Replying To GaryMc82:  "You're right in that he probably has an edge as a sub entering the fray late in a game that he otherwise won't have if in from the start, same with big Michael Murphy. I always liked Ryan McHugh ever since he helped demolish the Dubs in 2014, the Dub team that couldn't be beaten, masterful exhibition and probably one of the biggest upsets that day. He has lost a step or two over time, its 12 years since that famous day, but still a handy boy.

Word of warning though, Derry are coming good under Ciaran Meenagh this year, and looking at Ulster, id say a Ulster final is on the cards and Id bank on a Derry v Donegal final."

Replying To Tirchonaill1:  "I think Derry won't be far away alright, our side of the draw is harder to navigate, when ot comes to the big games Jim will play whoever suits the opposition best, Ryan is a safe pair of hands, always uses the ball well, maybe a substitute roll will be on the cards for him later on in the Championship, all depends on injuries etc too.
If Michael is fully fit I can't see him being left on the bench in a big game, he's just too good to play minutes without him when you don't have to imo.
He is getting into the best shape of his career almost from what I see, the man is a machine."
