Hurling All Stars 2014

[QUOTE=“carryharry, post: 1014280, member: 1517”]Competition?
B Hogan, M Ellis, W McNamara? No outstanding No 6 on show this year.

It will be Brendan or Brian Hogan.[/QUOTE]
Ellis the most consistent by a mile. Hogan was destroyed in last 2 games. Maher hasn’t always played in the centre either.

[QUOTE=“Bartosz Bereszynskiego, post: 1014232, member: 9”]The selectors will acknowledge that Wexford only lost to Limerick because of their hectic schedule.

Cathal Barrett is an absolute shoe-in for YHOTY. I think everybody realises that bar the odd deluded Limerick poster like @glasagusban.

I couldn’t have the Tipp keeper - he was shit on Sunday.[/QUOTE]
Limerick hurling fans are mental.

Enough to realise you don’t

If you were picking the best centre back in the country and not who you think will get an all star then maybe Kevin Moran is worth a shout. I do think Ellis has it, and is probably the best CB of the teams that played in the semis, but he won’t get one this year. Not with Brian Hogan probably retiring and Brendan Maher involved in a final, whoever wins the replay, their man will get the CB All-Star. In my opinion

I think Ellis might get the nod because no one has been outstanding at 6 and they couldn’t leave the Munster champions without one.

Very difficult for Cork to get one based on the second half domination of the Tipp forwards in the AI semi.

People forget that Tipp won the Munster championship in 2012 & won not a single All Star award.

Limerick got one last year, Richie.
Cork played in 2 AI finals last year and only got three, I think. Same as the Dubs, who surely won’t get any this year. Clare might go from having 8 on it to having none. :smiley:

If anyone is to get one from Cork, it’ll probably be Alan Cadogan. If KK win the replay, Brian Hogan is a banker for it, more than likely retiring, great service, etc, etc

Pointless picking them now until after the replay. Conor McGrath won one with his outstanding performance in the replayed final while Shane O’Neill would have probably been given one up until the replay.

Agree. And you’re right, because I also forgot that. In that case none for Cork.

@Joe Player has you all eating out of his hand :clap:

he has played the forum like a small concertina

  1. Whoever, nobody really stands out, probably whoever wins the AI
  2. Murphy
  3. Delaney (if KK win AI) otherwise McCarthy
  4. Barrett (YHOTY)
  5. Reale
  6. P Maher
  7. Bergin
  8. Hogan (HOTY)
  9. McGrath
  10. Reid
  11. B Maher
  12. O’Dwyer
  13. Dowling
  14. Callanan
  15. Power / C Fennelly

Kevin Moran isn’t the best centre back in his own club on this years form

Anthony Nash was nailed on for HOTY until halftime in the replay and then fell asunder. I had him @66/1. My greatest gambling loss.

otherwise known as a concertina

Indeed, the result of the final will have as big an impact as anything else on the makeup of the team with the winners getting 7 or 8 of the spots and the losrers 3 or 4. The likes of Bugler and Donnelllan wouldn’t gotten All Stars last year if Cork had won the replay
