Hurling: Nickie Quaid hurler of the year? And what we think of 53 in the backroom

The Throw-In

John Mullane, Eddie Brennan and Michael Verney review a weekend of finals as Limerick did what may ever be done again, sealing their sixth Munster title in a row. John is quick to express his belief that Nickie Quaid could be hurler of the year, with Eddie adding that his ‘quarterback’ style has been a strong point of Limerick’s. The set-up around the Treaty men has also been a talking point, so naturally we broke down what having a 53-person backroom does to a team, and whether the mention of that just builds aura. Plus: How warm-ups matter in a power cut; Dublin gave Kilkenny too much time; stories of broken bones. The Throw-In hurling show is brought to you by eir.
