Replying To Kinvara: "That time of year again. Going to give my stab at the team for Saturday D Fahy J Ryan D Burke D Morrissey Trayers P Mannion C Fahy Glennon C Daniels T Killeen C Mannion Neary Niland J Rabbitte Concannon Molloy probably should start but imagine they need that bit of experience in the forwards. Not sure of the status of Lee, Burke, Fleming etc." not far off but id be adding hanrahan, rory burke and whelan to the starting fifteen..dont think lee or fleming will make the 26 due to injury gbay (Galway) - Posts: 283 - 14/04/2026 01:57:34 2666295 Link
Replying To Pope_Benedict: "Didn't Trayers play centrally at no3 or no6 all NHL? He might be retained in a central position? If Cianan Fahy is only as good as his last game, that being the first half v Limerick, he might struggle to get a start for this one." Trayers will play 3 or the league was a waste of his time I'm not in love with PM at 6 but I suspect this will happen. Is Dáithi Burke available?

Trayers has to start at full back. Shane O'Brien got absolutely no change out of him before we went off in the Limerick game. Centre back is a bit of a conundrum if Daithi is still out. I'd say they would rather keep Mannion on the wing so maybe Cian Daniels could do to 6 and we could play Monaghan and Gavin Lee (if fit) in the middle. I'd be trying to get Hanrahan in at corner back opposite Joshua Ryan and let Morrissey hurl at wing back. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 1079 - 14/04/2026 19:40:53 2666450 Link
Kilkenny seem very rattled by the result of a poxy league game in March don't they? We've all forgotten about it, certainly nobody here seems to think it will impact Saturday anyway. If Paddy Deegan is actually trying to use it as 'extra motivation for Saturday' he might as well stay at home. KK playing the poor mouth is something to behold though, not that there's much danger any of us'll buy what they are selling Stool Pigeon (Galway) - Posts: 989 - 14/04/2026 19:47:46 2666452 Link

Weather forecast for Saturday is good and I'm not sure if RTE are broadcasting the game live. There should be a big crowd in Pearce Stadium. I'm expecting Galway to win, terribly unlucky not to reach the League Final and their form is good. MD has built a fine team who will get better throughout the Championship. Galway to win by 5pts or more. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2814 - 15/04/2026 07:02:43 2666478 Link
This first ten minutes in Salthill are going to be hot and heavy if Eoin Cody's comments are anything to go by. Kilkenny are surely going to come out and try lay down a few markers early. I expect Niland and Rabbitte will be on the receiving end of a few late hits or stray pulls but if we withstand them early I think we will have too much for them to handle up front. I'd be happy enough if Mikey Butler wants to go following Niland all around the field given we saw in the league game that Mikey Carey won't hold up against Whelan matched up inside. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 1079 - 15/04/2026 09:29:58 2666493 Link

Killeen and Daniels will be the midfield partnership. Triffic (Galway) - Posts: 172 - 15/04/2026 09:55:36 2666498 Link

Thats bound to annoy anyone. There are only so many ways to answer the same question. Tadhg2020 (Limerick) - Posts: 197 - 15/04/2026 10:14:57 2666500 Link
