Rte reporting Barry Nash ruled out of game with hamstring injury ,bad news for us as he's a huge loss Knockfiarna (Limerick) - Posts: 24 - 02/07/2024 14:15:19 2556530 Link 0 |
Huge loss, but I suppose next man up has to be the mantra. Finn back in (with Casey switching is sides) the likely option. Richie English is back fit also but it would be a lot to ask of him to put him back in, with no game in nearly 12 months.

Wouldn't take any notice,real Limerick fans know what cork are capable of,think we will win but expect huge performance from cork and wouldnt be surprised if cork beat us,looking forward to a great game.

Is he definitely injured or is this just being picked up from social media. I haven't seen any official source yet. I'm hoping this is just a rumour. If he is out he will be a big loss as we have no direct replacement i.e. a playmaker who gets up and down the field and has very high levels of fitness which is vital against Cork but as John Kiely would say its the next man up and away you go. Can always make some little tweaks to compensate, like Kyle Hayes could be given more license to push on if he knows there is corner back who is just going to sit in behind him and not look to overlap.

Nash would be a huge loss if out. Sean Finn is a different type of player and doesn't get forward as much so would effect Limerick's game plan. I would think JK may bring Flanaghan back in for O'Brien although O'Brien hasn't put a foot wrong but Flanaghan has the experience of big games in Croke Park. journeyman (Limerick) - Posts: 137 - 03/07/2024 13:49:57 2556736 Link 0 |
Biggest loss is in the last 15 mins of the games when things open up. Nash usually comes in to his own at this stage and gets on a lot of ball and he has the fitness and speed to keep going until the end. I agree with what you say that a tweak to the game plan might be required and also Flanagan has to start imo as he has always played well against Cork. The bigger question for me is, will DOD start and who gets dropped to the bench. Hard to see CON getting left out of starting 15 and Reidy has had a great year too. Interesting headache for management team. If DOD starts could CON play the Peter Casey role. CON, Cian Lynch and Reidy are all interchangeable.

I think its likely Cork will struggle in Croke Park. The pressure on them to perform must be immense given they beat ye in Munster. The day Limerick bang over all the shots ye take some team will take a hammering and I just feel that Cork may be that team. JahTribe (Galway) - Posts: 155 - 03/07/2024 15:47:41 2556765 Link 0 |

Someone should tell him the Cork virus was before the Dublin Match.

Possibly but this is what I heard on the ground in the rebel county earlier in the week...

Maybe so, and we'll find out very soon. I think it's more likely that a humdinger of a game is in store. If Ethan Twomey starts, he will marshal Cian Lynch as in last game, allowing Rob Downey or Joyce to sit back in pocket. Barrett vs Hannon is crucial, and Cork have an inside line who can do damage. Darragh Donovan back, is a big plus for Limerick. Eoin Downey vs Flanagan is another matchup, with the Bull coming on, as well as the old foes O' Donoghue and Gillane. Playing to a packed Croker, this game is pick of the 2 semifinals! We're just glad to be there!

Reidy most likely to lose out if DOD is to start. It will all depend on who has been showing the best form in training. JK has generally kept the team the same as the last match and players coming back from injury having to start on the bench but given the month break he may go on form in training. I'd expect the team to be N.Quaid S. Finn D.Morrisey M.Casey D. Byrnes D. Hannon K.Hayes DOD WOD G Hegarty C.Lynch T.Morrisey A.Gillane S.Flanagan CONeill journeyman (Limerick) - Posts: 137 - 04/07/2024 14:33:49 2556913 Link 0 |
"...this game is pick of the 2 semifinals!" Why? One of the teams are well odds-on favourites to win. Whereas, in the Kilkenny v Clare semi-final, there is nothing to choose between them. Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2643 - 04/07/2024 16:16:16 2556928 Link 0 |
Darragh won't start...if all going well he'll get 10 or 15 mins...be primed for the Final

Barry is a huge loss but isn't it great to have a replacement like seanie..best of luck to all involved and hopefully the 5 in a row stays alive. CTGAA10 (Limerick) - Posts: 2329 - 05/07/2024 10:53:20 2557027 Link 1 |
Isn't it a formidable full back line all the same. I mean Casey, Morrissey and then Sean Finn of all people as backup.. Please God no more injuries though !! skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1103 - 05/07/2024 11:34:02 2557037 Link 0 |
For once I agree with you. Hopefully two good games but Limerick are hot favourites over Cork. Very little between Clare and KK but I'd be expecting the cats to come through by virtue of the fact they improve a bit with every game and are very at home in croke park.

One of the pundits on Newstalk made a good point on this saying Cork are one of the few teams that play 3 up top so Limerick forced to play with an orthodox full back line who will sit and mark may not be the worst thing. Nash without doubt is a loss but I'll stick on the positive side and the gameplan will be tweaked as required.
