Great news to see common sense prevailing with cregg and the dalys coming back. If we could get Domican and collins back we'd really be able push forward next year.

If we could get collins back we would be in a serious position going into the league..the three dalys are a huge boost and cahal cregg has massive experience and will help bring the younger lads on..any word on who else has been brought in

Interesting to read that Donal Shine won't be part of the panel again next year any reason why not? McStay for the last 2 season has been trying to find a good target man on the inside line and good accurate free long range taker, surely Shine at 28 would have filled those voids.

Donie's ship has sailed regarding the county team. In his last few years with the county he struggled to rediscover his old magic. When i watched Donie i always felt if he only pushed himself he would dominates game and would have part of out midfield solution, but, alass it didn't happen.

Great to have the lads back, All them along with Finbar Cregg who is also back involved will be major assets to team and panel in 2018. Neil Collins is to come back yet as well.

Again the truth eventually comes out and lads that were on here speading lies saying all of the above wouldnt commit to Roscommon whilst McStay was involved are shown up again.

Great news all around. Kevin will end up spoiled for choice with so many talented players available ! Hope the injured can heal up too. Those of us who never doubted the commitment of all these players and our management will feel vindicated now but the real winner is Roscommon football.

Its not definite yet but its more than likely he will be back at some stage. Hes still in the US so will obviously miss the early stages of training/season should he come back

Great to hear Daly's, Cregg & Collins will be available to play next year..Would like to see the 2 Shines involved too, Ultan Harney will also be another talented addition..

Ciaran caff is also back along with the addition of Philip neilan and aonghus lyons from fuerty I can see conor hussy been brought in after glaveys finish. any word on if Darren O'Malley will return? Andy glennon could be a option as a target man who is a natural forward instead of persisting with tom Corcoran and cathal Compton who aren't natural forwards

Glennon didn't want to/couldn't commit last year so unless his circumstances have changed I doubt he will be part of the panel this year.

Ciaran Cafferky was there this year but ruled out due to injury. Lyons was part of the development panel and was on the bench for a few of the NFL games. Andy Glennon has apparently been recalled after stepping away last January. Playing Corcoran,Cathal Compton as full forwards was a pointless exercise.

I think Donie as well, surly they deserved a trial and are within the top 46 players called up

Yes I would have to agree with you, surely they are up there with the quality of lads up there at the moment and deserved a look.
