Replying To theboys:  "Lee chin has never hurled centre back for his club wouldn't work,at least Hannon and Conlon hurled centre back for their clubs!!! I'd be confident that what we have available for centre back would be alot better!!!!"
Think so too. Think we need Lee at 11 or wing forward myself.

Replying To Timbertony:  "Conlan had the humility to go back into a completely new position late in his career. Not saying Chin wouldn't do it if asked but I always thought him playing in the full forward line was a bit more for his benefit than the team. To be fair I thought he worked like a trooper that day v Galway forcing turnovers etc but we got very little out of him v KK and Clare.

With other options, It might be a stretch to think P Foley can come back from Aus and be our starting 6. Not exactly sure what happened Molloy this year but from watching him at underage and club level, thought he was a cert to make step up to senior level. Damien Reck isnt a 6 anyway."
Hope Patsy is fully fit next year. Was our best minor in 2019.

Chinner played centre back for the harriers for at least three seasons. Liam Dunne played him at 6 for Wexford at the beginning too.

I don't think he should play there, but if we wanted to he's loads of experience.

Damien Reck is the best hurler we have bit 100% centre back is not his best position. Assuming paudie comes back he's most suited there naturally I think.

Agreed about Molloy too. Seriously skilful, physically strong, athletic and very confidential. I can't believe he didn't nail it down this year but had a good few injuries in fairness. If he stays fit in pre season next year he's 100% in our best 15
