Saw Egan in Armagh with the panel so he's still involved. Had an injury but not sure of timescale

Replying To gaillimhboy:  "PJ a big Hernon fan, think we'll see him start come championship."
Best day in Galway jersey Saturday marked Clifford in 2nd half and out scored him.

He's not a midfielder option at 3 5 and 7

Replying To 1951andwaiting:  "Heading into Rd 4, and a few observations from my previous proposed team for later league & Championship selection,
doubt now PJ will go with Kelly at 3, so perhaps 7 for him, and Fitz at 3, (concerned about that).
6 is still a problem,
Egan obviously not involved (a pity imo)
If McGrath keeps performing, he will take the place of one of the McDonaghs (probably Oisin)
O' Laoi is pushing hard for a place
Think Kieran Molloy could be worth a few games at full back ????"
I think O Laoi has showed alt of promise and deserves the wing back jersey for sat night. O Flaherty an impact sub and I worry about him defensively. Hernon is a solid option. McGrath the find of the year and great to see Maher back looks like he never went away. Comer & Walsh are an after thought at this stage with their continuous injury/fitness issues.

You can't judge that unless your marking Clifford in hot summer championship football. Galway for sam 26 though it must be !!

Ó Laoi is in the form of his life, thats 2 games on the trot hes got the ball in a defensive position in his own half, charged at the opposition and laid off a pass that ended in a goal. The some lad for driving out of defense with the ball. Well able to score too he just needs to back himself more.

He's scored a point the last 3 games and even went for a few 2 pointers the last day. He looks like he's backing himself. He's been around since 2019 so about time he grabs the jersey and makes it his own and looks like he is doing that. Looks to be the quickest player Galway have at the moment coming from deep.
