Replying To Viking66:  "Kildare dark horses for Leinster this year. You heard it here 1st ;-)"
That they may but I think Meath have to be favourites and will want to make right last year. It's great to see the Leinster championship competitive again.

Replying To Pope_Benedict:  "I don't think it's an opinion. Who's opinion? An opinion without any justification? It's not even an opinion. It's a 'ranking'? Have you met anyone in the country with the opinion that Ros are a top6 side, or that Mayo are a top3 side?

It's a ranking, and it looks to me like a particularly worthless ranking assessment to date."
It's actually on paddy powers main official site . Bit early in the year to be getting triggered by Mayo and ' rankings ' . Pace yourself. We all know rankings mean nothing. Do your talking on the pitch as we will do .

Meath are definitely hot favourites for Leinster and rightly so. Kildare are going in the right direction; but are ultimately bottlers so I can't see them doing anything in Leinster. Don't forget about Louth who are the Leinster champions also.. Leinster is getting more competitive to be fair which is great!

I'm not 'triggered' with them at all, thats's the point i was making. Ros are 14th on Paddy Power odds for Sam, which illustrates my point.

Mayo are 3rd on paddy power. Bit surprised at that myself tbh . It's only someones opinion anyways . Rossies are not to be sniffed at though they have great forwards. Galway I feel have a bit of pressure on them this year. Mayo we will be happy just to get back to croker in the summer . Connacht is our goal.

Mayo beat Tyrone and were squeezed out by Donegal. They made the league final and were narrowly beaten by Galway in Connacht. Andy isn't exactly starting from a low base.
