Along with Jason Flynn, Shane Cooney and Darren Morrissey (probably filling the 2 and 4 spots) SamandLiamSoon (Galway) - Posts: 623 - 24/02/2022 21:38:57 2402280 Link

That's not to say that Galway wont come good I'm sure Shefflin will have them very well motivated if nothing else. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15550 - 25/02/2022 10:08:25 2402306 Link

Replying To LarryOBrother: "Name them!!!" Well you left out Fintan Burke for starters, which is odd, as he's a cert to start. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2299 - 25/02/2022 11:04:10 2402316 Link
Replying To LarryOBrother: "Name them!!!" John Cooney, Sean Mcdonagh, and Donal O Shea all did well last year for Galways u20s. Agree the conveyor belt of top talent they had in the late 00s early 10s seems to have dried up somewhat the last 4 or 5 years though.

Replying To WanPintWin: "Well you left out Fintan Burke for starters, which is odd, as he's a cert to start." He didn't start last year v Waterford and was taken off v Dublin? Was he injured? But fair enough, thats one. LarryOBrother (Wexford) - Posts: 412 - 25/02/2022 11:30:23 2402320 Link
Replying To LarryOBrother: "Name them!!!" From your earlier blanked out list (!) How about Fintan Burke 7. Jonny Coen 8. Ronan Glennon 9. Monaghan HF. Conor Whelan FF. C Mannion Centre Forward. Cooney Corner Forward. Agree no nailed on cornerbacks though. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15550 - 25/02/2022 11:46:18 2402325 Link

Agree no nailed on cornerbacks though." Grealish and Fitzpatrick were the cornerbacks in the Limerick game. Other options are Tuohy, Coen, Cronin and Barrett. Morrissey and Cooney would probably be first choice if they were not injured. Brennan may be given a chance at left cornerback with possibly Fitzpatrick in the other corner but that is still TBD. For no. 8 Joseph Cooney is starting there the last few games. tommy k (Galway) - Posts: 3470 - 25/02/2022 12:25:02 2402334 Link

Think Glennon and Coen better there in midfield than half forward. I was just filling in the blanks that Larry had was all. To show you have a pretty good front 8 despite all the injuries. Actually never realised til Larry produced the half blank team sheet just how many lads ye have out injured tbh. And are all these lads out of the whole league? Whole season? Or what?

Replying To Viking66: "Would Tuohy not be better at wingback?" He is a utility type player - can play in the backs, midfield or forwards. He did win an AI in 2017 playing at right corner-back with Hanbury in the other corner. tommy k (Galway) - Posts: 3470 - 25/02/2022 14:49:33 2402363 Link
We clearly should have gone to Wexford instead of Kilkenny for a management team. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4115 - 25/02/2022 15:52:12 2402371 Link

Replying To LarryOBrother: "Conor Whelan, Cathal Mannion and one of the Cooneys can't play in two positions. They're already named." I know Larry. Read my post again. I moved Conor Cooney and Conor Whelan into the FF line and Cathal Mannion to centre forward. And replaced them where they were. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15550 - 25/02/2022 18:54:47 2402401 Link

He did very well as a de factor sweeper that year. And is very good linking play going forwards and taking points and even goals. Wasted cornerback.
