I think OāNeill has a lot of ability but he cannot tackle and gives away 2-3 frees most games when he plays and is probably a red card waiting to happen.
Thereās no badness in him (unlike a lot of his teammates), but you can see why Kiely doesnāt really trust him and only plays him when thereās someone else missing.
Iād say itās more because heās a young player trying to break into the best half forward line of all time. Give him a break mate.
David Reidy started the All Ireland Final ahead of him.
Limerick have used a load of different fellas at Centre Forward in the last few years so thereās been a spot there for him.
Heās getting better and better every year. be grand.
Thatās all you can ask from him.
TJ Reid wasnāt an automatic starter either and look at the career he had.
He didnāt really get going til he was 26 or 27. Callan the same. On current trajectory CON is probably ahead of the two of them.
Heād have been an automatic starter for any other team in the country.
Heāll have finally made it when heās not sent out to do the promo shoot for the Munster League standing next to some Clare midget.
Wouldnāt you love to know
I do know. I think 
Heās only the 3 AI medals at 21, scoring in 2 finals, donāt be worrying yourself the kid will be all right.
That is going back a long time. Iāve heard it before but just canāt remember.
Jumbo the Elephant
Was he wristy?
And across the All Ireland Semi Finals and Finals in those three seasons , heās never started a game and his total minutes played just about adds up to one half of hurling.
Like I said heās got ability and will turn out to be a fine player no doubt but thereās no point overegging things either.
Heās the ability to be next Joe canning. His ball striking from distance is off the charts.
Heās only 21. Most lads arenāt making it till 23 now and heās trying to break into one of the best teams of all time.
Heās going to absolutely tear teams apart.
He is no Jason Forde ā¦
Stop that now. I hear Jason Forde is shaping up to have an excellent league
