Replying To countyman2022:  "Big time players show up in the big matches. Thats the difference."
Agree with that, peak Cian Lynch scored 6 from play in 2021 All Ireland and assisted a massive 2-4. In my opinion he is a superior player to Horgan. Hego has also stood up and on other occasions, especially in the first final against KK when he put in one of the all time great all Ireland performances, also superior imo. Your star players get you over the line on the biggest days. The Limerick players have probably ran themselves into the ground with the intensity the played at and i don't think any Limerick player will have the longevity of a Hoggie or TJ. If you look at what Gillane contributes to the team outside of scores in comparison to Horgan, the difference is night and day.

Dowling couldn't make the starting team Limerick despite his excellent scoring record as he couldn't hit the required markers for the other side of the game. Were Cork ruthless enough in that situation too over the last few years??

In saying that Hoggie is definitely a legend and in the top 10 of all time is probably fair. He has been an unbelievable servant to Cork hurling and all hurling ans in general.
