Replying To WanPintWin:  "The record of championship seasons played? One of the men you mentioned, Tony Browne hurled for over 20 championship seasons, so TJ has a bit to go there yet.
I believe TJ does have the record of championship appearances though. It's some career."
Tony Brown over 20 inter County Championship seasons or are you including when he retired from County hurling but played Senior Club Championship?

Replying To baire:  "I'd agree with you re TJ Reid but would add that he has won a good few AI medals with his county. He can have no complaints. I have more admiration for the likes of Tony Brown, Ciaran Carey, Ollie Canning and other fantastic hurlers who kept it going for years on teams that weren't good enough or lucky enough to win an All Ireland."
It's the consistency of his playing ability regarding TJ Reid....I don't think I have ever seen him play poorly in all those games. His free taking is just always so accurate

Interesting team selection for Sunday. Really like the look of it and looking forward to see how it goes against a good Kilkenny team. C Mannion, C Cooney and C Whelan in the full forward is strong. David Burke and R.Glennon at midfield. The whole team has a good balance to it and I would be expecting them to deliver a winning performance.

That's true, he has it all, all the skills with low or high ball and when he's sidelined it's noticeable.

Agreed. I think 1-9 and the FF line looks solid. Maybe a bit light in the half forward line but J Cooney and Glynn on the each so could be brought on (either at HF or FF line) and shuffle the front 6 accordingly.

No, intercounty only. Tony Browne made his senior championship debut for Waterford in 1992. He retired after the 2013 season. He didn't play championship in 1993, but I believe he played every other year.

Cathal Mannion will be out and around that area, as will Conor Cooney potentially

I'd imagine Cooney/Concannon will be swapping throughout the game

Concannon not better closer to goal?

Oh yeah completely agree, I'm just saying in terms of our starting 15 - id pretty much go with 1-9 and 13-15 from the team that's named for the weekend.
