Well lads I feel Tipp waterford and cork are about the same level.

If anything Cork have gone back a few steps for two reasons
1. Injuries
2. Teams have copped onto how to deal with aiske try to limit the supply of quality ball into him from the half back and midfield.

I think the proformance tipp gave against galway would push a waterford team very close. But out of cork, waterford and Tipp i still think tipp have more scope for improvement.

Not much you can say about kilkenny raging hot favourites and rightly so it up to the other 3 to raise their games.... I can see them giving cork a bit of a trimming cork are missing a bit of additional firepower but as a poster said their backs and midfield are still strong. But cork will love being written off.

Yes Bennybunny you are right Tipp did a very hard training session the day before Cork game and thats why they were flat they have proved that by now, however I expect yer boys to put it up to Cats on Sunday as there is a kick left in ye yet. Tipp will win the All Ireland by 5 or 6 points no matter who the opposition is and I expect them to beat Watreford by 8 or 9 points in the saemi final!

At this rate you'll have 10,000 posts by the AI final. I heard you're actually brian cody trying to instill over confidence in the tip set up. Any truth to that???

His posts don't seem as extreme as before his holidays maybe the chillout helped him.... or maybe the new medicine is more effective!!

THURLESBLUES, could you enlighten us on your thoughts as to how Sunday will pan out? Should I rip up my ticket? Should I be booking a hotel for the first weekend in September?

Hi PUDDERSCAT
its a hard one to call, on form I think Kilkenny will edge it but as Cork are Cork I wouldnt write them off Id say it will be close and Kilkenny to win by a few points but a win for Cork would not shock me either.
