Some more names that've played in the 4 games
Adam O'Neill
Sean Coffey
David McLoughlin

Now maybe they're gone since Christmas I dunno. If anyone else knows a bit more?

Shane Walsh was name checked by Colm O'Rourke after the game v Laois

Is there anyone from Castletown or the Sigerson cup panels who might be brought in and involved
The Frayne brothers
Ruairi Kinsella
Ciaran McCarrick
Sean Caulfield
Killian Price maybe??

Ronan Ryan is the one name that's missing so far for me? Maybe he's taking time away.

I'm not suggesting any of these should be brought in, just names that would be maybe in the mix

Team i think will start vs Cork. Bare in mind Conor McGill is out of this game and I dont think Shane Walsh will be ready either. Id start both of them if they were available for Flood and Lenihan. Hoping in a few weeks time the likes of Pauric Harnan , Ronan Jones and even Jack Flynn can start pushing for selection but for the Cork game in 2 weeks I cant see them being ready to start.

1. Harry Hogan
2. James O'Hare
3. Michael Flood
4. Ross Ryan
5. Eoin Harkin
6. Donal Keoghan
7. Cathal Hickey
8. Daithi McGowan
9. Brian Conlon
10. Cillian O'Sullivan
11. Diarmuid Moriarty
12. Jason Scully
13. Matt Costello
14. Jordan Morris
15. Donal Lenihan

Morris in particular would be lucky to start V Cork based off the last 2 games particularly last night. He only came on as a sub in the 2nd half but was very very poor. Spilling balls running down blind alleys taking the wrong option getting turned over. If the management are picking based on O'Byrne cup performances he won't be starting.

I think you're right and v Dublin and Clare (who he was on the bench for most of it) he did very little.

I saw a poster write off Aaron lynch for kicking wides v Carlow last week (and of course they're entitled to their opinion). I think Aaron answered a few critics last night. I've seen Jordan Morris have several games where he's taken pot shots and put balls here there and everywhere. So maybe both will need to refine their techniques a little.

If you look at our ladies team in recent times they rarely took pot shots and always tried to work the ball into the central corridor and pot balls over. You'd imagine that'll all be part of what Paul Garrigan is working on with them in training as part of their offensive game planning.

Kinsella McCarrick Caulfield and Frayne will all be part of a u20 team looking to do well this year could get there chance afterwards

Yes I agree. I still like Morris and I think he has still plenty to offer but if they are picking the starting team based on O'Byrne cup performances he won't be starting.

Lets hope that's the plan. We don't have forwards to convert spéculative pot shots. Need an offensive plan.

Cheers for the additions Brian. Can't believe I forgot Walsh. As well as the other names you mentioned does that mean there's 35 players?

Haven't seen enough of Moriarty to judge but in no world ever is Curtis ahead of Lenihan

Hi everyone, first time making an account. Looking forward to the year ahead. Lots of players have Been tried and that's great to see. The next two weeks are massive and all roads lead to cork.

I'm hearing there are a few injuries from interviews and chattting to people. Jack Flynn is injured. I thjnk conor mcgill is injured but close. Ronan Ryan is injured and close to being back. Podge harnan is returning from injury too. Heard of more but can't remember now.

Thought the stewards in Ashbourne were great the other night. Really helpful in the lashings of rain.

3). Flood
4). Ross Ryan
