You're probably going to have somewhere between 5 and 10 people reject the offer which would give you an initial panel of around 40" I think it would be nearer 10. I'd be adding Joe O'Connor, Shane Murphy, Daire Barden, Robbie Barron, Stephen O Gorman, Paudie Casey, Shamey O Hagan, Conor Murphy, Jack Redmond, Jack Doran, Darragh Farrell, Kyle Firman, Conor Firman, Joe Coleman, Darragh Kehoe, Conall Clancy also to any invites to an initial training squad in November. Niall Hughes did really well for the Rocks, as did Conor Kinsella and Cian Hughes, but all 3 are with the intercounty footballers and would be more of an addition there. I've probably forgot a few also ElGranSenor!!!

You're probably going to have somewhere between 5 and 10 people reject the offer which would give you an initial panel of around 40" Conor McDonald is not a starter for me anymore, he hasn't the pace for inter county hurling and he doesn't work hard enough.
I'd play Chin full forward next year.

You're probably going to have somewhere between 5 and 10 people reject the offer which would give you an initial panel of around 40" Jack Cushe, Sean Keating and Andy Kennedy 3 more who could be considered, not advocating carrying 7 keepers like were Chelsea just to be clear.

Replying To Past hurler: "Conor McDonald is not a starter for me anymore, he hasn't the pace for inter county hurling and he doesn't work hard enough.

His game has changed somewhat recently. He has become a playmaker more than a score getter. This could clearly be seen during the club championship. He has good hands, is skilful at lifting and striking, gets loads of attention from the opposition, therefore freeing up other players to take advantage. He has plenty of experience. Chin would be wasted in at full forward. He is a ball winner so centre forward is his best position. Winning possession from puckouts is vital. You don't win many games if you can't win your own puckouts.
Getting the right players on either side of Mac and Chin I think is the key and with Rossi now at the helm I believe he will be working on that.

Yeah Rossiter has the job. You're spot on, his backroom team will be absolutely crucial. Hopefully he'll get it right and have the best guys around him.

Yes Rossiter has the job. Backroom team will be revealed next week. Rumours of Frank Flannery as coach. The Oulart lads were very impressed with him during his time there. Who has he been involved with since does anyone know?

Replying To Afinestick: "Yes Rossiter has the job. Backroom team will be revealed next week. Rumours of Frank Flannery as coach. The Oulart lads were very impressed with him during his time there. Who has he been involved with since does anyone know?" Well....strictly speaking, Rossiter hasn't got the job yet, since his nomination still has to be approved by the full County Board next week. But it'd be a massive surprise if that turned out to be anything other than a formality.
Flannery was over Ballysaggart in Waterford (home of the Bennett brothers and therefore obviously also Pat Bennett, the Ferns manager) when they won intermediate there, four or five years ago. They've since been relegated again, but he'd moved on before that happened.
He also won the second grade competition in Cork a couple of years ago, with Kanturk. They call it Senior A, but it's the second grade all right - their top grade is called Premier Senior.
Nice bit of success seems to follow him around wherever he goes, so hopefully he can bring it to Wexford too, if he's confirmed as part of the backroom team.

The rumour going around Kilkenny would be great if true but I think its unlikely. Franks, Flannery, and Cunningham coaching. Mythen, Skippy and Rory Jacob selectors. No mention of the psychologist though!

That seems like a good setup but unlikely to have 3 coaches and 3 selectors I would say

Replying To Past hurler: "Conor McDonald is not a starter for me anymore, he hasn't the pace for inter county hurling and he doesn't work hard enough.
I'd play Chin full forward next year." Ability to win primary possession still very important as seen yesterday! No point expecting him to be sprinting out to the corners to win ball when outnumbered but direct ball in one on one and he can still be a big asset.

If you look back he spent alot of time out around the corners and ran back into the space inside.
