I agree.
Well, I agree 100% because...
Jason Rabbit when you decide to play one up top even for a period of a game like Limerick have done at Galan and why Limerick can do that sometimes at Galan if the other two flat out is because he's so incredibly good at winning the ball that's coming in even if it's 2-1-1 or a really good defender on him whereas Rabbit is still very young I think Paddy Smith like you know could get the better of him there if he has that job up there all on his own so I think if Galway are to win I agree 100% and if I was a Galway supporter I'd love to see him with at least two up top
to give the likes of Robert, who's only a young fella coming off an Ireland final loss the other day, leave himself and Whelan close to goals for the majority of this game and say, lads, they're probably going to follow us out of the field because we've got so many shots off.
Let's change it up.
If they're following us out with two boys inside, let's see, can we hang a couple of goals here?
So I agree with you 100%.
Well, if I was a Galway fan, I'd be praying after the throw-in, when I see what way we're setting up, I'd be praying that there's two lads inside close to Gibbons inside under the goalposts.
Yeah, well, the worry is, and I suppose in terms of, not nationally, but in terms of the way people speak about, you know, perceived notion of Galway is,
Does that sum them up?
Can they do it in the league?
Can they do it when it matters in Championship?
Do they have players that can be consistent?
You talked about the Limerick players either, that they'll always play well in the final.
Is it fair to say over the last six or seven years you could say the complete opposite about Galway?
That they've left their best games before they got to a final and when they've got to a final then they've been disappointing or even at our semi-finals maybe.
But I have a feeling I would let her...
after the first round when they beckoned Kenny really well I don't know what you think there was kind of this you know unknown they were in an All-Ireland semi-final they were going to win Leinster it was all signed, sealed and delivered exactly exactly and I was well they were almost guaranteed Leinster final
you know in terms of what you could meet and ask people so did that affect them as well but maybe it did are they actually have they been kind of preparing for this game since the first round of the championship since that day they bet Kenny well in Salt Hill in the first round have they actually been preparing for a Leinster Championship final there's kind of a vibe about that in terms of they've been able to rest players
at certain times that they've had knocks will they have certain players back Rory Burke was their probably player of the championship we haven't seen I don't know have you any update on him not at the minute no you don't hear he's massive for him lads huge if he's available and even and Nyland as well he didn't look fully fit the other day coming on but maybe he needed that few minutes then I actually think they made a mistake not staring at him I actually thought he had a bit of an impact when he came on and I actually think it was
