Molloy probably should start but imagine they need that bit of experience in the forwards. Not sure of the status of Lee, Burke, Fleming etc."
not far off but id be adding hanrahan, rory burke and whelan to the starting fifteen..dont think lee or fleming will make the 26 due to injury

Replying To Pope_Benedict:  "Didn't Trayers play centrally at no3 or no6 all NHL? He might be retained in a central position? If Cianan Fahy is only as good as his last game, that being the first half v Limerick, he might struggle to get a start for this one."
Trayers will play 3 or the league was a waste of his time

I'm not in love with PM at 6 but I suspect this will happen.

Is Dáithi Burke available?

Trayers has to start at full back. Shane O'Brien got absolutely no change out of him before we went off in the Limerick game. Centre back is a bit of a conundrum if Daithi is still out. I'd say they would rather keep Mannion on the wing so maybe Cian Daniels could do to 6 and we could play Monaghan and Gavin Lee (if fit) in the middle. I'd be trying to get Hanrahan in at corner back opposite Joshua Ryan and let Morrissey hurl at wing back.

Kilkenny seem very rattled by the result of a poxy league game in March don't they? We've all forgotten about it, certainly nobody here seems to think it will impact Saturday anyway.

If Paddy Deegan is actually trying to use it as 'extra motivation for Saturday' he might as well stay at home.
KK playing the poor mouth is something to behold though, not that there's much danger any of us'll buy what they are selling
