Ah they’ve a bit to go… I think most Limerick fans would admit that… They were got at in 18 and 19… But they looked a different animal this year.

He had a cracking club championship tbf
His club form alone this year will surely earn him a recall to the panel. He’s a better hurler than Darren O’Connell and he’s just as good as Pat Ryan.
He definitely deserves a recall. Darren o connell was in cracking form for KP when they won the premier intermediate this year, he had a few good run outs int eh league and may have had game time if the round Robin went ahead. I dunno who’s better tho, both would be in an IC 26
You didnt watch the limerick county final id imagine.

Is that Kyle staying in the HB line going forward? If it wasn’t for injuries we were probably looking at Nash/Morrissey battling for the spot …all fit next year, are the two boys subs now?
Absolutely no chance he’s moved from the half back line imo unless he has a younger brother as good as him or he is cloned.
His time in the forwards was up imo. The team has evolved now.

Could see Lynch going back to midfield in place of DOD if another forward breaks through. Probably a year too soon for O’Neill
So you would judge a playing on a single match? They were blown away in the final.
Ya Graeme mul could be under pressure. He’d a subdued year and looked very frustrated coming off. He’s a lot of hurling done in the past ten years. I remember him playing in tullamore against Offaly in 2010. Himself and Cian Hayes were two of the bright sparks on a dark day.
Tommy O’Brien really stood out on that 2010 team - he was excellent.
You had David Breen, Nickie, Mul and Paul Browne go and and be regulars off it
And Richie?
he didn’t play in 2010 I’m sure he was on the panel in 2009 so wouldn’t have crossed the picket
How many knock out championship games to Kilkenny in that time? As at first glance, it reads like there has been only one knock-out game lost…
2017 qualifier below in Nowlan and the 2019 semi final
Lost two knock out games so. And lost to Clare in the Munster Championship in 2017. Drew a few games during his time. Did they lose to Clare in 2018? Think so…
The old knock out game thing is a bit of a red herring in this instance, you can only lose one knockout game in any year,
that’s not to take from any achievement before I get the usual bluster.

I think the crux of the argument is they’ve only been knocked out by Kilkenny although I’m not making it so can’t defend it.
They lost to Clare in 2018 yeah and drew with Cork

I think that Limerick should be setting their sights higher than the KK team we’ve been looking at since 2012.
