Limerick in second gear. No Lynch, Casey still recovering. Kyle with an injection just before throw in. Gillane on one leg. … And still, it was never in doubt.

@Thomas_Brady

Kyle with an injection just before throw in

HGH?

[StoneCold]

It’s gonna be a long winter…

[Heyyoubehindthebushes]

I imagine some fellas will beedthe bus to 5b when thelimericks win 4 in a row

[Thomas_Brady]

I accept your surrender.

The tinfoil is circling

[glasagusban]

A great player, but if you had to choose between them it’s Hayes.

[dodgy_keeper]

Can you imagine Paudie running half the length of the field from wing back, leaving a heap of Limerick defenders in his wake before burying it to the back of the net at a crucial stage in a scorching Munster final?

No, didn’t think so.

He’d have caught the ball alright, before winning a free after throwing himself to the ground.

[glasagusban]

It’s not fair to compare Hannon to Paudie really. Paudie was never really a centre back, wing back is his position and he was a great wing back. Hannon is the best centre centre back of his era.

@glasagusban

A great player, but if you had to choose between them it’s Hayes.

I’m curious, in what scenario are you having to choose between these two hurlers?

[peddlerscross]

The Limerick’s have chosen a bizarre battle here.

[glasagusban]

He might have langered a rocket over his shoulder either for Callanan to latch onto, but you’re right, he couldn’t do what Hayes can do. If you were to choose a composite team then Hayes and Paudie are competing for the same position and there’s only one choice.

[Thomas_Brady]

Limerick, Limerick, Limerick

[TreatyStones]

Thats what they get for playing games in August

[the_man_himself]

Hayes has played 2 seasons in the backs and both of those with the old system so hasn’t played many games there at all really to judge

[glasagusban]

That’s a fair point really.

The winter blitz

Galloping up the field in front of 2 men and a dog in Pairc Ui Chaoimh last year.

[Aertel220]

1. Quaid
2. Finn
3. Ronan Maher
4. Barrett
5. Pádraic Maher
6. Declan Hannon or Ronan Maher. Edging it towards Hannon but hard to leave Maher out all the same.
7. Diarmuid Byrnes
8. Brendan Maher
9. Cian Lynch
10. Hegarty
11. Kyle Hayes
12. Noel McGrath
13. Lar Corbett
14. Seamus Callinan
15. Aaron Gillane

Just threw that together there and I’ve probably forgotten a host of Hall of Famers. I’ll need to appoint a few selectors to help me decide between Bubbles and TM. Bonner Maher unlucky to miss the cut too.

I’d choose a prime Cummins ahead of Quaid. But Cummins prime was probably early to mid 00’s I suppose. 2003 when he made that trio of saves against Kilkenny was iconic.

Edit: Ronan Maher is too good to leave out. We’ll fit him in at full-back.

[neilld]

Cummins was dropped over his puck outs once wasn’t he.

Noel McGrath is the big one, fitting him in.

Bubbles is a fantastic player but Tom Morrisey is a monster and can take a score as well as most. Was off on that side of things this season but still had a solid year.
