Hurling All Stars

[AZOffaly]

Right lads, who do we think?

Goalie - Callinan (Galway)

Corner Back - Noel Connors (Waterford)
Full Back - James Barry (Tipperary)
Corner Back - Cathal Barrett (Tipperary)

Wing Back - Tadhg de Burca (Waterford)
Centre Back -  Kieran Joyce (Kilkenny)
Wing Back - Daith Burke (Galway)

Midfield- Michael Fennelly (Kilkenny)
Midfield - David Burke (Galway)

Half Forward - TJ Reid (Kilkenny)
Centre Forward - Richie Hogan (Kilkenny)
Half Forward - Eoin Larkin - (Kilkenny)

Corner Forward - Joe Canning (Galway)
Full Forward - Seamus Callinan (Tipperary)
Corner Forward - Paul Ryan (Dublin)

[Roashter]

Can't see Canning getting one this year -I'd have Jason Flynn & Johnny Glynn ahead of him from Galway, plus I think Maurice Shanahan will probably get one.

[AZOffaly]

I thought about Maurice, but I couldn't see who to drop. The two Galway lads you mention had poor enough finals, but Canning was excellent in the first half. He did hit bad wides during the year, but he did a lot more work out the field, so I think he deserves one.

I think I'd go with James Barry at FB TBH, think he'd a good solid campaign for Tipp and wasn't found wanting, but neither was Holden in all fairness!

Not sure about Joyce in at centre back either, but with so many teams with sweepers and so on I think I'd go with De'Burca in there and Daithi Burke on the wing, not that positions matter now!

Forwards wise, Schutte from Dublin might have an outside chance, but I think Galway will get the other corner forward berth, might be Glynn though for his tour-de-force against Cork.

Keeper wise, I think Eoin Murphy is currently the best about, but as he's rarely tested Callinan will get it.

[AZOffaly]

Callanan/Callinan will get it because he had that marquee game in the game of the year.

Callanan/Callinan will get it because he had that marquee game in the game of the year.

Agreed.

[deiseach]

I'll be happy if just Maurice wins one, and I think he will. Tadgh de Búrca will have plenty more opportunities (touch wood).

Reckon both players are shoe ins

[Bord na Mona man]

I'd be shocked if Shefflin was overlooked!

[AZOffaly]

I'm sure DJ got a few after he finished playing

[theskull1]

DJ who?

[Tony Baloney]

DJ who?

X-RAY.

I`d have Paul Murphy in at number 2 but otherwise agree with that selection

Michael Fennelly might push TJ Reid as well
