Most of these awards including the All Stars are a joke anyway, but if Padraig Mannion doesn't get it, then it becomes an even bigger joke. That is not looking at it through maroon tinted glasses, I also agree that Joe Canning should not have got it last year, he was actually a lot better this year. gilly0512 (Galway) - Posts: 1176 - 13/09/2018 11:59:16 2141383 Link 0 |
Sure tis all irrelevant really, once them Limerick players got a celtic cross in their pocket this year, anything else doesn't matter I would say. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1732 - 13/09/2018 12:26:54 2141391 Link 0 |
I agree 100% On Greame Mulcahy he was our best and most dangerous forward this year over the course of the league and Championship a complete disgrace he didn't get nominated.

Stirring to pot again are we? Mulch wasn't actually that good, a bit of a bandwagon has been created for him.Its a team sport and I personally find it hard to pick out one player as HOTY. Barnowl94 (Galway) - Posts: 3150 - 13/09/2018 13:11:01 2141408 Link 2 |
Hurler of the year has been a joke the last two years. Onfor15 (Wexford) - Posts: 524 - 13/09/2018 13:44:29 2141421 Link 0 |
I take it you didn't actually watch any hurling this summer then? Canning was brilliant. Condorman (Dublin) - Posts: 983 - 13/09/2018 13:54:08 2141430 Link 5 |
Agree about Mulcahy. He blocked a ball in the 14 man performance in Cork last June and his block went straight to Flanagan & over the bar. His work rate and end product for the team was inspiring from a Limerick point of view. He set the tone in many games. slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6480 - 13/09/2018 14:22:32 2141444 Link 2 |

These things are very subjective......reality is Mulcahy had a great year but was he any better than Seamus Hardney, the scoring stats would suggest not with Hardney getting 25 points from 6 games averaging 4.16 scores compared to Mulcahy at 25 points for eight games....... For me if they were going to include Mulcahy then Hardney and indeed Conlon were as worthy.......personally I think Mannion should get it Limerick can't have too many complaints ......they got 15 nominations which is OTT to be honest given they beat Cork in extra time yet have twice as many nominations and Clare actually beat them in Munster so these things even themselves out......they may feel aggrieved by the HOY nominations but gained a couple of 'extra' all star nominations........

Mannion was better than Mulcahy, and I saw Galway about a dozen times, and saw Mulcahy only a handful of times. And that sums up the futility of any arguments about subjective issues like all stars and hoty & pottys.

For the third year in a row it looks like the selection committee are deciding who hurler of the year is before they announce the nominations. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 13/09/2018 15:21:03 2141481 Link 2 |
I was going to start a thread saying the same thing but I got roasted for months for being anti Galway last year! tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 13/09/2018 15:45:18 2141490 Link 0 |

It is easy to be objective when you have no horse in the race. However all players mentioned are excellent nominations. Glad not to be involved for a year (all stars also)to allow players get their game back and concentrate on improvement. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 2660 - 13/09/2018 17:34:25 2141514 Link 0 |
If you think Canning is almost certain, get down to the local bookie as Mannion is, and has been hot favourite for a couple of months now.
