Found out since, its a full time role alright, and will have 4 full time staff working under him.
Cian OâNeill has left the Tipperary management set up
Clinton Hennessey has retired from I/C hurling
Thats funny, I could have sworn he retired 5 minutes into the Munster Final.
Do Waterford have anyone else to come in and jump out of the way of the ball?
Two potenially very good keepers there in OâKeefe and Power i believe
O Keeffe looked very suspect in the league against KK last year and Power looked capable of anything against Clare in that Munster Final in Dungarvan. [quote=âchewy louie, post: 593896â]

Benny Dunne has retired
retired?
you retire from your career not your hobby-he has given up
Really? What age is he?
Why do you still bother? Come on mate, weâve all moved on.

Top 20 scorers from play since 2004
6:08 pm 30.Sep.2011
I was asked on [color="#225588"]Twitter today whether John Mullane is close to becoming the all-time top scorer from play in championship hurling. Unfortunately I donât have all the records to answer that question definitively. What I can say is the Mullane is the top scorer from play since 2004. The top 20 scorers from play for the past 8 championship seasons are:[list=1]

Another cut at this data is to look at the average points from play per game. Below is the list of top 20 scorers from play ordered by the average number of points per game. Players who played less than 10 games are excluded:[list=1]

Either way you look at it, impressive scoring by the De La Salle man.
looks like waherfurd havenât a proverbial pot at this stage:
http://www.gaa.ie/gaa-news-and-videos/daily-news/3/1810110750-ryan-handed-waterford-reins/1/
Speaking after his appointment, Ryan said his first priority is to a greater level of consistency to Waterford hurling.
âWe havenât been good enough, there is no point in saying otherwise,â he said.
âWe have to improve our hurling, we have to improve our team-work, we have got to improve our strength and conditioning.
âAbove all, we have to improve our mindset. There is no doubt about that.
I wonder what this lad will be like? Very mixed reports about him. I would have thought Jason Ryan and a couple of coaches from their underage system would have been the way too go for them.
Jason didnât want to leave Wexford as far as I know
That Pat Flanagan theyâre bringing in is a very highly rated physical coach. He was involved with the Kerry teams under Jack OâConnor and the players would give him a lot of credit for the All Irelands they won. From an athletics background I think.
Cha has left the Kilkenny panel on account of Brian Cody being a bollix
Has there ever been a comparable âfall from graceâ in hurling of football chewy ie fella who was that good retiring that young without a career ending injury? Donât have a clue of the background but to go from being a three time all Star and All Ireland winning captain to being retired at 26 must be fairly unique.
wouldnât be surprised if Anthony Daly comes calling.He has worked the oracle at resurrecting a few intercounty careers already.Cha is working in Dublin and it wouldnât take much to get him firing again.Sound aul skin is cha and itâd be a shame not to see him in action again.
