Great spot

Who would cork prefer in the final?

Tipp undoubtably.

But it will be Cork-Galway final and Galway will win.

Tipp will not lose to cork twice in one championship

Galway are stronger physically then cork

We match up better against galway imho. Would give us little chance against tipp but would fancy us against galway.

Tipp babkline would suit ye

Corks achilles is our backs. We have one lad who is well short of the standard required, another stuggling for form and two novices. We also lack pace. Galway forwards would suit our backs better. Our forwards are dynamite, and will do well against either set of defenders. All imho of course.

I think the opposite. I think physically we would be found wanting.

The not beating Tipp twice is a fair argument but i think they have to play the best match of the last 4 years to win sunday, and if they do it will as isual make them over confident and i think take alot out of them.

Not saying Cork will have it easy against Waterford, but their style means it won’t take as much out of them i feel. And De Burca is an incalcuable loss

Great to see Micky Cahill back. Full back line suddenly seems a lot stronger

Think we will beat waterford with or without tdb. Waterford are lacking the zip they had last year and look to have regressed. My own opinion is that playing a sweeper system takes hell of a lot out of players physically and mentally and has a life span of about 3 years until diminishing returns set in.

I guess we will find out the answers to both over next couple of weeks.

Interestingly, i was told that the reason austin gleeson is constantly shifted around is because he lacks concentration and by moving him about it helps to address this. Just goes to show that it is easy from outside looking in. Managers know the players best.

It should do the job

Post up the team there. Thanks.

We’ll have to show a bit more respect now that we know @Brimmer_Bradley is in his 90s. Must be awful to have your quads melt away like that.
