Replying To smallfrank:  "It looks a strange team and panel to me.
Daly hasnt been at 6 in a while and O'Conghaile is a good lad but not exactly in the Thompson or Tierney mould, i can see changes before throw in. On the other hand, thats an impactful bench at first glance, Kelly, O'Flaherty, Walsh, Comer to come on. This would have been a good game for Mulryan to get a few minutes. Are the O'Neills still on the panel, wasnt it Sam O'Neill who started last year in Derry."
Thought Sam O'Neill did his cruciate!

You posted yesterday he was in the mix. Check with your source and advise us. I've been saying for years he should be included.

Is nobody else surprised that Shane McGrath isn't starting? I would have thought his performances throughout the league would have justified selected against Leitrim to make his championship debut. Not saying he should be starting over McDaid or O'Laoi but may be better suited to 11 than L O'C.

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer:  "Mixed news on the injury front, can imagine Walsh,Comer will be very rusty and both will need 20 or 30 minutes in their legs before the Connnacht final.

Galway to win by 13 to 15 points I reckon tomorrow."
I don't see that winning margin. Remember the Sligo match a few years ago. Galway have conceded huge amounts since the new rules came in. I think we'll be under pressure at stages, I'm expecting a fast start from Leitrim but if we can stifle that, we should have the bench to see it home.

In that starting 15 who do you replace for B McHugh? His deadballs skills are up with the best in the country but what does he offer the team in open play? Not enough to justify selection over Mac Donnacha. Darcy won't start inside, I can see at least 2 change before throw in.
