Jackie Tyrell, Cathal Barrett, Richie McCarthy, Stephen McDonnell, Paddy Stapleton and Liam Ryan might have something to say about that.

IN POSSIBLY THE most competitive line on the field in the hurling Allstars, nine players  who enjoyed excellent campaigns will battle it out for the three full-back line places.

The three favourites to get the nod are Kilkenny duo JJ Delaney and Paul Murphy, along with Limerick’s Seamus Hickey. They were the the players chosen by the Sunday Game panel and it’s likely the Allstar committee will concur.

Full-back line nominees:
Cathal Barrett (Tipperary)
JJ Delaney (Kilkenny)
Séamus Hickey (Limerick)
Richie McCarthy (Limerick)
Stephen McDonnell (Cork)
Paul Murphy (Kilkenny)
Paddy Stapleton (Tipperary)
Jackie Tyrrell (Kilkenny)
Liam Ryan (Wexford)
Sunday Game pundits chose:
Murphy, Delaney, HickeyPrevious Allstars:
Delaney (6), Tyrrell (4), Murphy (2)

Do you agree with the Sunday Game or does one of the other six deserve the award?
