Realistically we are miles behind Cork, we are averaging 9 pts per game and can't manage to keep 15 players on the field at any one time, Cork are averaging double that. Division 3 is our level right now, Cork are a Division 2 team at the very least.

Yeah sadly its true. Every dog has its day though. I dont know how its gone so wrong for us. We had a promising group of young players a few years ago

It's hard to keep momentum when we constantly lose any quality players we have, o Riordan, acheson and quinliven. How would we be if we still had all 3? Nobody knows.

Whatever chance we had of regaining promotion to division 2 was gone when Quinliven went travelling (and fair play to him for living his life)

I've heard from around town that this will probably be sweeneys last season too

100kph winds being forecast for Galway on Sunday afternoon. A reasonable chance that the match will be called off.

Been wondering about this alright. I'd love to go to cheer the lads on but Pearse Stadium is not a nice place to be when the weather is bad.

HQ have no role, unless they are cancelling all matches across the board which was never going to happen. If all games were called off 24 hours in advance because of a weather warning we would never get any competition finished ever.

spot on. Has to be exceptionally bad either the pitch pr in very extreme situations if pitch Is ok the roads nearby for a game to be postponed. All too often especially at club level in the gaa games are postponed far too easily/quickly.

ran into darragh Egan in Nenagh today. He was saying tipp been training 5 days a week recently so are in catch up as they're doing so much heavy work that others will have done earlier in the season.. so priorities are elsewhere for now. Will be interesting when they change that up as that's a lot of work to be doing on top of the games.

Based on last year i would have expected to see a lot more of Ger Browne in the league, anyone know if he's been injured?
Also any news on why Brian McGrath hasn't had a run? Not convinced he has the speed for intercounty but would like to see him get a run

I saw Ger at the county semi final last year with a cast on his leg.

Seems very similar to last year with the younger lads seemingly not stepping up.

I would be worried about a few of the younger labs, there's a few of them light and small and against the likes of Galway and limerick they'd be eaten up.

Is Gerry Kelly in the squad?

The Harty Cup Final has fallen victim to the weather. I can't see the match going ahead in Salthill tomorrow. Could it be moved to an alternative pitch?

Not sure what sheedys approach is. I get impression, looking back to first time around as well, that young lads will get the chance but they have to earn it. He wont just throw a bunch of them in just for the sake of being blooded. Hard to know what goes on around the squad and behind closed doors in training, but thats just feeling i get.

Nevertheless, both cadell and kehoe look proper senior players and darcy could be a useful addition too. Realistically 4 or 5 is as many as you could expect new any year and i still think there's time for the likes of browne, b's McGrath and omara to put their hands up yet.

Complete and utter nonsense. It is no secret there is a massive storm coming. It was forecast the middle of this week. People are travelling up to see the game. the two teams are going out in absolutely terrible conditions. Dublin v Carlow tonight was shocking and this was pre storm

The league is a nothing competition at the end of the day. Safety of players and those who contribute toward the coffers should be paramount.

and it was. You still have to see what impact will occur the day of the game. I was at several games in galway yesterday and both had inspections in hours prior to start. You cant just call games off day beforehand unless it's very clear game wouldnt be played so unless you were in galway yesterday how do you know?
The league isnt a nothing competition and that attitude really should be changing more.

For many Season Ticket holders from South Tipp like myself, Galway is an overnight stay (well i could drive up and back on the day but quite frankly that would be tough going). On Friday it was forecast that Galway (as it tends to always do) will take an almighty battering.

It was no shock storm. it was talked about all week.

Not stepping up??? Were you at the last game? Kehoe had an outstanding game, Darcy was fantastic and so was Caddell. Jake who was excellent against Limerick bagged himself at least two points. What more can they do in winter???

I spent all of Saturday in galway and outside at that. At a few rugby games and a soccer match. They were right to wait until Sunday morning to call it.
It's still only 2.5 to 3 hours drive and for a 2pm theow in. Wouldnt have to be overnight at all.

Yeah we've had some good performances but I think the younger lads still have plenty to do if they want to start on May 10th. I expected a few more of them would have got an opportunity. Its clear that opportunities won't arrive unless they're doing it in training.

It's a tough 5 hour round trip in total in particularly bad driving conditions.

Tbf it is quite hard at this time of year due to college hurling ongoing as well for younger players. Now that its finished may give the lads time to focus more with the county teams.

