Harte influence credited for increased physicality in hurling

Disagree. Ai final the first day last year he was at it and one or two were a bit embarassing.

The galway defenders were winning frees easily so kk decided to play for them too. It does happen in hurling a bit too...

I can't say I remember that in all fairness.

He certainly didn't dive when Benny Dunne took exception to him messing with his helmet.

Can't remember that either. Was at it, plus watched it back after, so think I'd have noticed it if it happened. Wouldn't be Tommy Walsh's biggest fan so no reason to defend him. He should have got the line in the semi for pulling (or a manly flick of the hurl depending on your viewpoint) across Pa Bourke when Lar was trying to dance with him.

glad they didnt pick up the influence of diving lol. The one thing hurling has over the football at the minute, there is very little diving, playacting etc compared to the football. Still think managers encourage players to go down and try to gain a advantage where possible. Days are long gone where mick Lyons chop big joe one before the game had even started, no body lay down back then unless half kill
