Will he be bothered though. Itās really another 5 years to bring through a new panel with his stamp only on them.
Were we not raging favourites for every match against Tipp and cork the last 3 years or are they no longer part of the traditional counties?

You just need them to get the job done for you now on the 17th in a not quite sold out Croke Park.
āWorst KK team ever beat Limerickās greatest AGAIN, worst championship ever, there are no young players!ā
Would Hayes be too impulsive to play at 6? He has plenty of hurling and legs to get across where he would need to.
Flanagan has a good head, has he played anywhere other than corner-back/full-back?
Both have played centre back at club level. I think Hayes would be a solid replacement for Ryan at wing back if you shifted Ryan to 6
I would have always thought Ryan would be the next long-term 6, but was impressed by his ability to get forward this year and you donāt exactly want to lose that either.

Agreed. You might be stifling a bit of his game by putting him at 6

Heāll be stalking him again now
A stereotypical IT oddball like meself.
Every team needs a Hanbury. The quiet fella in the corner who knows the scope of his role and has the capability to master it.

I said really big games.
Its grand being favourites against Tipp in a mickey mouse round robin/winter blitz/Munster Final played in front of Rob Ryan and a few stewards.
It would be a different story beating Tipp in a proper knockout game in front of a full Croke Park let me tell you.
Hurling wasnāt invented 4 years ago Iām afraid.
Big House can buy a future but not the past unfortunately.
So, how does he want to be remembered as a hurler?
āI donāt,ā he responds immediately. āGenuinely.

No.
Something alchemical happened over the four week break, as both Brian Cody and TJ Reid hinted after the game.
Incredibly intereting game today. All this talk of Limerick walking all over galway is nonsense (i would love it though). Galway will be ready, have a plan to shut down Limerick. They wont be as poor as they were vs cork. I expect massive Physicality for the whole 70 mins. It will be like 2020. The biggest fear is a repeat of 2019 when we gave kk a head start and never fire. If Limerick start firing near top gear i think we will win narrowly
2019 was down to poor management and Hannonās dickie heart.
What clown takes responsibility for Kilkenny losing control of their own destiny in 2022 by playing shite and losing to Wexford?
The likes of you has not got a clue. And no cojones.
Any answer?
Getting some preparation time leads to significant improvement.
In the halcyon days circa 2009-2017, Tipp, Galway and Kilkenny used improve immeasurably as the summer wore on with 2 or 3 week intervals leading to some of the greatest games of all time in August and September.
The current format for the most part leads to teams scrambling around for form and results in shit standards and shit games.

Cody keeps trucking along and nobody will ever know what if?
Incredible that heāll be allowed continue if and when they fall again this year 
Kilkenny have played 7 championship games this year and have had one really bad game.
Theyād have been desperately unlucky to go out similar to Galway in 2019
And i dont think Micheal Donoghue was a clown back then.
