I agree but the Munster experts are not having it.
The brains of the operation has gone to Waterford
Correct
The bigging up of Kilkenny is amusing. Everybody beats Kilkenny now. Limerick for the first time last summer since 1973, Waterford the summer before for first time since 1959, Dublin in 2013 for first time since 1941. Kilkenny have got some right hidings in the last three summers from Tipperary, Waterford and Galway. Not many young lads to throw inneither at the moment as they were getting hammered by Wexford at U21 for three or fours years running and even losing to Westmeath.
Whoâs this now? Wheels certainly came off in Clare after Kinnerk left
Kilkenny were very good last year. Could have beat Limerick in the quarter final
And that young Mullen will be another superstar for them too.
ah they could but in reality it took several top class saves from Eoin Murphy to keep them in touch with Limerick.

In reality Eoin Murphy is their player though so its not a very good argument

Any time I watched them playing, they were very average.
Steeped to beat Dublin in Parnell Park
0-1 from play from the starting 6 forwards against Galway in Salthill in 70 minutes before an injury time Walter Walsh goal averted a double digit defeat.
0-1 from play from the starting 6 fowards against Wexford in Nowlan Park.
0-4 from play from the starting 6 forwards against Galway in drawn Leinster Final.
Beaten out the gate in the first half of the replay against Galway in Thurles. Galway fell asleep for a few minutes to let them back into, then woke up again to hammer them a second time.
They did improve a bit against Limerick, but the story of that match was Limerick making far heavy work than they should have had of overcoming psychological baggage and Aaron Gillane making a hero of Eoin Murphy.
The Kilkenny reliance on 3 or 4 top drawer saves from their goalkeeper nearly every day and the complete reliance on a 30 something veteran in their forward line is not reflective of a contending team.

Kk are still decent . The day they played Lk was their 3rd Sunday in a row out . WW was a massive loss . They shot 18 wides and had a real bad call in the last few minutes . Also they had a few niggly injuries .
I think they need a couple of corner backs.
They will be there or thereabouts this year .
âVery goodâ is probably pushing it. They have some very good players and did very well last year at staying in touch in games where they werenât playing all that well. But I donât think Kilkenny supporters would be happy with that, and you need more to win an All-Ireland.
Still, youâd imagine theyâll be better next year.
Considering the hammering they got in 2016 and their performances in 2017 I thought they were very good last year. If they can keep all their good lads fit they have 5 or 6 of the best players in the country straight off the bat
Anyone writing off a Kilkenny team with Brian Cody as manager is talking fucking shite.
They will have a big say next year.

The weakest Kilkenny team in years but still only lost to the All-Ireland champions by two points and drew with the other A-I finalist in a provincial final.
Theyâll still prove a tough nut to crack for everyone in 2â19.

Lads rigting off kk are mad. Remember they bate all around at schools and bate limerick in a minor+ few current players + Cody. They are gone nowhere.

Theyâre Millwall at their peak. A tough dogged team that noone will want to face really, but that most good teams hurling well should be able for just at the minute.
KK are going no where. They are done. Fuck em.
