Cork will be tough to beat as Clare are without Shane O'Donnell for the year. Big loss. That match could go either way.

I see Conor Cooney and David Burke are both starting for Galway vs Limerick. Cathal Mannion back from injury. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2385 - 07/03/2025 21:10:24 2595324 Link 0 |

I would have thought David might be a 20- 25 minute player at this stage of his career but this is his second start in a row I think. Conor offers more of a physical presence than Niland I suppose so I can see the thinking behind that a bit more. PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1985 - 08/03/2025 12:01:10 2595370 Link 1 |

I agree with you. I guess it will take superior players at their positions to push them out. Maybe Niland will come in late with fresh legs like Jason Flynn used to do.

You'd take superior players over inferior players any day of the week.

That was an eye opening for who is upto the standard! No. 11 took a basic free after C.Cooney was gone and the ball ended up in the River Shannon....luckily we could depend on C Mannion to score the frees. No 15 touched one ball and was subbed by half time! Big problem in the Full back line, it's only a League game but they were terrible. Alot of the Galway lads were bog standard Club level and no where near inter County intensity. It already looking like trusting the older dogs for Championship, C.Cooney, C. Mannion, J .Flynn, B. Concannon, C Whelan katser (Galway) - Posts: 2513 - 09/03/2025 12:59:29 2595525 Link 1 |

I hear you but if we keep trusting the older dogs how will the younger crowd ever develop? We will probably have this conversation 3 years from now if we don't develop replacements for the Old Guard.

Two wins against Wexford and Kilkenny who will most likely be the two relegated teams and win against the Clare "B" team with the young lads starting in all 5 games. What does it say when C Mannion comes on for 30mins and does more than what some young lads have done in 350 mis! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2513 - 09/03/2025 14:03:23 2595537 Link 0 |

I'm admittedly a football man but love Galway hurling too and for years Galway hurling seems to really struggle in the aerial duels. Last night was just painful to watch on the puck outs in particular. When have we last ruled the skies in a game or a season? Can someone explain to me why we can't claim the high ball? We were cleaned in the air last night and it's demoralising in more ways than just that singular loss of possession. Are we a county that habitually loves the nippy, wristy, low centre of gravity little minor that later gets devoured at senior level when a 6'3" athlete eats him without salt? Have we the wrong type of graduate coming through? togoutlads (Galway) - Posts: 1022 - 09/03/2025 14:29:35 2595538 Link 0 |

There were saying on rte podcast we are a massive team which was crazy. 15/18 we had a massive forward line all bar whelan well over six feet than limerick came with a whole new breed that blew that outta water. The main thing I notice is limerick are great at basics first touch ,short passes always spot on We can still new lads a try but still a case our best 4 or 5 players are from 2017 Lee at 6 and Morrissey I thought were decent. Monaghan just seemed to be lingering on edges hoping for a ball to break out to him jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1383 - 09/03/2025 14:39:43 2595542 Link 0 |