From our opening two games the things that stick out to me that we need improving in are:

1. Lock down first choice No.3 and No.4. Need to get cohesion in the back, arguably the reason we lost our last two games was poor goals conceded by Tipp mistakes, particularly vs Limerick.

2. We need better puck out strategies. This isn't helped by our half forward line being very static for puck outs. Need lads moving forward to attack the ball or running to the sides to create space. Standing up trying to catch 1 on 1 with a defender has a poor return rate.

3. Stop hitting the ball in high to the full forward line. You really notice Noel McGraths absence on the team as this is our default option.

We haven't been playing particularly badly and I'm happy to get game time into the younger players, but you would like to see mamagememt try something new with these issues before the league is out.

No. 3 looks fairly locked down at the moment to Ronan Maher. Not ideal IMO, such a class hurler, would love to be able to have him on the half back line.

The women are improving all the time at Senior. Put the All ireland champs to the pin of their collar a few weeks ago. A far different proposition to what they were in 2018. Far more balanced and experienced at Senior level now. A team that is going places.

Don't know if its that locked down but i wont be too distraught if it is as Ronan has all the qualities to my mind to be an excellent full back. But i agree it would be preferable to have him farther out, there's a bit of robbing Peter to pay Paul about it. He's the best distributor of a ball we have* and ideally no.6 should be his position.

*that should really read "after noel..."

Id say Barry Heffernan and Ronan will alternate at full back depending on who they are tasked to mark.

I honestly dont think we've had as competitive a panel or at least not in my living memory. Westside is normally a sharp observer on the hurling scene but he made an unfair comparison a while back where he suggested the minor class of 2016 and 2012 werent as good as those of 06/07 due to the fact they didnt break onto the team immediately.

This is as much to do with the crop from 06/07 being exceptionally good, but also not having existing players of the same standard to oust all due respect to them. The panel is a far different animal to get onto today although having said that, hurling is at its most all time competitiveness.

to be fair the class of minor and u21 in the last 7 years has been pretty strong , its probably the best tipperary panel i have seen the only difference is the other teams are stronger then say mid 2000s or early 90s , and not to mention limerick and the best manager in the country in john kiely

Noels vision and just pure skill to pick out a pass is unrivalled. His vision and pass to Bubbles for the goal v Cork, the ball to Callinan for the goal v Laois and tonnes more etc.
But in terms of delivering 80 yard diagonal ball, Ronan is just different gravy, he can flick the wrists on his left or right and deliver a just above head high diagonal ball perfectly into the forwards, not to mention his long range scoring ability and sidelines.
It makes him an ideal candidate for receiving short puck outs from the keeper, but I expect teams to close that down during the championship. He is the last fellow of the 6 backs you want delivering ball to the forwards.

My favourite from last year, v Clare i think, was picking ball up on edge of his own square and picking out ronan (i think) in middle of field and ball over the bar. Phenomenonal touch and vision.

Couldn't agree more on ronan. Can imagine as a forward you're just buzzing when he has the ball, anticipating where to make your run. Two all irelands and still just 23 i think. Actually scaring myself a bit thinking how good he might become.

One good thing is i think we are far better placed this year in terms of squad development than 2017. Apart from Jason we didnt really get any new blood and whole thing felt a bit flat. Niall omeara too i suppose, not sure was that his first year, but likes of Sean Curran, Tomas Hamill were just a small bit off the required standard. On paper at least there will be a lot more competition, no room whatsoever for complacency.

Jason Forde played in the 2016 final and was on the panel since 2013.

And it's easy say now that it was flat, the reality is that we were beaten by a single wonder score by the AI champions.

Right, the point still stands. There was very little new blood added in 2017, for whatever reasons, and we were flat all summer, never came near the standard or fluency of the previous year, regardless of what happened in sf. So I'm just saying on paper tipp are better placed now for a title defence than 3 years ago. On paper! Other side of coin it's without question a more competitive field so we simply have to be.

I fully agree that the actual results are secondary but I think it's a little bit OTT to decree the entire competition as meaningless. The final defeats in 2017/18 certainly didnt help Tipp and left their mark.

I think the effort we put into both leagues combined with our training programme is what fecked Tipp in 17 and 18. Sheedy got the balance spot on last year. Come summer we were hopping off the sod.

If we're counting lads who were on the panel but didn't play in an All Ireland then Tipp would also have John O'Keeffe and Mikey Heffernan off the 06 team.
