14. Seamus Callanan Rating: 6/10 A very welcomed sight on Sunday was the presence of Seamus Callanan in Nowlan Park. He looks in peak condition and despite his first touch being dodgy, he was out in front for nearly every ball that came his way in a ding-dong battle with Huw Lawlor. Showed great vision to find Jason Forde for the first goal and generally worked his socks off. Great to see.

15. Jason Forde Rating: 9/10 As if Tipp supporters weren' already aware of the value a fully firing Jason Forde is to the Premier, he reminded everyone pretty quickly after sitting out the Laois match. His ball striking is up there with the best and he looks as lean as he ever has in recent years. He is an integral player for this team, with 1-15 (1-5 from play) along with a sumptuous sideline proving his importance.
