Replying To sourmilk93:  "Strange candidates went to interviews with no backroom teams. If as you say Dunning had nothing confirmed.
While i had heard Dowd was getting the job during the week i was very surprised no backroom team was announed. Surely he has strong team with him to get selection. Rogers and Daly highly linked but surely theres a big name too to warrant the selection"
Rogers,Daly were approached and I believe both have since joined up with Dowd. Gerry McGowan was also approached but I don't know what the latest is with him.

We could be looking at another September or later appointment with waiting on others and Dowd to fully confirm their management/back room team.

We appointment John Evans in 2012 without anyone with him. Later assembled it including putting one of the selection committee on his team.

Western Gaels v Elphin to fill one of the relegation play off places. Castlerea likeliest to join them plus Dominics.
Castlerea look to be favourites to go down.

That's the manager and the 2 "selectors"* sorted out.
Now for physical trainer, S&C, defence and attack coaches, and all the rest.

* what an old fashioned term! What is their real role? Coaches? Asst managers? Manager assistants? Ball gatherers?

Yea think it will be between Castlerea and Elphin but Castlerea not looking good.

Bigger win for Faithleachs than expected, some scoring from them.

Ger Brennan was appointed to the most high profile managers job in Gaelic football without naming his backroom team. Dublin backroom team still not named. The County Board has to appoint who they think will be the best manager and the backroom team comes after that.

Replying To rossie4sam:  "Brigids couldn't win a 1/4 in Roscommon last year and people here bigging them up. Pearses are the team to beat end of story"
Bridging have their most talented team in their history including the all Ireland winning one. It's completely balanced all over and only going to get stronger.It'll be a miracle if they don't win county and I can't see anyone coming close to them in Connacht. It's a roll of the dice after that.
