Of course they will but if we match their intensity then we will win and likely with a bit to spare. If we turn up like we did in Antrim a couple of years and play with the intensity of lads in town for a stag party then we are vulnerable.

I agree we really have to be wary of Kildare in Newbridge. We need to get out of there with 2 points and then we have a chance

According to the radio Jacko and Jippo are available Saturday Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 19222 - 14/04/2026 14:23:32 2666380 Link 0 |

Fantastic boost for us. Would imagine Jacko will start if near 100% fit. Would imagine we wont know if likes of Donohoe and Cian Molloy are fit until we see the 26 when its named Thursday/Friday. Heard Darren Codd is out with broken finger from the last Kildare game. Its impossible to predict our starting 15 before Saturday which maybe isnt a bad thing. I hope competition in training and lads are chomping at the bit to really tear into this championship

I think forearmed is forewarned. Wexford have had mare's of results before against teams they should be beating. Rossi will have drilled it in to them to not look beyond this weekend? StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1989 - 14/04/2026 15:10:49 2666400 Link 0 |

With various talk comparing ourselves to Dublin and also how we need to be wary against the so-called "weaker" teams, nerdy me has been down a bit of a rabbit hole to see how certain records compare since the championship went back to a round-robin in 2022 after Covid.

As I understand it jacko and shane reck are flying. Dempsey and Codd are out. Not sure on the others. Word is competition for places is extremely strong. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 4443 - 14/04/2026 16:34:53 2666419 Link 0 |

I should hope so. We'll need to bring 100% to every game. If we can do that we have a good chance, but we'll need our whole panel which is coming together nicely now.

Think I'd go with something like the following on Saturday (Assuming a few of the lads are fit and ready to go): ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 1051 - 14/04/2026 17:30:31 2666430 Link 0 |

The elephant in that room is our head to head record against Dublin. Drawn 1, Lost 3. Do we subconsciously take Dublin for granted, or do they raise their game against us?

According to the paper Patsy wont be ready, but Jippo is.

It couldn't have been the same at minor in 2023 as Niland, Rabbitte etc have now been exposed and hurling well on the Galway senior team the same as the Tipp trio last year. Makes a huge difference in a team. Minor is just 17 year old with potential talent, nothing more. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 1030 - 15/04/2026 01:23:31 2666474 Link 0 |

Ok, Cian Molloy not ready in time for Saturday per the paper so would go Simon Donohoe (If 100%) at full-back instead, not really a traditional full-back but has played there in the past and will be up against Muiris Curtin who isn't a traditional full-forward

Cian Molloy is out according to Wexford people . I could be wrong but can't see Jippo playing the full 70. Id expect Simon Donohoe to start at full back . We have to deal with Muiris Curtin who will be a handful. On the starting team it's hard to predict a couple of places up for grabs . I would say the only line I have full confidence in predicting is Jacko Simon Roche and Chin in the half forward line Afinestick96 (Wexford) - Posts: 964 - 15/04/2026 08:53:08 2666485 Link 0 |

I think it is because they are better than us.

There is no chance that someone who has not hurled full back inter county before will hurl full back in championship.

Will be very interesting to see if they think Jippo is fit enough to start on Saturday .On one hand I dont want to see him rushed but if they think he is 100% fit it would be great to have him back. Please god we are doing really well and can afford to take him after 45/50 but absolutely nothing is a given we will have to earn it. If they do start him I wouldnt mind seeing the following line up Fanning Donohoe Jippo Carley Shane Reck Damien Reck Riche Lawlor Conor Foley ( Would like to see either him or Richie Lawlor here) Conor Hearne Jacko Simon Roche Chin Cian Byrne/Seán Rowley ( However is showing most form in training) Jack Redmond Kevin Foley I think there is one place up for grabs in the forwards Jacko, Roche, Chin, Foley and Redmond will definitely start Hearne will start at midfield there is a place beside him up for grabs. Then the backs we can be sure that Damien Reck will start. According to reports Shane Reck is hurling well so id expect him to play. Id also expect to Donohoe to start if fit aswell as Richie Lawlor and Conor Foley with one of them possibly moving to midfield.

I 100% agree we need someone experienced at full back if Jippo is 100% fit it will be him and if not it will be Simon Donohoe. Id be shocked if it was anyone else

They are better at winning close games between us for sure.
