I imagine some of the big names like Kelly getting a nice offer and for his sake hope its more of a holiday than with odd game and he takes it easy. It all happens very fastout championship with Galway and on a plane by the Tues/Weds makes you wonder was there talk of this before meath game to these players and if so might have been a bit of a distraction. McLaughlin is man who was seen as our greaty hope but dont think he has kicked a ball in anger since u20s final win years ago always injured. Moycullen Corofin in the privlidged position of knowing they will get thoruigh group wihtout much fuss and will have players back. Whereas like of Barna losing Hernon for games is a juge blow. I do hope they enjoy it and can see why they go.

You have nailed it.

Everything is relative Yew. Not all All Ireland champions are of the same standard. Tyrone were beatable for ye in 2021. They haven't done much since and the Managers are gone. A huge chance missed by Mayo. Galway had a great chance last year against Armagh and didn't take it unfortunately. It would have been far harder to win an All Ireland final against Dublin's 6 in a row team do you not think.

What do you mean Tyrone haven't done much since? They won the minors and under 20s this year and are into a semi in seniors .
Galway just weren't good enough last year same as we weren't in 21 .
