We never heard the real reason why Glenties man McGuinness parted company with Gallagher.

We also don't typically play a straight 13,14,15 either. I'd like to see him become comfortable in either 13 or 15. There's also an option for him going in at full forward while Murphy comes out around the middle as is his want. We've got some decent forwards you know and he is talented, no question. But it's finding a place for him to get experience and to see what he can offer which is tricky.

Ceist_Beag wrote: » Absolutely agree gfk, although the way the game is changing it's good that he's learning both roles. Also interesting to see he was knocking over a few frees yesterday (one sounds like a particularly impressive effort) - might be Rory looking at alternatives to Colm from that side.
Redsoxfan wrote: » I'd say Paddy McBrearty would be ahead of MacNiallais as the left footed free taker. Marty O'Reilly seems to be taking the left side/right footed frees right now and playing further forward. But we won't really know if anything has changed until much later. Last year, Leo McLoone didn't play half forward until the Championship.

Redsoxfan wrote: » So his wife is from Kilcar and Rory knows Cooney well. So was he second choice to Martin McElkennon? Or was there nothing to that story. Not clear if he is still involved with Celbridge. Even if he isn't, I assume he lives in the Pale?
