Football - I expect Killian Young to become a Seamus Moynihan type legend if he stays injury free.

Probably won`t even be on Cork panel this year   (of course if he lived 35 miles west he`d be on the other panel   )   , but keep an ear out for Rory Buckley from Macroom in future. Full back on last years minors, has what it takes to really make it, brilliant defender and footballer. Better now than what Anthony Lynch was at same age.

Hurling - Canning is an obvious one, but he`ll need to improve his conditioning over the next two years, if he does   (i expect he will   )   , god help us all.

Paudie Sull is good, but i think we`re expecting a little too much from him already. Remember he`s naturally a half back, not easy to turn into an inter-county standard corner forward in 2-3 years, not to mind be a star.

As much as it pains me to give credit to any tipp hurlers but Lar Corbett is a classy bit of stuff and in my humble opinion much better than Eoin Kelly. I cannot see for the life of me why he is not used by Tipp a bit more as his starts appear to be a little erratic, or is that just my perception. Lets hope that the new `sull` from Cork does not end up as over-rated as the other one. Canning will also be a fantastic player as long as the hatchet men, not withstanding those previously mentioned, give him fair play. Big difference between hard and dirty play and stars need to be protected. I saw a Lyng name from Wexford mentioned, is he anything to d**e the great handballer from those shores.

Doubtful, Curran is faster and tidier than Fanning. Fanning did get an all-star last year but I can`t see him getting ahead of Curran even though he`s been solid enough in the few games he`s had. Posession is 9/10ths of the law.

Lar is about 27 I think. He played u21 in 2001 and possibly `02 iirc. Has started the world of games for Tipp but is generally taken off. Still think he`d be better off at Wing Forward where his pace and lámh would be a huge asset to the half forwards.No way is he better than Kelly though.

McGrath is a fantastic player and credit to Babs for giving him a run the last 2 years. His sweeping up in the half-back line is a great tactic and he catches the world of ball there and in our hf line off our own puckouts. Serious hard-worker and his hurling has come on a good bit this year again.

Lar Corbett is a great League player. Has he ever hurled a decent game in the Championship?
