faithfull... all i can say about pa cronin is that we would love to have him in clare, he is an excellent player. hes not corks captain for no reason.
valley84 i understand what you are saying but the fact is that teams will always need a ball winner because people will always find a way o negate other tactics, so they will be forced to go long and win the 50/50 ball.
icehonesty i agree that size isnt everything, just look at tommy walsh is is one of the best in the country under a high ball, i know he is not a forward but you see what i mean. eoin larkin and tj reid are not what you would describe as being tall/big and they are excellent in the air aswell

Wexford under John Meyler tried a different approach which may have had potential designed to counteract the dominant aerial prowess of Kilkenny's halfbacks.

I think / I'm pretty sure the Cork captain is Patrick Horgan, Pa Cronin came on against Clare with about 5 minutes to go. Are you sure you're an expert?

I stand corrected, I was thinking of Michael Cussen
