Hegoâs first touch is outrageous.
I wouldnât see it as a surprise that heâd be somebodyâs favourite player. He combines huge skill with ballwinning ability, work rate as well as standing up in big moments. That makes him stand out from the crowd.
I would say my favourite non-Limerick player to watch is Daithi Burke. A warrior. His striking wouldnât always be the best but heâs some player.
His first touch has been brutal this year from what Ive seen, maybe so in the past.
Whilst on the topic, Lynch and Byrnes are also more skilful.
The facts suggest otherwise, see goals in 2021 AIF and 2022 MF
They were scored from about 10 yards out. Tbf to him, he is very good at using the side spin drop shot off his right to make up for this inadequacy.
Ye Tipp lads are obsessed with striking as if itâs the only skill in the game.
Ronan Lynch is nowhere near as skilful as Hego; thatâs actually a laughable comment. Go watch Limerick train and see the speed of Hegoâs hurling; itâs way beyond most of those other players you mention.
Lynch, Hannon, Nash, DOD- maybe fair enough. But, as of now, heâs still way beyond the likes of SOB and the other subs.
Of course we are obsessed with striking, that is the primary skill in the game. I accept your point it is this view that is probably doing more damage than good in the current game. This may turn again.
Aesthetically speaking, he is not a player I would go to watch. English, CON & even SOB are far more easy on the eye.
I would always say that first touch is the most important; the ability to get the ball into your hand first time- high, low, off the hurley, straight into your hand, whatever.
Without that ability, you can have the sweetest strike in the world but you wonât actually puck any ball because you need other people to give you handy ball all the time.
Weâve fellas on our Junior B team who are lovely strikers of the ball but arenât worth a fuck in a real match because thatâs literally all they can do. Maybe we could stand them in goal but even then, under a dropping ball, youâd be fearful.
Obviously you need a combination of skill to make it at the highest level. Not that Hegoâs striking is bad; his long range striking off his right is very very accurate. If he has a fault, itâd be his short striking in tight spaces.
fixed that for you
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
I rest my case you Lord
Fuck it lads , I fear for some of the tipp lads mental health over the winter if Limerick win it againâŚit an obsession for a few
Never underestimate the self-regard of your average Tippo.
Declan Hannon was seen mini-golfing in Jurassic Par, on the Ballysimon Road, with no noticeable limp and is expected to feature Saturday.
What in the sweet fuck did this lad think he was saying? 
@balbec would want to whip these lads into line sharpish
The battle between himself and Jason Flynn will be the winning and losing of the game.
We are very close to the Limerickâs describing WOD as a stickman.
The frontliners arenât to be trusted by the general
Ah no all us Limericks know that poor auld WOD wouldnt be half the stickman of say Alan Tynan.
How is Alan, is he still living off the glory of goading Will in a league game?
Alan Tynan is a poor sticksman.
Whats a sticksman? Alan was in line for an Allstar according to lads here for goading Will and then pucking a few balls against Cork.
