Replying To dualcounty2027:  "wat new player or new tactical ides should Galway do next year"
We should know what new players should be tried by the end of the county championship.

Tactics wise hard to say unless you've a team that's capable of playing more than one style at a good level.

My thoughts after the All ireland haven't changed, that rather than rip up the script, the priority is to get better at the Plan A from last year. There were lots of occasions in the final where limerick forced poor execution, with Morrissey, Tom Mon and Glennon particularly guilty in that area. Not meaning to be harsh on those lads they were just obvious examples. Added to that a plan B where we have a second man up. You can't clone Rabbitte so need someone with pace and power. Easier said than done and I don't think there's an obvious palyer on the panel. Brian Callanan would be my hope but might need another year or 2. Kevin cooney in his 2023 form would be ideal but that seems to be gone. Gavin Lee may be worth a shot.

If we're going 2 up on occasions more legs would be needed in the middle and you mgiht see a Cullen Killeen come in for Monahan. rory burke will obviously be a massive addition. I'd be looking at Morgan to take Padraig's place. Tiarnan Leen probably worth a look based on club form. Possible team

Fahy
Morrissey
Trayers
Hanrahan
Morgan
Daithi
Ryan

Killeen
Neary

Burke
Mannion
Lee / Monahan

Niland
Rabbitte
Whelan


Whelan may come under pressure as well, But let's hope he can get back to his best form. He was spectacular in the Leinster final but looked way off it in the All ireland.

Great assessment. It just shows you, we better win something while Daithi is about, because we'll be losing a serious operator when he steps away.
