All-Ireland Hurling Championship 2019***

Be some craic though

Whatā€™s the mood below now? Iā€™d say they are fairly confident after seeing the Cork backline.

No actually. Reckon too much chopping and changing. Hoping Richie Hogan will click

Cork by 7
Tipperary by 24

Richie Hogan hasnā€™t been fit for a few years at this stage. Had a decent game against Limerick in the quarter final last year but hadnā€™t done a whole pile before that in 2018 and hasnā€™t done a lot since. Looks a lad almost in need of a complete break from hurling.

A fantastic player when fully fit but expecting an awful lot for him to turn on the form like a tap.

Didnā€™t he give up work in Dublin to concentrate on hurling, and hasnā€™t hurled since.

Of they get half a performance at all out of him, Reid and Fennelly they have a chanceā€¦

Kilkenny will have to plunder goals in order to beat Cork and I donā€™t think they will.

Tipp will destroy Laois unfortunately

Youā€™re kidding?

Is Hogan not crippled at this stage?

When Iā€™ve seen Hogan recently its his decision making that let him down. He was still good for winning ball and getting on the ball in general

Hopefully but Cody can pull the rabbit out of the hat when needed if Cork lapse in concentration ( as they do for periods)itā€™s curtains

When have you seen him recently?

Against Galway this year and when he played last year

Fair comment

Heā€™s started no game this year and one last year I think. It can be hard make good decisions when you come on as a sub in a game youā€™re losing or is tight. Itā€™s grand if you come on in a dominant side.

Hogan is top class.

Heā€™s utterly brilliant on his day.

I agree with you. Iā€™d start him every time for Kilkenny even based on what weā€™ve seen recently. Heā€™s still getting on a lot of ball and winning it when he does play and based on his past youā€™d think the decision making will come

If cork win tomorrow I hope itā€™s not after cadogan is taken for 3 goals. Would like to see him against gillane again and not sittong on the bench

Kilkenny need someone to step up and score with tj. Hoggy and tj will score 20 odd points between them. Harnedy will score his 3 or four. Kilkenny will need someone to have a going day. Richie Hogan is the man. If he is going well Iā€™d expect Kilkenny to win a very tight game.
