Very mature performance from James yesterday. Can play the scorer role or playmaker role. Sacrifices himself for the team. Will be better than Gooch and Maurice Fitz. The question is will he be better than Mikey Sheehy? TeasyCliff (Kerry) - Posts: 13 - 19/07/2015 19:59:22 1755950 Link 0 |
Overrated, I think. Did nothing in the All Ireland final when properly marked and and by James Loughrey of Cork this year. A good penalty winner by whatever means are necessary and good penalty taker, well able to feign injury and knows all the tricks as only those coached in Kerry would know. Good for a laugh on twitter as well. I wouldn't swop Cillian O'Connor for him that's for sure. JamesH (Mayo) - Posts: 465 - 19/07/2015 20:16:13 1755970 Link 0 |
Outstanding player I love watching him play up there with the Kerry greats but just a bit behind Gooch who is the greatest forward I've ever seen. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 19/07/2015 20:47:33 1755994 Link 0 |
You've a short memory considering the damage he did against Mayo last year ! sam57 (Louth) - Posts: 1502 - 19/07/2015 20:48:33 1755997 Link 0 |
A bit harsh JamesH. He is a great player, very unselfish, a great worker & finisher. Better than Gooch, Sheehy or Fitzgerald? Hard to know yet but he could be. county man (Limerick) - Posts: 1102 - 19/07/2015 20:52:46 1756005 Link 0 |

He's so talented but the amount of diving the boy does doesnt reflect well. Not up with the likes of Diarmuid Connolly or the Gooch yet. He can still get marked out of games. Daith (Kildare) - Posts: 1171 - 19/07/2015 21:04:56 1756022 Link 0 |

Oh dear , not even the best forward in Kerry , McManus in Cavan and D Connolly in Dublin are ahead of your boy IMO , but you need to feel you you have the best so no doubt you will disagree . Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 19/07/2015 21:16:53 1756036 Link 0 |
Serious player with tons of potential, would have him before O'Connor but not Connolly. Definitely one of the best forwards in the game though! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8589 - 19/07/2015 21:28:13 1756047 Link 0 |
In fairness connoly and McManus are great players and never get injured where James missed 6 months with a shoulder problem that he had to have an operation on and he's not long back from it, I think if we can manage to beat Fermanagh or Westmeath we'll start to see the best of him.

I'd put Gooch and Maurice Fitz ahead of Sheehy for a start. JOD has great potential, interesting to see how he progresses dahayeser (Cork) - Posts: 337 - 20/07/2015 10:48:40 1756172 Link 0 |

Very subjective. Don't think he has done a whole lot in the championship to date. Let's be honest how he got MOTM in the replay was unbelieveable. Adamski (Dublin) - Posts: 339 - 20/07/2015 11:00:28 1756192 Link 0 |
Good player but play acting a good bit lately ruins his talent for me Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 20/07/2015 11:02:54 1756196 Link 0 |
The problem is people feel they have to put a label on players. Best forward ever, in last 10 years etc woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 20/07/2015 11:07:49 1756203 Link 0 |
Very good player,but the statement is silly,you have many forwards in the country as good as him,look what McManus does for Monaghan,imagine he was in the Kerry team for example.. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 20/07/2015 11:10:09 1756206 Link 0 |
