The league's a good opportunity to get a settled 1st team and also give 1st choice subs game time. There's not enough time for too much experimenting. Although Cathal O'Neill is some prospect and someone who should get game time.

There are a few key positions I would love to see some options tried just in case of injuries

Saw Shane Dowling a couple of weeks ago on crutches, Jesus that lad has had it tough.

I haven't seen a panel anywhere but presume he's on it. He's young, don't know if he'll get Gametime this year what with the lack of games this year.

Is it true Paddy O Loughton is gone off the panel??

I wonder how Limerick's second 15 would get on in the Championship

Probably would lose the All Ireland final narrowly to Limerick's first 15?

I think yere getting a bit carried away there thinking like that and hope the team aren't thinking along those lines.Im a Limerick supporter and love to see em doing well but as John Kiely said today on any given day there's 4 or 5 teams capable of beating each other and I doubt the Limerick 2nd 15 was included in that

Yeah, hate to see that sort of nonsense talk tbh. We were down long enough, we should know better than to be getting that carried away. I'm still in dreamland tbh, over what the team has achieved.

Hard to imagine it's that open since one team has won two of the last three. Do you think John Kiely really believes that?

whether he does or not I don't know but its the right thing to say,and yes while Limerick are favourites and rightly so I wouldn't be shouting it from the roof tops as someone else said there we had enough disappointments over the years so wouldn't be getting ahead of myself

This answers the question.

It is though. Limerick v Galway semi-final was level at 70 mins last year. Lost to Kilkenny the the year before. The idea there's some massive gulf between Limerick and the other sides is just internet nonsense talk, imo.

Yeah, all on paper might be clear cut but it’s been a while since a repeat winner and who knows what the weather, an injury, a red card can throw at you

breezy1985

Can we not just have a bit of fun with it though while the going is good.

Cork and Kilkenny don't sit round like quiet little mice when they win so maybe putting the chest out and being confident is good for Limerick. Now I don't expect Kiely to say anything other than what he is saying but we are just some lads on a forum not the Limerick manager so can we not just be allowed to take the pi$$ a little

Ironically you took the GAA infrastructure thread far to seriously.

I thought I was trying to come across as the guy who doesn't like to moan and complain about every little thing the GAA does. I do love talking about stadiums though so maybe I got a bit excited

Yerra, we can of course but talk of Limerick's second team is fool talk, imo. There's taking the piss and there's making yourself look like an idiot, occasionally a subtle difference (in my case, at any rate...)...

Who said there was a massive gulf between anyone? You're answering a point that was never made

The point at issue was John Kiely's claim that there are 4 or 5 teams capable of beating each other seems to be fantasy given that the same team has won two of the last three.

It's as the other poster said "the right thing to say" but nobody believes it.

Cork? When did they win? Hard to remember what they were like.

Meh, I've seen Limerick lose enough in my life to believe it. I honestly think we could be beaten by Tipperary, Cork, Kilkenny and (most probably) Galway. I don't think we'd definitely lose to any of them but if we lost to them I wouldn't be shocked. Likewise, I think Waterford or Clare could catch us on their day. The Galway and Cork matches since 2018 have been very tight.

Limerick, Tipp, Galway and Waterford, Kilkenny even Cork would all fancy themselves if they played one another. You don't think Galway could beat Limerick after putting them to the pin of their collar last year, did you even watch the game?
This is one of those peculiar things where other countries try to make out one county is sure of winning, then when they lose they can say 'sure they were certain they only had to turn up', seen it often with Clare and Limerick, Clare like to make out that Limerick were sure they were going to win but took them down a notch, in fairness it's the same for Limerick against Tipp, we love saying Tipp underestimated us but we suprised them.

Hang on a minute the original question was how would the Limerick 2nd 15 get on in the Championship.Your answer was they'd probably loose the final narrowly to the first team.To me that implies we have the 2 best teams in the country which means there must be a massive gulf between us and the rest does it not???

Nobody believes it???? I do and most hurling people I know do too. Are we in a good position? Of course we are but things can change fast I hope you're back on here in a few months saying I told you so but as others have said I'm watching limerick teams 44 yrs therefore I would never take anything for granted when it comes to limerick too many good teams and first up is cork in the championship that's where the focus of players and mgmt will be once the league is finished

No it doesn't. The third team might be very close. I never claimed there was a gulf. You imagined that.

lim4ev

Anyway outside of the recent non sensible talk of who would beat us anyone have an idea of who starts Saturday evening??
