McNulty drove two balls wide in the last ten minutes that should have been dropped in front of Dessie. The couple of points he got against Tipp probably went to his head.

A big rubby man like yourself should surely know the lay of the land on the north side of Limerick

Yeah, McNulty is a slightly awkward striker of a ball. Seems to squat down and plant both legs very wide as he hits it.

Crazy from McNulty. Into the wind aswell.
Whatever about the first one, no way should he have taken on the second shot. Crazy and sucked the life from Waterford.

Iād say theyād beat Kilkenny alright.
Austin tired markedly in the last ten minutes or else Byrnes upped his game on him significantly. One or the other, his influence dipped. That last lung bursting run up the left wing probably did for him. Noticeable too that Byrnes hit little or no loose ball all game. Hands full marking Austin.

Austin and Byrnes largely cancelled each other out. It was a good dual between two talismanic players.
Jamie Barron well off the pace when he came on. Struggling to get back up to speed after an injury blighted start to the year.
Did you make it to the match chief? Normally youd throw up an aul post a couple of days before letting us know
Its not really their fault but Waterford havenāt managed to get their best 15 on the field at any stage yet this year. Im not even sure they know their best 15.
I dont think the likes of Mikey Kiely, Monty and Cathrach Daly are good enough to be starting .
Need to get Barron and Iarlaith Daly right and start using Shane Bennett somewhere.
Play Dessie and Stephen Bennett inside.
Hogan came on last week and not yesterday. Pauric Mahony not used last week and on to save the day last night.
Too many moving parts at the minute in this Waterford set up. Theyāll need to get everything right to get the job done in July.

Shane Bennett has regressed a lot. Donāt think heās of a standard to be starting anymore. Neither is Monty. More of an impact sub.
Iarlaith Daly in the full back line for sure.
Winning possession in the half forward line has been a big problem against Limerick. Michael Kiely out in the half forward line might be a better option there.
Iād agree re Shane Bennett. Looks like Derek ruined him. Permanently by the looks of it.
Donāt suppose Sky show back any of these games? Wedding yesterday so didnāt see it
Itās a real old fashioned Waterford striking style.
If you have the box itās there on demand until Wednesday

I wouldnt give up on Shane Bennett at all.
I thought he done well last year. At least as well as could be expected playing centre back.
He also has a telepathic understanding with his brother which can be very useful. I think they should find a way to start at least two Bennettās possibly three. The chemistry would be iconic.

Those three or four long frees and 65s mussed were a killer as well. Same as last year.
Wexford and Dublin conspired to get a draw to knock us out before, and handed the ai to Limerick. I hope they both lose.
