We just don't have the hurlers at the minute. When we were competing with the top teams Simon was corner back, now he's midfield. Casey was third choice goalkeeper, now he's the first sub on. We have some very good hurlers but we don't have the strength and depth.

Really? Wexford have beaten Antrim by 1 point, at home, and were beaten by Dublin. I think you should be more concerned about a relegation battle than looking at teams from Munster."
Best Antrim by 11 points, just saying. Clare v Waterford was a pretty poor game, and Tipp v Cork a non event.

Tbf, I don't think we've had depth for a long time, we weren't far away from being a 17/18 man team under Davy
Well hard luck yesterday. I never kick anyone when they are down and won't now either. What yesterday proved is what I have always said, there is a place for a long ball and an animal on the end of it. But what a helter skelter rollercoaster of a match, if it had happened in Munster (2 disappointing games today but shhh.....whisper it) it would have had the same exaggeration as usual. It was a cracking game, non-stop and in the balance until the end. I was on the Golf Course side around the 21 and knew that was saved. A real turning point and poor officiating. But still all to play for and nothing decided as yet. Win in Galway, not unachievable, and you're right back in it with your fate in your own hands. Lose it and its season over and damage limitation. Delighted for Niall and the team, it is often over used but everybody wrote us off once O'Donnell joined the footballers.
