Jackie Tyrrell: Jake Morris dancing to Lar Corbett beat for Tipperary

RTÉ hurling analyst Jackie Tyrrell believes that Jake Morris is the heir apparent to Lar Corbett's goal-scoring throne after his wonderful hat-trick downed Waterford in Saturday’s Allianz Hurling League clash at Semple Stadium.

The Thurles man retired in 2015 with a reputation as one of the game’s greatest ever goal scorers, tcopper-fastened by his famous hat-trick in the 2010 All-Ireland final win over Kilkenny.

On Saturday night, Morris became the first player to strike a hat-trick of league goals for Tipperary against the Déise since 1965 while he had already raised green flags in the victories over Kilkenny and Laois.

"I thought it was very obvious, the one where Dan McCormack broke through and could have easily tagged a point and he just took it the extra couple of steps and passed it into Jake Morris," Tyrrell, who marked Corbett in his Kilkenny days, told the RTÉ GAA Podcast.

"Is the resemblance between him and Lar Corbett uncanny? From being left hand on top, yellow helmet, the way they hit the ball - they’re just finishers.

"I think Jake just needs to be positioned up top, keep him up there. He’s electric, he’s pacy, dovetail him with Jason Forde and hopefully Seamus Callanan, who will be back.

"This guy is a finisher. Five goals already this year and it is a trait of Liam Cahill. We’ve seen it with Waterford, they do like to run the ball down the throat of the defence and if there’s a sniff of a goal he has no problem at all taking it on."
