Is the plan to have Ciaran Kavanagh involved in a playing capacity? I'd be surprised given what he's been through and obviously its secondary and his recovery from his illness all that matters really.

Have to be honest, even having seen alot of games this year and indeed previous years some of the players brought in ive not heard of or noticed before. I expected alot of new names from this years championship who havent been mentioned but then maybe they were asked and declined. One thing i would love to be reintroduced after the club campaign is either the district competition or the all star game vs the current county team. In my opinion both of these were always great ways for managements to look at players in a different environment who were on their radar for a county call up. Based on this years championships I feel the wexford district would win both the football and hurling but it wouldnt be all plain sailing in the hurling for them. hurlin101 (Wexford) - Posts: 114 - 23/11/2021 17:50:57 2390493 Link 0 |

If hes good enough to be in the panel but would rather play hurling why not bring him in if he doesnt make the hurling panel? Bit childish not to if hes good enough.

Idve thought we would be more likely than Leitrim. Otherwise hard to argue with those odds. Bookmakers are never far off!

More rumours again from you, I don't know if you are connected with the management team or you are very close to them but you need to stop with this kind of stuff.

u totally misunderstand [low iq?] i do not mean any case , im not saying it has happened lately, but it did happen in past, im just asking if lads on here were some sort of a fantasy manager what way would they react? bide your time and wait to see is he available or tell him its now or never as a test of his commitment

I'd have had us ahead of Leitrim too, while Carlow have lost Broderick to retirement which is a huge blow. Fox of Tipp retired this week too which weakens them as well. Just looking at the additions and returning players, we really do have a wealth of options in defence. Re-introducing Robbie Barron, Jim Rossiter and Glen Malone to what was already an experienced and talented core has us arguably as strong back there as our golden period. Unearthing the next Matty is the next hurdle. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1486 - 25/11/2021 11:54:16 2390748 Link 0 |

Agree, a class forward is missing and you would have to say looking at the club championship I don't think we say anything new. One of the most effective forwards was a back.

Mattys dont grow on trees that's for sure Beano! Agree the back 6 look strong though a Graeme Molloy type for fullback would be great. The game has evolved since the noughties and players are required to be more complete insofar as backs have to be able to take scores and forwards have to be able to press and tackle. We probably need a Lynger as well as a Matty to get back as competitive as we were back then. Cant have too many scoring forwards!!!

If he then later gets a call to ask him to join the hurling panel anyway, he can make his own decision at that stage. So, if I was some soft of fantasy football manager, I wouldn't be happy with lads saying "am going to wait to see if I hear from the hurling crowd". I'd expect him to come on board with football when first asked if he was genuinely interested in it, even if I had to accept there was a chance I might subsequently lose him from the panel again, depending on what decision he might make at a later stage.

And the best of them are largely the best at both. Even at under 9s in our club, which would have been more successful at Football than Hurling down the years, most of the best players prefer Hurling. And it then becomes a sort of self fulfilling prophesy. Since the 50s we have had alot more success at Hurling than Football, which gives an added incentive to the better players to pick hurling as they are more likely to win something down the line. And that's if they dont prefer Hurling to start with which alot of young lads seem to. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15681 - 26/11/2021 07:22:14 2390854 Link 0 |

There's no point trying to unearth the next Matty, he's arguably the best footballer to ever play for Wexford, the best in my lifetime anyway, its as pointless as Kilkenny supporters looking for the next Henry, JJ or Tommy they don't just grow on trees. Of the new additions/returns I think Malone and Staples I'd have the highest hopes for, hoping Mini Ryan gets more gametime too, 3 players very consistent and club level for the last 3-4 years, interesting to see the roles of Brosnan, Waters and Brian Malone if they stay on. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 26/11/2021 10:51:24 2390874 Link 0 |

You would imagine the roles of the 3 experienced players will be minimal, there for experience to help the younger players
