Limerick v Cork http://limerickhurling.blogspot.com/2022/04/limerick-versus-cork.html?m=1 slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6484 - 08/04/2022 09:27:17 2410209 Link
Lads any updates on Flanagan? It's gone to the stage now like the time we lost both Mike casey and Richie english and our back up corner back costello was injured. I had myself convinced that firing up Nash to corner forward and bringing in English was the masterstroke we're looking for without disrupting the team shape. (Mulcahy then in the other corner). I like Lynch kept up centre half forward Kyle Hayes attacking from deep. The thing I was mostly concerned about with this was what to do with CO'N. I feel his form in league and under 20s should be rewarded. It would have meant someone else would potentially miss out but JK and kinnerk would have to judge if lads have done enough in training to have improved on league form. If Flanagan is out I'd be more inclined to put up Hayes up top. Then there's a very full line up in the half forwards to chose from. (Lynch, Tom, CO'N, Hegarty, Hayes) A lot of these are very similar in fielding and are excellent playmaker. Who would do the job of being the extra support to Gillane in particular up top the way Flanagan does. I actually think when the two teams are named we still may not know where they will play positionally. If cork name Coleman at 6 it still wouldn't surprise anyone if he's moved to midfield and switch with Joyce. Mads (Limerick) - Posts: 377 - 09/04/2022 09:49:06 2410331 Link

Flanagan has a broken bone in his hand, had to have surgery as far as I know, unfortunately he won't be available. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1113 - 09/04/2022 12:03:27 2410352 Link
Replying To skillet: "Flanagan has a broken bone in his hand, had to have surgery as far as I know, unfortunately he won't be available." That's a very serious blow. That would put him out of the whole munster championship at least. Backs to the wall now Mads (Limerick) - Posts: 377 - 09/04/2022 12:51:38 2410359 Link
Replying To Mads: "That's a very serious blow. That would put him out of the whole munster championship at least. Backs to the wall now" For sure, still enough quality to have a serious attack in place though. Flanagan and Casey out are a big loss but O Neills form is looking very good and a bit of creativity putting the likes of Hegarty in at 14 we could still have a very potent full forward line. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1113 - 09/04/2022 15:20:31 2410374 Link

That's true, it will be very interesting to see the team sheet next week. Mads (Limerick) - Posts: 377 - 09/04/2022 15:51:57 2410378 Link
If Flanagan is definitely out then maybe it will open the door for a less heralded player to put his name on the sheet..there are fellas on panel for last few years and now might be the time to show why they are part of panel..it looks like o neill is now almost certain to be in starting 15..he looks more prepared now..now we all think options are available to management and they are seeing more of the panel than any of us on here..

Seamie is out by all accounts. What a loss. I wonder is it possible to play Mul at 15 and fit O'Neil into Flanagan's role? I think Flanagan's movement has been spectacular and is a big part of our success. Was a big loss in 2019 IMO. Can O'Neil be moulded into that space making 14 in two weeks. I think O'Neils eye for goal would even be better than big Seamie! Seeking_silver (Limerick) - Posts: 411 - 11/04/2022 16:17:35 2410557 Link
Is it true that Kyle is struggling for fitness with a hamstring injury? If he's out also we're in trouble. GerO.Racle (Limerick) - Posts: 47 - 11/04/2022 17:12:16 2410569 Link
Off the ball said Kyle Hayes is a major worry,local radio said he,ll be all right.shamie is a huge loss..that will probably mean gillane full and he,ll need a lot of help from the 2 corners..I expect a surprise or two in the selection as management have done on a few occasions in past few years..

Fierce excited. Nervous certainly but if we keep enough guys fit and survive Munster we'll be hard to beat. Excited to see the likes of Cathal O Neill or Oisin o' Reilly offer a different threat if Seamus is out. Sunday will be a bear pit in pairc ui Caoimh but I think there will be an awful lot of green there. At least One win from our first two games is essential. If Kyle Is out I'd expect Mike or Richie to come back up in with Dan or Barry let loose to wing back. Sugary_tae (Limerick) - Posts: 70 - 12/04/2022 18:16:10 2410735 Link

Where is Patrick O'Donovan, who seemed to be promising earlier this year and what of Paddy O'Loughlin, always a fair good wing back. Meanwhile a huge defeat for our minors tonight. Just goes to show that recent successes at Senior Level, had much more to do with a great crop of hurlers coming up together than it had to do with any Sponsors money. Without naturally talented players you win nothing. Oldtourman (Limerick) - Posts: 4514 - 12/04/2022 21:20:41 2410765 Link
The Minors level of fitness and first touch was very bad. Dublinculchie1 (Limerick) - Posts: 129 - 13/04/2022 09:45:58 2410777 Link

Should let him with U20 for now as they will probably lose Cathal O Neill after Sunday higgins (Limerick) - Posts: 256 - 13/04/2022 10:59:50 2410797 Link

Will they're playing and club numbers Cork were always going to be a serious outfit again once they put resources into underage. Will be very hard to compete at all levels soon. We definitely have to appreciate these days at senior level. Hopefully we can come out all guns blazing on Sunday Mads (Limerick) - Posts: 377 - 13/04/2022 11:00:29 2410798 Link
So David Reidy gets his chance to shine on the big stage. I wish him the very best of luck and I have every confidence in him. Hopefully GMul will simply do what he does against Cork. Seeking_silver (Limerick) - Posts: 411 - 16/04/2022 08:14:44 2411055 Link
After all the rumours and doubts I have to say I'm very happy with the team picked for Sunday. It was as I had expected with Reidy coming in for o neill in my predicted 15. This is smart in a way by kiely as it takes the pressure off o neill to start in a very big match in a hostile environment. Reidy has the experience and I'd imagine he'll be floating out quite a bit. I do see likes of hego and Tom moving closer to the 21 at times esp in opening 20 mins. It will also allow kiely to have something in reserve when needed. I've no doubt mul will deliver Sunday. He is coming into this v fresh and is a seasoned insiside forward at this stage. His workrate is never far from top drawer and always clips a few scores. Reidy has become a much more creative/link player in last 12 months and has improved his tackle count too. I'm glad kiely hasn't been tempted to move the lines too much. That back 7 are phenomenal and know their movements extremely well. WoD Hego and Lynch are the fulcrum of that middle 8 for me. With hayes there too it's the pieces we need to win that crucial battle ground. This March is mouth watering and from what I've heard training has been excellent. The plan all year was for Sunday and the league to a degree was sacrificed due to the late return and priority for freshness come Easter. Kiely and kinnerk hsbe gambled before and we'll see over next 5 weeks if they reap the rewards. Flanagan and casey are huge losses. 2 all star forwards from your inside line are hard to replace but have been replaced with quality players. Peter casey Barry Murphy are only a few weeks away and Flanagan on the mend means this panel will become very deep very soon. I'd argue likes of Mike casey richie English cathal o neill start in nearly all teams in the country. Can't wait. Luimneach abú daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 1198 - 16/04/2022 08:43:44 2411057 Link
