Hopefully Mike Casey will be ok. If not Sean Finn will be full back. Not sure where the idea of Dan full back as I don't ever remember JK trying him there. Am I wrong? It's a huge blow if MC is out but I'd be sticking to using specialist corner back alongside Sean if it is the case. I had great visions of Case v Fennelly this year. One of the few that could contain him. On another note I hear we gave Wexford a serious trouncing two weeks ago. Beat them by 20pts apparently?? Rumour has it that it upset the Wexford camp.

Mike Casey is a massive loss which compounds the loss of Ritchie English. Condon now looks like a certainty to start in one quarter with Finn shifting to full back. I'd give serious consideration to Nash at corner back in these circumstances. I'm not a fan of Dan at full back as the history there is not great. This is a very tough blow.

Even before Richie English got injured the full backline was an area where you prayed there wouldn't be an injury. All other areas we have options if disaster strikes. Mads (Limerick) - Posts: 220 - 13/10/2020 19:09:51 2297361 Link 0 |
I would normally agree with you Dealer as regards Dan but this is going to be winter hurling and Dan won't be exposed as much for pace. Moving Dan won't weaken the half backs because of the players to come in there so I wouldn't rule out Dan as an option.

Wishing Mike Casey good news hopefully it won't be a serious injury. I still think Barry Nash could do a job for us at full back, I would prefer Sean Finn in the corner because of his man-marking ability. Dan Morrissey is the only other option for full back because I don't think Tom Condon would do there. If we are struggling for options for full back I'm sure John Kiely still has Richie McCarthy number in his phone contacts Richie is still only 32 if he is physically still able and up for it he could be an option if called upon.

I agree that Dan could do a job (and think he played there a few times in his early years on the panel), if Mike Casey is ruled out (big loss if true, and wish the best for him. I think was at full back against Tipp when he has beaten for a goal- he made a mistake or lost his footing , and here's the big BUT, Jesus and Holy Mary are the only 2 I know of who did not make 1 mistake. Dan has been a brilliant servant to Limerick since in several positions and is a quick learner. Com eOn Ye Boys in Green PatOLogical (Limerick) - Posts: 1193 - 14/10/2020 00:42:12 2297422 Link 0 |
Sur why not call in Stephen Lucey as you're at it!!! He's still playing with Croom If Mike Casey is injured Sean Finn will be full back. TC most likely at 2 and I would bet Aaron Costello at 4. Can't see Dan Morrissey in FB line. Seeking_silver (Limerick) - Posts: 294 - 14/10/2020 04:57:40 2297427 Link 0 |
Well Richie is only the same age as Reid Colin Fennelly and Joe Canning and winter hurling might actually be a help in his case

Let me also say that if Ritchie was playing last year I do not think Colin Fennelly would have caused the havoc he did.

Mike is a big loss but this squad wont take one step backwards. They are rightly favourites to win the liam mccarthy and no county wins it without injury. It's a line of the field which we would have picked last to get an injury but there are options that kiely and kinnerk will draw up. daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 495 - 14/10/2020 11:52:41 2297491 Link 0 |
Think team will lineout something like this v Clare: batman (None) - Posts: 176 - 14/10/2020 12:11:09 2297498 Link 0 |
I'd agree with that team. I think Dempsey has to start because he's form is sky high but not at the expense of any incumbents at half forward. Depth is going to be massive because of both injury and Covid risks. If you see a Limerick player in the street, walk away from him - please.

Make no mistake Casey is a big big loss. He's an understated full back with great positioning sense. Never rash in his play,measured. I think Sean Finn would do a good job there. I wouldnt like to see Richie English there even if fit. Hes a good player but not at fullback where his distribution would be more daring than Mike Caseys. He can deliver great ball from the corner but gets intercepted too which would be disastrous for a fullback. Id like to see Boylan in the corner. Find full and then Nash or English. English if match fit..my back 6. Byrnes a good sub to have bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1366 - 14/10/2020 13:01:35 2297519 Link 0 |
No need for smartness, Richie McCarthy is 32 (Tom Condon is older than him) and is only 1 season gone from inter-county hurling, Lucey must be 40 now. My point was only that IF we are short on options in the full back line, Richie McCarthy should be considered for a recall.

Yes was a bit smart. Full apology offered. I'm a massive fan of Richie BTW. However, he has retired after very little game time in 2018 & 2019 and yes I know he was injured for a year. I would be very surprised if JK calls up Richie. Tom Condon offers great experience and I would have full confidence in Costello.

Tom condon is also out injured and is a doubt for the championship. The full back line is looking very light now. If they pick up one more injury which is possible im not sure who JK will get to fill in the spots. RMC might have to be called in again even if its just for cover.

I for one would welcome Richie McCarthy being asked to fill a role. The problem is fitness. Is he fit or is the belly back. bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1366 - 15/10/2020 10:43:47 2297720 Link 0 |
I'm going to mention another name,he might lack experience but he has played very well with patrickswell,josh considine..we can name a lot of fellas on this site but it's what the manager sees in training in next 2 weeks that counts..
