Cork & Waterford have served up some classics over the past 20 years.

I think leaving any of them clearly free would be madness. You split the 3 full-backs between 2 forwards, and if Nash goes short, you ensure that pressure is put on the clearance.

Clare had O’Donnell doing it all on his own, and Cahalane had all day to pick whatever pass he wanted.

Management teams were chalk and cheese.

He has a better delivery than Cahalane though, done right i think Cahalane can be got to. He was on the edge a few times against Clare, they just lacked the balls to adjust and push up
Psychologically it would have tested Cork had there been a mistake.

Who’s reffing this game? – Waterford need to up the physical stakes here - Go out and take the head clean off the likes of Meade/Lehane in the first couple minutes and watch them shrivel.

James Owens, the best in the business.

Will you be shouting for your ancestral Cork, or for your near neighbours Waterford?

The last time Waterford went out with that mentality in croke park was 2008 and it didnt go well. Would play right into cork hands to focus on spoiling and forget own game plan

I never said that, mate - I just said to go out and give those Cork cunts a bit of timber early and watch them fold - You’re hardly comparing this Cork team to that KK team? That Kk team fed off it - This Cork team haven’t seen an ounce of it yet and they’d be stupid not to turn the heat up on them.

Hey old timer those days are gone…bring on the timber ffs

Tipperary tried to murder 4 Galway players on Sunday - Those days will never go.

Not as their primary tactic as you suggest they didnt

And i’m not saying the Blaas need it as their primary tactic either, mate – Stop being so tetchy around Cork.

Thats exactly what you said about 5 posts ago. Go out and timber the cunts and watch them wilt. I’m not a bit tetchy just disagree with your strategy fir waterford

Timber them in the opening minutes, mate. They can just out hurl them for the other 67.35 mins.

This Waterford team outhurl this Cork team?

:grinning:

Yes, they potentially could… If they produce a performance like they did this time last year they’d beat Cork handy enough. Don’t be confusing what goes on in the provincials/ early qualifiers with what goes on in the All Ireland series – It’s the same mindset that led you to totally dismiss Tipp coming into the Galway game.

Waterford have the better hurlers of the 2 teams.

Waterford were here last year also and had two savage games - they know what’s required and have been playing games while Cork have been gowling around outside KCs - If Derek let’s them off the leash they will destroy Cork.
