On top of those two, you've Conor Whelan who'd conjure a score out of a paper bag. Big, burly Johnny Glynn flanks him and we're all well aware of Joe Canning's physicality.

Speaking on Thursday's GAA Hour Hurling Show, former Galway forward Damien Hayes latched onto those comparisons with the Cats.
"I think Galway are brilliant. They're such a fine team, such a big team. They're strong, muscular, massive athletes and all of that."Then, the Portumna man piled the pressure on his former teammates by claiming that they're up there with Brian Cody's Kilkenny teams of years past. Cody's Kilkenny have won 11 All-Irelands since the turn of the millennium so Hayes' expectations are high.
"I actually think this Galway team is as good as some of them Kilkenny teams in the last ten years and I mean that. "Niall Burke can't make the team, Flynn can't make the team. Them two boys would make any team in the country, they were the reason Galway won the All-Ireland last year, when they came on and scored four points between them."You can listen to Damien waxing lyrical about his county and much more from Thursday's GAA Hour Show right here.
