Cunningham playing the cute hoor again this year, naming dummy teams and not revealing his hand. Risky strategy. Can work well or can go totally wrong like last year or Dublin 2 years ago. Shows an inferiority complex I think. Iâd love if Galway just went out and tried to win all their matches some year. They might suprise themselves and win something. They have the hurlers
I think Galway will be very strong, need to get Joe to 14 and that leaves issue re what to do with Glynn, Niall Burke looks like a man ready for a big summer and Cathal Mannion looks a nice find. Defence also looks set, might lack the scoring spread up from but if those 2 take off they are really well positioned
Tipp look to be aiming to win the League. Cork should be happy enough. When they turned it on they roasted Tipperary. Time to prepare for Waterford, get a game under their belt while Clare are hanging around searching for form and then a Munster final against Tipp who Cork never fear
in Leinster it will be tough for Dublin as Kilkenny look switched on again this year. Galway as ever are an unknown quantity - they seem to lack the killer instinct and let the game yesterday drift away when they probably could have won it.
This is probably Dublinâs last go under Daly and anything less than an AI final a step back and the end of Daly and this group of players.
A lot to look forward to as any of Tipp, Kilkenny, Galway, Dublin, Clare and Cork and even Limerick could beat each other on a given day.

Tipp look to want to win the league alright. Thatâs why they qualified for the quarter final by a single point
Look at you reappearing as soon as Tipp look to be back winning waysâŚ
Yep once they reached knock out games they look to have tapered training and focus on winning it. Other teams donât look as pushed particularly Galway and Cork given they are playing in championship early this year
Tipp celebrated beating Cork a little bit too much.
When is Tipperaryâs first Championship game

Early June
Checked and it is 1 June v Limerick.
League Final is 4th May. Assume players go back to clubs for a week after and a week or two to prepare for final beforehand it means championship preparation/heavy training is missed. Easy to get ambushed by a well prepared team although unlikely that will be Limerick.

We will murder the cunts on the field and in the stands.
The emergence of Cooney as a central figure head is encouraging.
Canning is carrying an injury and really shouldnât have played yesterday from what I hear. Silly if true.
2 dead and six missing after the Clare hurlers 4am run up cratloe this morning.
One was reportedly run over by Davy in a tank, and another severely bitten by the hounds that were chasing them.
Another tripped over and broke his arm while trying to change the picture on the whatsapp group during the run.

It wasnât just a run, there was a real purpose about it.
They were training on the edge (of a cliff).
oops
Making predictions on sporting events on an INTERNET forum is a bit like football management. When youâve as much credit built up as I do, you can afford the odd trifling reverse.
So the when all is said and done, Is general consensus that both Tipp and KK now enter the championship with a false sense of security?
Thatâs every year for Tipperary.
Tipp maybe. Not sure their game works if we have another warm summer and dry fast pitches.
Kilkenny are the team to beat like every year. Michael Myers in Halloween comes to mind. No team will ever fancy playing Kilkenny.
It is shaping up to be another great year - any one of Clare, Cork, Tipp, Kilkenny, Galway and Dublin will feel like they can win it and we might get a shock result or two although Waterford and Limerick seem to have pushed self destruct button.

Sorry pal, how the fuck did you manage to introduce Michael Myers to this?
Michael Myers is never dead or killed off.
When Galway hammered Kilkenny two years ago it was only towards the end that Galway people relaxed - any other team would have been dead and buried but people expect Kilkenny to come back again and again.
