Brolly had harsh words for Cork captain Graham Canty INPHO/James Crombie

Is Brolly right? Will 'primitive' Cork be found out this weekend?

Ex-footballer also compares their playing style to “rugby league”.

EX-DERRY FOOTBALLER Joe Brolly is not a Cork fan.

The Sunday Game pundit has launched an attack on the county’s football team, saying that they were “able to bludgeon and bore their way through every team in the country with their primitive approach” last season.

The Rebels face Down in a repeat of last year’s All-Ireland SFC final tomorrow.

But Brolly argues, in a provocative article for GaelicLife.com, that a DVD documenting last year’s success will be great viewing “for all lovers of rugby league”.

Despite winning the top prize, Brolly claims they are “a dumb team” and felt their loss to Kerry last month vindicated his persistent criticism of the side. He did offer Cork reserved praise, saying they “play with courage and integrity,” but added that they are “not in the same league as Kerry”.

He also called their captain, Graham Canty, “over-rated”, and said he can’t understand why he is considered a great player.

Kerry beat Cork 1-15 to 1-12 recently to win the Munster football final.
