ps isn't it fantastic to have hurling back, even if the games are crap?
have had three sunday's out of the last four out in the fresh air watching below-par inter-county fixtures that are still more entertaining than any premiership game.
yep, got my first smell of summer yesterday with the hurlin and a decent bit of weather.
I wonder about John O'Brien. He did well when he came on, but I've seen him hurl as many bad games as good to know hes not gonna be the player that Tipp can place their hopes on. Its something about Toome players. Exceptional at club level but struggled to carry it through. Tommy Dunne excepted of course.
I think Corbett's playing well will be more important. I agree with your siting of him on the half-forward line. But hes too inconsistent. He has potential to beat teams on his own when he gets going, but he rarely delivers fully on what he promises.
The day I see Liam Sheedy giving either Ryan O'Dwyer or Micheal Webster another Tipp jersey is the day I'll write off their chances for the year. Tipp are developing a pool of 'hurlers' to choose from in the forwards. They don't need big lads. Unless Daragh Egan decides to get his finger out of his hole that is.
Bourke will be gone once Eoin Kelly returns. Its his frees keeping him there at the minute.
Also, I think Tipp are in trouble for a keeper once Cummins goes. Kennedy hasn't enough presence about him. A fine keeper, but he doesn't really inspire confidence the way Cummins does.
