Reid reminds me of Eoin Kelly in his pomp, carrying a forward line of mullockers. Iād say that Reid has single handedly won/drawn games for KK more than any single player for any team in recent years. The cunt is like a fucking Terminator that you canāt kill off

Its a solid comparison, but reid is better. Catching puck outs and working scores all himself, killer goalshot. As to why galway didnt use the extra man to double mark him, hands up wondering emoji

Wins for Kilkenny and Dublin next week would knock Wexford out of the championship.
Who should pick up TJ Reid? James Breen was a right niggly, mauling, dragging nuisance on him in 2017 in league and championship, but heās on the bench having taken a year out last year and been injured during the league. Itās unlikely heāll be drafted in.
Of our starting 6 starting backs, I think each of them have at least one area where Reid would exploit them. Shaun Murphy is doing quite well as a traditional marking wing back this season but think Reid would be too strong for him in the air.
In fairness to Kelly, he spent his entire career in the FF line. Wasnāt much puck outs caught in there
Agreed, he must have won about 10 puckouts/breaks off puckouts today as well as 2-5 from play
I know im just making the point that reid is often doing it all himself, not even needing the ball (often very middling) kelly created scores from. Hes way underrated, im not sure that will ever be recognised. Has no public profile, is by all accounts a simple enough redneck shaping hurls away in a shed, but a genius.

Does he not run a gym?
Iād agree with you on all the points about him btw. I think itās interesting to look at the trajectory of his career over the past 6/7 years compared to someone like Richie Hogan
Hogan has had significant injury problems, but Reid seems to stay out of the limelight altogether. Itās true worth will be realised when heās gone from them
Disagree massively on your final point. We know well how valuable he is

Spoof.
Aye but maybe by those outside the county. Sorry should have been clearer

Need to go full blown Champions League with the Round Robin, have home and away fixtures same season, maybe an away goal rule as well.
The seethe runs deep in this one. Galway beat KK at home and all they can talk about is the All Ireland Champions.

Two asterisks after that cork capitulation. Did you hear they didnāt bring the asterisk to any pubs around the county, but made sure it visited every school. Best. Team. Ever.

Actually i think he does, the fact i didnāt know that kind of strengthens the point heās low key.
Hogan killed Kilkenny today. They must be stuck if cody would persist with someone, albeit a great, taking potshots
He owns a gym in Salthill as well now, not sure how that came about
