Fair play to him, not many lads would convert to the Muslim religion while living in China

Time for an……

Great to see Little Richie commit for another year. You’d wonder what’s in it for him at this stage but the Championship will be all the better.

One of the best to ever do it.

Did he say how’s the back?

Yea it seems to be crocked but he’s at peace with that.

He’s on my all time KK team. A gent with strong Callan links.

Seriously?

Name 6 better forwards?

Eddie Keher, Billy FitzPatrick, Richie Power, Henry Shefflin, DJ Carey, Eoin Larkin, TJ Reid. There’s 6 and one for luck just off the top of my head.

Really? Will it? He’s a non entity now. It’s not 2014 any more.

He was a great player, certainly not in the conversations for the best ever KK player, he’d struggle to be justifiably named on a best ever KK fifteen. Not to mind “one of the best ever”

But carry on Buff :+1:

Very suspect temperament too.

You just don’t get it. I suppose Limerick people think hurling was only invented in 2018.

Richie has an aura about him. A Kilkenny match that he’s playing in feels that bit more of an occasion than when Cody sends out some of those nobodies that can currently constitute a Kilkenny forward line.

In fairness he was a great man to do a cameo where he’d drop into a pocket of space left by a deep lying centre back and he could knock over 4 or 5 points before the defect was cured.

And that’s hurling for you…

He didn’t have a fraction of the aura of King Henry or DJ

Hogan is better than Billy Fitz and Richie Power. Power was excellent but was dogged by injuries. Hogan won a HOTY and always had the X Factor.
