On the forward play and lack of cohesion that a lot of people are seeing, from comments here and from pretty knowledgeable folks in the stand and terraces, it's clear there's so much more to do with our lads upfront and that they're capable of running up bigger scores with the talent we have there.
We've a lot going on in the loop / overlap options outside and just inside the arc; but it's the other training ground types of set plays and runs we need blocks of time put into with these lads.
Third man runs to punch through gaps and break the line. Kick pass isolation moves to try create some 1v1s - see some of the Dublin scores. Dummy switches and decoy runners to create lanes to attack. More diagonal cuts and backdoor cut creation. Overloads, with supporting defenders taking more scores etc etc. Other counties clearly have some training ground plays, each worth a few scores per game. We seem to still play ad hoc a fair bit of the time and overusing Finnerty won't always work. Nice to see Hernon coming forward and McHugh getting into scoring positions too but not pulling the trigger unfortunately.

I feel we are still conceding too much/giving up a lot of scoring chances. We have had our championship back 6 (maybe one spot up for debate) for most of the league - I know there is more to defending than your back 6 now, but it's a worry.

Overall, considering our away games and injury list, it's been a great league. Well done lads and drive on.
