Munster SHC 2021

He does but it is the complete package which is the game winner.

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

Gleeson’s issue is his concentration. I saw it in the 2017 final. He was absolutely everywhere the ball wasn’t.

[Your_Mums_Athletic]

He is far too slow in doing things these days, getting mugged for the ball constantly, it is a huge issue for Cahill, I would play him in wing forward, if he performs all well and good if not just bench the lad.

@Your_Mums_Athletic

He does not have the same pace or physical strength of Hayes who could be a generational wing back by the time he is finished.

Agreed he might not have the same impact as Hayes in terms of power and pace, Aussie is no slouch however and perhaps he can still be effective in that role, can probably pick points at distance better also

[ousmanedembele]

I think they already have two terrific options for that attacking half back role in Lyons and Bennett.

I’d prefer to use Gleeson as a forward if I were Cahill.

[AlanHQ]

Shane Bennett would be a much better halfback than Ozzie. No sign of Colm and Shane Roche? Two serious hurlers well upto standard.

@Batigol

Whilst we are picking teams I’d go for:

1. Stephen O’Keefee (Waterford)
2. Sean Finn (Limerick)
3. Mike Casey (Limerick)
4. Cathal Barrett (Tippeary)
5. Tadhg De Burca (Waterford)
6. Declan Hannon (Limerick)
7. Kyle Hayes (Limerick)
8. Jaime Barron (Waterford)
9. Cian Lynch (Limerick)
10. Tony Kelly (Clare)
11. Asutin Gleeson (Waterford)
12. Gearoid Hegarty (Limerick)
13. Aaron Gillane (Limerick)
14. Stephen Bennett (Waterford)
15. Patrick Horgan (Cork)

Didn’t include Seamie Callanan as he hasn’t been at his best for a while. He’d be an automatic starter if he got back to form. Same with Bubbles O’Dwyer or Seamus Harnedy

Nicky Quaid has to be in the nets

[anon76546466]

@AlanHQ

No sign of Colm and Shane Roche?

Agreed, two lads I had forgotten about and fantastic hurlers also. Ml Harney is another I thought would have been given a chance.

Bumped for @Big_Dan_Campbell

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

@rocko merge the two please.

I believe that both Fives and Prunty went off injured last week with quad injuries. Both will be cutting it fine for the Clare match but a risk will probably be taken given that they probably don’t have any other options for full back. David Mcinerney and his groin strain will probably keep him out while id say Aaron Fitz is gone for the year given the short length of the championship. But given Waterford are already down O’Keefe and De Burca from last year I think to lose Prunty would be massive.

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

Is there a thread already for this?

Gets underway next weekend with Waterford v Clare in Thurles.

Given Waterford’s defensive injuries and absentees I give us a right good chance to cause an upset here.

[Elvis_Brandenberg_Kr]

There’s already a thread for this.

[myboyblue]

Great thread.

[Ashman]

Clare will be in the Munster final

[Watchyourtoes]

Be far from an upset Clare will beat both Waterford and then Tipp to reach the Munster final, the first game is the harder one too.

[Batigol]

There’s a thread for this

[dodgy_keeper]

If Waterford are missing Prunty, Gleeson and Fives - together with O’Keeffe and TDB - Clare won’t have a better chance to beat them.

What way has this been priced up?

[EstebanSexface]

8/13 the blahs
13/8 the banjoes

[Ashman]

Is the game in thurles or cork ??

[EstebanSexface]

Thurles 3.30pm. Sunday June 27th
