Kerry have unknown quantities on their own side

Conor Counihan may have been a man for the dummy team but none of his successors — Brian Cuthbert, Peadar Healy, and Ronan McCarthy — have been known for it.

A look back at the Munster finals under them would reveal as much. In both 2014 and the drawn game in 2015, Cuthbert went with the named team before a couple of late changes for the replay in Killarney. In 2017, Healy introduced Niall Coakley as an 11th hour change and McCarthy went with what he announced 12 months ago.
