Any views??

Only hurler not on either team that i would have is Hayden, however he's more interested in livin it large! Heard he's in super form at wing back for Birr!
B Whelahan not been given a chance cos he's rated as too slow for intercounty hurlin... still our best midfielder at club level and always give 100%

Diggy is more than good enough but his antics off the field and his committment to trainin just wont cut it anymore.. mores the pity - a talent wasted!

I think Cleary would be better suited at centre back cos he might be nervous at full back... worked with kk and John Tennyson!

Cleary has had a lot of good games at full back, he just had a one off nightmare down in Limerick. While I've great time for Ger Oakley, Cleary is the future and we should persevere with him.

If I was picking right now, I'd be wary of the form of Franks in the full back line - he's a proven hurler but he's not playing well - and Brendan O'Meara's omission continues to baffle me. Full back line - Verney, Cleary, O'Meara.

Half back line, I like how Horan has done so far and I'd be loathe to move him, and personally I would move Rory Hanniffy back. A strong half back line is so crucial in today's game it's not funny, so I'd have Rory back there along with Ger Oakley. Ger is not exactly a classy player but he doesn't let much by him and never lets us down. Half back line Oakley, Horan, Hanniffy

The midfield partnership is actually playing reasonably well. I wouldn't change Murphy and Teehan.

The half forward line is a crucial source of possession, but it is also key to defend from this line. Bevans is scoring well and is a threat, while Gary Hanniffy has to play here. In between, I would go for an odd selection - Danny Hoctor. Aggressive, good fielder, just not there to score. Could be a good man to do something about the handball effect - where clearances come straight back as if you hit them into a handball alley. Bevans, Hoctor, Hanniffy.

Full forward line kind of picks itself a bit. Bergin has to be full forward, Molloy is a goal threat and he's not able to score once you bring him too far out, and even though Carroll is not playing well, you'd have to pick him.

David Kenny is the Forgotten Man at the moment!

In the early games he showed a lot of raw promise! The best fielder we have IMO although he struggles to get it away sometimes afterwards. That'll come with a bit of experience!

Kenny has a lot of hamstring problems.. hasnt been trainin properly!
O'Meara was away when he could have started against wexford when 3corner backs were out an T Corcoran got a chance.. agree tho he deserves a chance! hard ground might not suit him.. wont know until we try!

surely we are going to stuff these lads either way
