2. Ciaran Connolly (Loughmore Castleiney)
A player who has been well-touted after a strong underage career with Tipperary, Connolly seems to have finally shrugged off his injury woes in recent years and looks to be at full capacity for the first time in years.
He scored five points from midfield in Loughmore's recent Mid Championship winning campaign but his ability to carry the ball and his physical presence is something that Tipperary could do with in the years to come.
It will be interesting to see if the Loughmore Castleiney man can go through the whole club campaign unscathed and should that happen, he might throw his lot in with Cahill for next year.
