Henry wasn't well marshalled, to me he was out played by Maher would had a great game on him. Henry had to be moved off him in the second half.
To me DJ was outstanding and lets not forget Larkin, Fitzpatrick, Brennan, Comerford and the likes are all fabulous hurlers (all as good or better than Henry) and as someone else said before, DJ never had that support around him. DJ won many games for Kilkenny, games they never had a right to win, only for the greatness of DJ they won. Henry never had to take such responsibility on his own.
