Iād pick Peter Casey over OāBrien for the Peter Casey role.

Is The Bull your man crush chief?

The Darragh OāDonovan pissed up interview was the worst thing that happened to Shane OāBrien
He could be a fine player but heās the furthest thing from a player youād call a Bull until he starts taking on his man and being more direct, heās more likely to score running away from the goal
Itās a bit of a shit nickname and fans would do him a favour to just call him by name.

Iām a big Bull fan and for different reasons Iād advocate playing him. But a Munster Final is the last place to be developing players. We were starved for the MF for the bones of 20 years between mid 90s and late 2010s. The league is for developing players. The Munster final is for winning.
I wouldnāt agree with that but i would pick Peter Casey over the bull for the bull role.
People here are completely wrong on the Bull. Heās a special talent with all the attributes to be top class.
He hit 0-9 from play across first two games when we were missing AG.
He was dropped before munster final last year and came on after half time when AOC was very quiet and scored 1-2, set up scores and won what should have been the winning free.
He gave Adam Hogan a good roasting in 2024 munster final before being dropped (again unfairly) for Flanagan in AI semi against cork.
Heās a history of being unfairly dropped imo.
22 years old & the top scorer from play in club championship and fitzgibbon cup last season.

This is it, if you combined AOC and SOB youād have the best hurler going. SOB is a bigger operator but hasnāt the sharpness of AOC. AOC will never relish high ball or a physical contest like SOB. SOB needs to move a bit more though, but heās new and probably conserving himself a small bit.
SOB has the higher ceiling hurlingistically as like Gillane, if he sharpens his hurling on the deck, he can do it any way. SOB will never be as sharp or as nice a hurler as AOC, but Gillaneās career shows thatās not what itās about. They canāt afford to alienate or discount OāBrien as he could be another Gillane or Hegarty, AOC canāt be thatvand will never lead an attack for Limerick. OāBrien potentially can. but AOC is a beautiful hurler.
SOB played a challenge with OLG KK a few years ago and he was so dominant they were govsmacked I heard. OLG went on to the club final. SOB is pure blue chipper, heās just coming from the environment where heās naturally dominant to where he has to figure stuff out.

Thereās nothing wrong with having a lad who can impact off the bench either.
The whole system this year is to isolate gillane inside wan on wan. The other corner forwards play withdrawn roles. Two Peter Casey roles even.
It doesnāt suit the bull to play that role. He needs to play the gillane role. Which he did very well in gillanes absence. Tis going to be all out war below in the Pairc on Sunday. Bringing him on against a tired Cahalane or whoever and he will do damage

I wouldnāt really agree with that at all. OāConnor is a big man and well able to mix it.
Big without being dominant and his inclination is to finish moves to me bar when he has it physically on his man. I think heās Jason Forde but with way higher ceiling and physical tools. Heās brilliant. Youād build any other team around him. Maybe Limerick are.
I was surprised when AOC got the call ahead of SOB in the Munster Final last year but I was down his end and he was making some great runs and a couple of shots didnt go over. He can grab a low ball quickly and turn too. If SOB can work on the movement and getting on low ball and turning, he could be unreal as he has the talent
Someone made a right fuck up of the clubs 
Good genetics in that group. Present in a lot of the current crop

Mike Galligan was a lovely hurler.
Pretty sure that was the day that Paul Flynn announced himself onto the big stage
Cork won the senior match handy enough, it was the last good day out for a few warriors
Hahahahaha those clubs
