Going to go out on a limb and say either Tipp or Kilkenny.

How good are tipp. Where the cats forwards not allowed play last sunday, or had they a off day?

Can anyone tell me if there has been a year since 1988 when Galway haven`t been tipped? Nothing against Galway I would actually like to see them win it but every year it`s the same whereas the likes of Waterford & Cork the last few years will be dismissed as not having a chance when I see very little between these teams.
To answer the original question think Tipp and KK will share the next 4 or 5. Unfortunately don`t see my own Waterford winning it until Davy goes or changes tactics. While defence has been our achilles the last decade, it is now our attack. With Tipp and KK likely to be putting up 25-30 points, you need serious firepower to compete and the last 2 years we just have Kelly from frees and Mullane regularly scoring which is just not enough.

Can`t see Waterford doing much. Cork might not have the legs either.

Hard to think Tipp would be beaten for definite by anyone but by god once the cats have the wounds licked they`ll be back as hard as ever!

Nope, we are tipped every year because we always have a good minor team coming through.
Or else we had a good league campaign or we have a new inside forward that will turn the hurling world uspsidedown
eg   (Canning , Cloonan  )  .
I started thread a while back asking why Galway alwasy fail each year at senior level despite club,league,minor successes, but nobody replied.
Jaysus thats my mini rant for tuesday over  (in fact thats my Tuesday over whoo hoo :  )

Who will win 2011 All-ireland?

Whatever about next year, this decade will be dominated by Tipp/Kilkenny. Every other County are way behind these 2 teams. I can see Tipp winning 3/4 All-Irelands in this decade and Kilkenny probaly taking the rest.
I can`t see any other teams causing too many upsets if any at all. Galway/Waterford are too reliant on Mullane and Canning for there scores and a 1 man Forward line won`t win you an All-Ireland.
What worries me more is that I can see Tipp/Kilkenny getting even better when you see the Kilkenny minors this year that will step up to the mark at Senior level and the fact also that Tipp have more young talent to break through there panel such as Denis Maher,Michael O Brien and Sean Curran.
I hope I`m wrong but I can`t see any team at the moment looking like catching that big gap to Kilkenny/Tipp.

Tipp/KK - and if they meet each other before the AI Final then Galway may have a chance.
