Great choice think he was captain in 2007 when i think we played our best hurling and probally the year we should have bagged the big one this was the year we were caught by limerick after leathering them in munster we played a number of matches in quick succession and it was felt by many we were \\\\\\\\\\ed tired for that faitfull semi final.
Dont agree at all the Molumphy is slipping yes he did not have a great 2011 but he had many great days in the past a vital cog in our set up as far as im concerned, they tell me he is flying in training and i have a lot of confidience in him.
While i am happy with brick as captain as i dont believe it puts any extra pressure on him, he is a team player and he will never let you down.
Shane O Sullivan would be my second choice a player i like a lot and still improving.

Saying that you "leathered" Limerick in the Munster final that year is a bit of a diversion from the reality. From what I remember Limerick were well in it until the last few minutes when a few late goals put a gloss on the final score?

Thats true. The 9 point winning margin was flattering. Very little between the teams for most of that game

It was an easy way out for the players by saying that having to play for 2 weeks previous to the semi final ruined them and not accept that it affected Limerick in the Munster final. After all Limerick had played 3 matches against Tipp including extra time twice so that excuse can work both ways

Of course it works both ways, if its true. There is no doubt in my mind that playing Cork the previous 2 Sundays took its toll on Waterford, just as the matches v Tipp affected Limerick before the Munster final. Some of the Waterford players have gone on record to say that they were \\\\\\\\\\ed during the week leading up to the semi final. But thats not an excuse for the defeat, Waterford were beaten by the better team on the day. There usually isnt much between Waterford and Limerick in big matches, can go either way.
