Limerick GAA 2023 - League champions means nothing now šŸ

@Locke throwing traditional Kilkenny values like stoicism and modesty out the window here

Thereā€™s an emergency conclave after being called @locke. Theyā€™ll be with you shortly.

I think we have a chance at 4 in a row but itā€™s gonna be tough. Galway and KK will be much better this year. Clare had a lot of injuries to players last year but he looks to have developed a bit of squad depth as a result. The gap has closed significantly and any of these 3 could beat Limerick on their day.

Sure lookit, Iā€™spose that went when Cody.

Kilkenny, Cork, Tipp and Waterford are all on year one with new management. Youā€™d expect them to be a bit behind as the new ideas are implemented etc.

Clare and Galway are further ahead and we didnā€™t beat Clare in 70 minutes last year.

CIan Lynch and Peter Casey were massive losses all the same. Youā€™d think if Lynch and Casey are back and Hayes gets redeployed to wing back again weā€™ll be a better side. Itā€™s just if Clare or Galway can improve the bit extra again to challenge.

Are the Limerickā€™s still seriously counting All Irelandā€™s won in 2020 and 2021? :grimacing:

We know it would be hard for you to count multiple all irelands in a row.

A terrible waste of all those fingers

A tipp poster questioning the validity of a recent all Ireland :smiley:

How could anyone seriously count 2021?

Shur Croker wasnā€™t even a quarter full for the semi finals and the Provincial Games were even worse

No one wants you to retire from the forum mate but you can if you want to I suppose. Limerick will walk the all Ireland this year. We canā€™t really see what next year will bring, but we have at least a 50% chance of winning it next year say. So itā€™s 50/50 as to whether Limerick will win the five in a row.

That is the crux of his agitation.

Iā€™d give us a better than 50/50 chance myself with the players we have coming through but Iā€™m trying to be kind to them.

Youā€™d want 2 new lads to make a starting spot their own this year, with another 2 making real impacts off the bench.

No and 22 doesnā€™t count either as it was July and the split season, we fully accept Tipperary are the reigning champions

Iā€™d probably still give the nod to the all conquering Galway outfit of 2017 who won the last truly great Championship played in September with none of the round robin nonsense involved.

In reality none of Limerickā€™s recent All Irelandā€™s* count for much.

Ideally current panelists would stop beating people up as well
