt seem to.have a defined position . Good workrate and able to win his own ball takes few Scores too . Not a natural in any position but has done well in wing back . Midfield could be his best position but at wing back in last couple games he s looked good . Modern game is different and most lads have to be able to play in different positions or different roles not just traditional ones . Adaptability . Still a full back is a full back and centre back is a centre back . The 2 positions prob given most thought by any manager as they hold so much influence on the game and how the team perform. Weakness here can cost you dearly . At present we don't have stand outs for either . Anyone that plays for us lacks something they are nt perfect fit for those positions . .
