Replying To Pikeman96:  "It's an age old question, isn't it? Do you carry a good free-taker who might not contribute much in general play?

I think in this case, you probably could. Coleman is surely still the best free-taker they have, and at this time of year, with pitches slowing down and total scores deteriorating, the extra he'd bring to the frees would outbalance what they'd lose in other ways.

But obviously it's not a decision for you or I to make! Will be interesting to see what they do, all the same."

Replying To Viking66:  "They should try work big Joe into the team somewhere. Free taking was a huge issue in the County final. They will likely score 3 or 4 more frees as a result. Maybe he'd get a couple scores from play too. Would he really cost them 3 or 4 points on account of relative lack of mobility?"

Replying To Timbertony:  "Unfortunately his conditioning looks way off currently. Very good club hurler on his day. Rory has never been a good freetaker. Technique is far too rushed. Cian Byrne missed a few the last day too. Really is an age old problem in Wexford!"

Replying To Viking66:  "Agreed about ROC, hes had more bad days on them than good in games Ive seen him taking frees. Cians had a couple days like that this year. Then other days he's been excellent. Seamus Casey usually good but seen him have off days too. Lee Chin the same. Ross Banville, Jack Redmond, Mark Byrne, Cian Byrne (Rosslare) and Joe Coleman have been the only 5 I haven't seen have a bad off day, although that's not to say they haven't had one, as Ive not seen all their games obviously. Seen Joe Coleman play many times though since he was a teenager, and he's definitely the most consistent at them if I was pushed to name 1 Wexford man.
Probably the next best Ive seen at them, who is also the best Wexford born keeper in his 20s who Ive seen playing recently, but who is playing outfield for his club, is Cian Byrne from Rosslare."
