Can Kilkenny be stopped this year??

Just watching them make sh!t of Cork. They've destroyed everyone emphatically with the exception of Limerick and Waterford, they look like they are almost back to the level they were at for last years final. Considering whats happened in Cork for the last 6 or so months todays result is not much of a shock.

In Leinster this year even with Galway and Antrim there its still looking like a stroll for them. No-one in Munster have shown anything like the intensity the Cats are bringing right now.

i honestly dont think a team of the pick of the rest of the counties could beat a Full strength Kilkenny team.
They really are an awesome outfit.

Maybe the Kilkenny B team

We'll be able to tell a lot come championship time. Teams need time. Like Tipp look shocking now but they'll be there or there abouts come championship, Cork are very behind because of the strike, and they are not as bad as they were today, they'll be there or there abouts come championship as well. You never can and you never will tell much from the League.
So we'll have to wait and see where the other teams are later on in the season to judge.

Well my opinion remains the same, no-one is capable of beating them when they are playing at even 70% of their ability! Tipp are the closest to them but Kilkenny need a major dip in performance to lose to them.

I think a team be it Waterford, Cork, Tipp whoever, would be able to catch Kk cold in a semi final and I'd say that's about it. I can't see them being beaten in a final unless they were sloppy and such. Which never happens.

I thought the strike was over. $:-\$

Tipp didn't have eight goals and a hundred and one points put past them in the league so far this year that's why I am not laughing at them. Tipp will probably be in the League Final, thats why I am not laughing at them, and please don't tell me that the eight goals and over a hundred points were scored on Geralds watch.

Tipp didn't have a weak team playing for 3 of those games now did they, all of which were very high scores and contributed to nearly all of that 100 points, now didn't they. Cork now have won 2 of their 3 games, not a bad return for players who've only just started playing together again this season with a new coach. As for Tipp, they've gotten worse if anything. Don't try and kid yourself you're saying what you're saying purely because it's Cork. At least admit what you're doing instead of trying to twist facts. FFS.

Twisting facts? Jesus, you said Cork are a team likely to catch Kilkenny cold !!!! The only ones likely to catch cold are the ones that ran Gerald and may ahve to give back the tracksuits. Am I delighted Cork were trounced today, yes I am, I have to admit.
