William Kearney was on the extended panel and trained with them all season last yr. Was on the Boston trip.
Costing nothing to try these lads again. Id say Myler has specific roles in mind for Walsh and Murphy.
Murphy was dropped completely from almost being a regular starter, I think he got sent off in league game vs KK and was seen no more. There is a bit of cutting in him anyway and will feature in the forwards completely this time around probably in a Timmy Mc type role.
Lot of good young lads coming through but wont be ready for a while so he is throwing the kitchen sink at it now, if even one of them older (recycled) lads became a viable bench option it would be worth it
Certainly worth trying to deepen the panel alright, I just would have thought he would have tried to do that with younger players but if yeâre saying theyâre not ready yet then theyâre not ready. Youâd wonder when will they be ready though if theyâre not brought in and given exposure?
I think it might be more of a case of Myler and management feeling the current crop are very close to an All Ireland win and heâs pushing to win one with them lads as opposed to sacrificing the 2 years or so of rebuilding it would take under under the new young lads from that minor side a few years ago.
Itâs very early yet and you wouldnât read too much into it. Limerickâs team in the equivalent match last year turned out to have more starters than people expected, but Cork are coming from a different place. Alan Cadogan back will be a huge boost for one.
If I was Christopher Joyce, I wouldnât want to be picked midfield- realistically, heâs not going to dislodge Cooper/Fitzgibbon and Iâd be shocked if he would even be considered as a first sub. And it gives other players a chance to prove themselves in the half-back line. Probably what Cork need, their half-back line was probably their weakest line. A couple more forward/midfield subs too, the younger Cahalane looks handy; Cormac Murphy always seem talented, if a little rash.
Thatâs a hell of a football document thatâs been produced. Credit where itâs due, if they implement half of that theyâll turn football on itâs head down there
Missing the pen in first couple of mins was a killer. However, de la salle will still play same system in 2nd half so although playing with wind its not such a huge advantage (i think and hope)
Not at all. Cork are on the rise at underage. And theyâd want to be, looking at the Cork squad named for the league and the team named for Kilkenny tomorrow. Back to the future stuff.
Your clubmate was outstanding at centre back. When the need was greatest, he stood up. Forwards never really clicked but understandable given the dls system. Subs made a massive difference and here in lies midletons greatest strength. They dont have the âstarsâ of cbc but are a better balanced team and panel.
Cbc will be warm favourites but as we learned last year, itâs the âteamâ rather than âstarsâ that often come out on top.
