Replying To donegalgael-12:  "I'd certainly have Roarty over Curran"
A very strange statement.I don't think many would replace Roarty with anybody in the country let alone Donegal.There is this narrative however that we need more natural defenders but I don't who they are suggesting should be replaced.Maybe there are some with an agenda against a certain player.If there is a choice to be made I would tend to go with a player who has the ability to attack with pace.There are some who would sacrifice this for defensive minded players.Ideally what you would want is 5 or 6 Roartys who can defend and attack with equally brilliant ability.

Not sure what's strange about it, just a preference. It's a game of opinions! I agree with you, Roarty is an unbelievable talent - hence my preference for him over Curran!
