There's one big, dangerous predator quietly waiting in the wings which may disturb this status quo - Kilkenny. TJ Reid will be so difficult to stop even if ...
Swap Mark Coleman to wing-back, with Ciarán Joyce centre and keep him at the D. With Garth Brooks headed for a week in Croker, the costs of building and maintaining massive stadia is questionable for a supposedly amateur organisation. Their midfield and wing-forwards are key to this. You sense Kilkenny are at their best since that 2019 semi-final win, and I see the Cats getting one over on Galway before they meet again in the Leinster final. The sideline clash between Shefflin and Brian Cody is intriguing. Just like Liam Cahill meeting Tipp or Davy facing Clare, Henry will do whatever he can to help Galway win.

Leinster SHC round 3 · 1400 Galway v Kilkenny, Pearse Stadium · 1430 Laois v Wexford, MW Hire O'Moore Park · 1500 Westmeath v Dublin, TEG Cusack Park.
From the puckout Galway leave Michael Carey unmarked and DJ's son drives it over from way out on the right wing. He's first-pumping and for the first time this afternoon, the Rebels have a bit of momentum. Diarmuid Ryan with a corker and Ryan Taylor makes it three on the bounce. Galway haven't scored in 16. Unless it was for "contributing to a melee", hard to see what it was for unless it was an off-the-ball incident. Galway 1-21 Kilkenny 2-16
Henry Shefflin's thoughts turned to his brother Paul after John Donnelly scored a late equalising goal for Kilkenny in their Leinster Hurling Championship ...
"It was probably a little bit unique in that. "I thought we worked extremely hard but the shooting let us down a little but. "It was just such an emotional moment in the whole game. "We knew there wasn't going to be much between the teams. Shefflin admitted that facing Kilkenny as manager of the opposing team was somewhat strange. I was just thinking about him.

Scorers: Galway – C Cooney 0-6 frees, B Concannon and J Cooney 0-4 each, T Monaghan 0-3, J Coen 1-0, C Mannion 0-2, F Burke 0-2 (two line cuts), P Mannion, David Burke and C Fahy 0-1 each. Shefflin had, by now, sprung Conor Whelan from the bench, Galway now in apparent crisis mode. But their efforts at advancing the ball through short passes out of defence kept coming unstuck against Galway’s overt physicality. That said, once this remarkable game started at such a frantic pace, personalities instantly took a back seat. Galway resumed with an immediate Conor Cooney free into the wind but would then go a deeply worrying 20 minutes without a score, Kilkenny levelling the game with points from Walter Walsh (2), three Alan Murphy frees and a further score from Mikey Carey. Goalkeeper, Eoin Murphy, was caught out in such a fashion on 24 minutes, advancing out towards the right sideline and spooning a percentage pass that was quickly devoured by Cianan Fahy who transferred inside to Brian Concannon who then gave it to Johnny Coen to blaze an unstoppable finish.
