Tbh, if Barry goes with the footballers, he'd definitely start and there's a good chance he'd be one of the best footballers on the team (If not the best footballer)
If he goes with the hurlers, he might start and if he did start, I don't think he'd be one of the best hurlers on the team
Footballers will be in D2 which is as high as they've been in a while, hurlers in 1B so might be a tougher decision than say when the hurlers were in 1A and the footballers were in 1B
At the same time, hurling is bigger than football in this county and you will probably get lads who might be better off playing football choosing to play hurling instead, happens in other counties too, Brian Hayes for Cork is supposed to be an even better footballer than hurler but hurling is bigger than football down in Cork so that's why he hurls for Cork
I think Barry has already played senior football for Wexford, obviously George played both codes for Wexford and Barry might just want to give one year with the hurlers to tick off that box and to see where it takes him, might be a better footballer but might regret not doing a year of hurling with Wexford
Hard to know, it's ultimately his decision and he should do whatever he feels most comfortable doing, it's not up to us to say what the best decision is for him, only he knows that

Replying To WexMurph: "He would no doubt start for the hurlers such is the level they are at at present and his athleticism alone would make him more effective than some on the team last year, hope he gives the football a rattle though to see him compete against the top teams" His physicality and athletism are what we need in hurling as ball winners . U could work around his lack of touch for the most part by having him as a workhorse/ ball winner.and have good hurlers feeding off him . I can only imagine his presence alohe and professionalism would be a huge bonus for either squad . And help bring the standard / effort up.. I d imagine both managers would love to have him in for his influence alone, the martins are def a better team and look.lot more professinal in all aspects since his return . Over last 2 years . He seems to bring a hugely positive influence all round .
Good luck to him in whichever vide if sny he decides to pursue . Choosing football could have potentially a negative influence on the hutling though I d fear .
